DRV2700 HV piezo driver problem [SOLVED]

OK, here's correct shots of SW node at Vout set to 10V, 50V and 100V. At 100V actual Vout is degraded to 63V.

No, it's OK. I've changed that to several values in allowed range.
By default I put there 10k as in demo board, I've also tried 7.5k as a minimum value (max. current) and 30k as max. value (min. current).
With Rext=30k Vout becomes limited at 16-17V, with 7.5k vs. default 10k Vout is probably raises a bit, but I can't say that definitely.

When Vout is below desired value, Vfb is also below Vref, it could be anywhere down to zero, 0.4-0.5V for example. But Q2 is closed at that time!
Unixon:
I think I found the problem. After all, it was the excessive loading by the H-bridge MOSFETS.
When H-bridge is enabled and low side is turned on, due to resistor ratios high side also gets turned on and I observe a short across safeguard 1k resistor.
Unixon:
I suppose this mod should fix the problem... But then I will have to re-spin the board, even at best pads selection this may not look very nice on existing boards.
Unixon:
OK, now this works fine. So it wasn't a DRV2700 problem, my schematics for H-bridge was insufficient.
Thanks everyone, problem solved.
