Input Voltage: Ensure it’s within the required range. Overcurrent Protection: Verify the load current doesn’t exceed the regulator's rating. Thermal Shutdown: Address overheating by improving cooling or reducing the load. External Components: Check capacitors and other components for proper values and placement. Enable Pin: Make sure the EN pin is correctly managed (logic high for operation).By carefully checking these key areas, you can diagnose and resolve the issue of the TPS74401RGWR entering shutdown mode. Proper system design, careful component selection, and ensuring correct operation of the enable pin will help prevent this issue from recurring.
