LT8362
Recommended for New Designs
The LT8362 is a current mode DC/DC converter with a 60V, 2A switch operating from a 2.8V to 60V input. With a unique single feedback pin architecture it...

I'm trying to build a step up converter to for from 6.5-8.3V DC all the way up to 48V with a maximum load of 15W.
I've gone with SEPIC configuration of an LT8362. I've gone with SEPIC over boost only to allow the output to be switched off completely.
My schematics attached below.
The problem I have is this, at no load Vout is a nice 48V, however as the load on the output goes above 2W, Vout drops back down to about 20V. Is someone able to give me some tips on what I can do to try an diagnose and resolve this problem?.

Also worth noting I changed the setup to a boost configuration using the same inductor as above, cutting a track and removing C3. Same problem except the voltage didn't drop off until 2.4W.
