TPS62420: output voltage problem on one channel

Expert 1570 points
Part Number: TPS62420

Hello

we designed 3.3V and 1.2V for a Delfino uC input voltages.

channel 1 is the 3.3V - we get 1.25V

channel 2 is the 1.2V - we get 1.2V

the diode D8 is to match as much as possible the rise of the voltages for the uC.

another point to mention - when power is off, we see a short circuit between the outputs (using buzzer function on a Fluke) - even if we remove the diode D8.

The output voltages are pretty smooth without any spikes.

the question is how can we debug this device?

here is the schematic:

In another thread on e2e I saw that it might be an issue of the device itself...here's the device. can you please confirm the marking is ok and this is an original part of TI?

Thanks a lot!

  • Hi Mojo,

    The device marking looks okay. A diode used in the schematic is causing a short circuit between two rails. Could you ditch output rails from controller and diode and measure the output voltage of both rails. I need more information on the layout and operating conditions and if possible the waveform of output voltage, inductor current during operation.

    This is TI part and this device doesn't have a problem with voltage regulations. 

    Best regards,

    Tanvee
