Hi TI,
My customer has a issue with TPS61150A.
Applying the pwm signal independently results in an IOUT voltage drop(0.5V).
Please refer to the below waveform.
If SEL1 and SEL2 are connected and one signal is applied, there is no voltage drop.

Hi Mason,
I don't understand your question clearly. Could you share us the schematic that you tested with above question?

Hi sir,
What's your input voltage for this test?
Please remove R284 and R113 since there are pull-down resistor in the device.
What's your test process when you observed the voltage drop?
What's your meaning of "If SEL1 and SEL2 are connected and one signal is applied, there is no voltage drop."

Hi Mason,
How about the phase between the two PWM signals when you do the independent test?
And have you measure the output current of each channel when you do the independent test and together test? Have you found any current change when you do the test?
Since for our LED driver, what we want to do is to make the output current constant and there may some voltage transient since you are using PWM dimming, but if the output current keeps no change, that's ok.

Hi Mason,
No, the phase is not important, have you checked the output current? Is that correct when you change the phase between those two PWM signals?

Hi Sean,
I've checked reduced output current from 10mA to 2mA.
PWM frequency: 20kHz
Duty: 55%.
You mentioned removing pull-down resistor(4.7k). And TPS61150A has an internal pull-down.
Can this resistor cause this problem?
25 / 5000
Hi mason,
That depends on the output impedance of the PWM signal pins, it may affect the signal amplitudes, but I also suggest you to measure the output current with different PWM signal connection.

Hi Mason,
I'm sorry that I can't guess what's the reason, could you do more test and check more detailly, thanks.

Sean
