nPM1300 BUCK1 and BUCK2 efficiencies lower than expected

Hello,

We received directly from Nordic samples of the nPM1300 revision C.

We are aware that according to the errata, the efficiencies of BUCK1 and BUCK2 should be 10% less than expected from the datasheet.

We measure the efficiencies and we got 15% less for the BUCK1 (1V8 output) and 20% less for the BUCK2 (3V3 output):

Is it something already known for this revision? Will it be improved? Can you share the setup used for the measurements?

Thank you,
