TPS54531: please help check why the output of TSP54531 is unstable,

Part Number: TPS54531
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS56637

As below picture, we designed a circuit with 2pcs TPS54531, which input power is 5V or 12V ,and output power is 4V.

when we received the PCB , we found the out power of TPS54531 is unstable, changing from 2.6V to 3.6V, could you help have a check for this issue? thanks a lot.

  • Below picture is the curve of output power

    Hi,

    Could you please clarify the condition in the waveform you showed? What is the input voltage? What is the loading? Does 12V input voltage works normal?

    Thanks.

  • Thanks Bruce,  I update the picture of curve, and the issue need be updated as below:

    1) if set the input power below 5.2V, the curve of output power will same as the forward attached picture.

    2) if set the input power above 5.2V , the output power will be OK, 4V and stable.

    so we think the issue should caused by the efficiency of this circuit,  maybe caused by Circuit matching?

    Hi,

    TPS54531 is a non-sync converter and cannot support large duty applications actually. You can add a diode from Vout to BST or use a sync converter like TPS56637 for this 5V-4V application.

    For detailed explanation, please refer to the same question from 

    Please let me know if any further support needed.

    Thanks.
