Folks,
Has anyone used the FSFA2100 primary switcher chip? We are seeing some failures upon a "dirty" input power start-up. That shouldn't happen because per datasheet it has cycle-by-cycle current limit.

Yes -- go hire a consultant, Joerg! Whatever were you thinking designing that part in that way!
Maybe I should hire a consultant to help me with my next digital servo loop -- what do you think?

I _am_ a consultant :-)
Ain't my design. It's one of those cases where I was approached late in the game, unfortuntely too late for a radical design change. Personally I never use fully integrated switcher ICs with on-chip power devices for anything more than a few watts.

However, in the not too distant future, for meaning
No, time :-)
Then we could do a more discrete design and be done with it.

Joerg, That FSFA2100 has been updated to a FSFR-XS2100. Looking at the upgrade may solve your problems. Or, HAC. Cheers, Harry

That one has a much higher Rdson and is functionally very different. Feedback is via the timing resistor input.
If we have to redesign I'd certainly not use this kind of chip anymore, then we'd go with external FETs.
What is HAC?
Harry, you newsreader doesn't quote right. Not a problem but could confuse some people.

HAC = Hire A Consultant.
(He knows you're a consultant, Harry's just having a bit of fun. :-)

Maybe a diode clamp on CS....or check LVCC behavior. Not much hysterisis there.
RL
That always checked out ok. Right now it looks like we might have had some bad chips, we can't make them fail anymore.

I certainly hope it's not one of these fine examples of Chinese counterfeit engineering:
Definitely not. My client only buys at reputable distributors.
