  • Hi Sateesh,

    I will share the WEBENCH design.

    In the datasheet recommendation, CFF is open. The customer would like to simulate with this condition.

  • Hi Ohashi-San,

    Thanks for sharing the design. We are able to replicate the issue. We are currently debugging to verify if its valid. We will get back with more details by next week.

  • Hi Ohashi-San,

    We apologize for the delay in responding to your query.

    Upon investigation, we identified and resolved the issue. The resolution involved modifications to the component selection process in the backend code, specifically for the Cout and Cff capacitors. However, due to these changes, we need to align with our product lines, and as a result, the status has been marked as “under review.”

    As we approach the year-end holiday season, please note that many of our product experts are currently on vacation. This may lead to delayed responses and could potentially impact our usual turnaround time. We sincerely appreciate your understanding and patience during this period.

    We will keep you updated on any further developments.

    Thank you for your continued support.

    Best regards,

  • Dear Ohashi-san,

    Greetings of the day!

    I hope this message finds you well.

    I am writing to provide an interim update regarding the LMR33630B. We have successfully resolved the issue and consulted our product experts on the matter. Based on their recommendations, we are implementing similar changes and updates across all devices in this family.

    These updates are scheduled to be released during the upcoming code freeze, tentatively planned for January 15, 2024. The changes should reflect by the end of next week.

    In the meantime, please find attached the design report for the LMR33630B, both with and without the Cff capacitor, for your reference
