LTM8024 won't start

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LTM8024

I have two LTM8024 umodules in my design. One of them is configured with both outputs in parallel and the other is a third parallel of the first rail and also a second rail. The two rails are 3.3v and 1.15v. The 3.3v is supposed to come up first then the pgood triggers a delay circuit which then enables the 1.15V rail. The share pins are connected per the datasheet. The feedback pins are connected per the datasheet with properly selected resistor values. Each of the TRSS pins has a 0.01u cap on it, which should be reasonable. The run pins for the three parallel legs of the 3.3v are tied to a circuit that properly send a 5V level to turn the supplies on, but they don't turn on. When the run signal goes high, the TRSS1 pin rises to 2V in about 20ms, the TRSS2 pin never rises above 0V. Has anyone seen this issue before?

  • I was able to get the design to start by making a resistance measurement at the TRSS2 pin of the 3.3v regulator. This was accidental. I suspect that this is due to a small amount of current being applied to the TRSS2 pin from the multimeter. I have several boards exhibiting exactly the same behavior.
