TPS40077: Output is not 3.3V

Part Number: TPS40077

I am testing the design that was provided by our contractor of the TPS40077.

The input is 6.5V to 9.5V and is supposed to give 3.3V output, but I am only getting 1V.

Hi, please Upload your schematic for review.

Jensen,

For the schematic, please do some change to try.

By the way, what's the loading spec? and also you can try a smaller inductor if the loading is big, such as 3.3uH for 8A~10A.

Also if still not work, please catch Vin/VDBP/VSW/Vout waveforms.

Have you been able to make the changes Yuchang Zhang suggested?

Have they addresses your issue?

The TPS40077 controller uses the KFF pin to provide UVLO, Voltage Feed Forward and a maximum duty cycles. The low resistance on the KFF pin (10k) would create a very low maximum on-time, which is likely the cause for your 1V output.

The 100kOhm value Yuchang Zhang provided you with is for a 4.5V UVLO, since your minimum input voltage is 6.5V, you may want tp select a resistor as high as 140kOhms for a UVLO voltage closer to 6.5V. Also, since the KFF resistor programs the voltage feedforward gain, you should review the compensation design using the design tool - https://www.ti.com/lit/zip/sluc263
