TPS61071: TPS71071 "SW pin short to GND”

Part Number: TPS61071

Hello team,

My customer is using TPS61071DDCR.

Recently, under production in their factory,  TPS61071 has failure which is “SW pin short to GND”.   The failure rate is 5 /100 units (5%)

I found the similar information from E2E forum, and the answer is that important thing is layout.

Now we do not know which overshoot or ESD caused “SW pin short to GND”.

And, when checking the overshoot at switch node with TPS61070EVM, it seems that the voltage at switch node exceed to 7V(absolute maximum).


In this situation, I would like to know that what overshoot voltage at SW pin TPS61071 can allow? 

 

It may be simple question. Would you please advise?

  • Hi Akihisa:

    Thanks for asking. Yes, the layout is important for switch power.  Please share the layout with us so we could help to check together.

    Besides, what's your Vin range, Vout and load condition?   

    "And, when checking the overshoot at switch node with TPS61070EVM, it seems that the voltage at switch node exceed to 7V(absolute maximum)."

    May you also share the waveform? As I did some test before, and didn't find it. (Sorry that these days I'm out of lab with no EVM in hand.)
