Hello,
I measured on several different designs based on LT8638S a transient on output few ms after startup in no/light load conditions. During investigations, I noticed a transient on Vcomp, which seems to occur when SS reach around 1.7V.
The problem is not visible in LTspice.
Where does it come from? Is there a way to avoid such transient or is it intrinsic to the IC?
Here is my schematic
And here are the measurements (Vout in yellow, Vcomp in green)

Tnx
Dominique
Hi,
Let us look into this for you. Could you please attach your LTSpice .asc file? Also, what is your input voltage range, output voltage, and load current?
Finally, could you please take another scope shot with the two traces you showed before, but also showing the voltage on the SS pin?
Thanks!
