7.3.5 Output Pulldown

The new chip has an output pulldown circuit. The output pulldown activates in the following conditions:

  • When the device is disabled (VON/OFF < VON/OFF(LOW))
  • If 1.0 V < VIN < VUVLO

Do not rely on the output pulldown circuit for discharging a large amount of output capacitance after the input supply has collapsed because reverse current can flow from the output to the input. This reverse current flow can cause damage to the device. See the Reverse Current section for more details.
