Help debug ADP2370 (fixed 3.0V) but getting 1.6V out

Thread Summary

The user encountered a low output voltage (1.6V) from an ADP2370 buck converter when no load was connected. Disconnecting the diode (D2) resolved the issue, confirming the buck converter was functioning correctly. The ADP2370 datasheet indicates it prevents reverse current flow, suggesting the diode may be unnecessary. Another user with a similar issue was advised to try the ADP2371, which includes a quick output discharge function (QOD).

Hi,

This is the schematic and just today we got our board and after soldering the buck converter(ADP2370-3.0V) I was surprised to see 1.6v across the capacitor (C1) while I was supplying clean 6.0V DC. Soldering was done in a lab with the professional. The mistakes we think could be whether the connection of the respective pins of the regulator are correct. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
