PRODMIX
The device incorporates a Power Good comparator for co-ordination of status to downstream DC-DC converters or system monitoring circuits. The comparator has an internal reference of V(PGTHR) = 0.99 V at negative terminal and positive terminal PGTH can be utilized for monitoring of either input or output of the device. The comparator output PGOOD is an open-drain active high signal, which can be used to indicate the status to downstream units. PGOOD is asserted high when internal FET is fully enhanced and PGTH pin voltage is higher than internal reference V(PGTHR).
The PGOOD signal has deglitch time incorporated to ensure that internal FET is fully enhanced before heavy load is applied by downstream converters. Rising de-glitch delay is determined by Equation 7.
Connect the PGOOD pin with a pull up resistor to Input or Output voltage rail. PGOOD may be left open or tied to ground when not used.
