Soundigital 1600.1 EVO 1ohm, no ps drive

When I got the amp I found the 10ohm resistor feeding the ps gate driver burned open and the gate driver bad/shorted.

Replaced resistor and chip (UCC27528, afaik an acceptable sub.. original was ucc27524dsdr), still dead.

I have drive from the pic to the driver ic (or at least bursts on each side as it tries to boot), but nothing coming out of driver ic. Seems like I'm missing something silly but...

Supplies are ok at the gate driver.
5v supplies are ok at pic.
Bridges seem fine.
Ps fets and gate resistors all seem fine.
Output section seems ok.

Weird..

Amp blinks 9 times during boot fyi. Never draws more than about 200mA. I've tried 14.4 and 12.4v supply.
 
Vdd on the driver is about 14.2v.

Signal from pic near 5v.

Cool, she's fixed.

Current draw when amp is off seems high though. About 40mA at 14.4v, 25mA at 12v. The 12v flyback supply is on when the remote is off (amp off), is that normal? The lmr62014 chip is fairly hot, I have replaced it and same results.
 
Hi Perry,

No, that is not trying to turn on, but it seems odd to me that this chip is consuming some power when amp is off. It's about 65C with amp off and voltage at 14.4 (which would not be realistic but anyway).

The lmr62014 chip by the green 1mH inductor.

Could be normal, the amp is working as expected.
