LM3478: Technical Consultation — LM3478QMMX/NOPB

Part Number: LM3478

Dear TI Support,


We have used 10,500 pcs of LM3478QMMX/NOPB, with 4 pcs found defective. Details as follows:
1. At 12V supply, the chip operates normally. At 16V power-on, the PWM driver shuts down, then PWM becomes abnormal.
2. After replacing with a good chip, verification is normal. Soldering the defective chip onto a good PCBA reproduces the failure.

Please advise on possible root causes and what additional information we should provide. Thank you for your support.

Best regards,

Archer Ye
