6.3.6 Output Pulldown

The device (new chip) has an output pulldown circuit. The output pulldown circuit activates under the following conditions:

  • The device is disabled with EN logic
  • 1.0V < VIN < VUVLO

The output pulldown resistance for this device is 1.5kΩ (typ), as listed in the Electrical Characteristics table.

Reverse current flows from the output to the input. Thus, do not rely on the output pulldown circuit for discharging a large amount of output capacitance after the input supply collapses. This reverse current flow potentially causes damage to the device. See the Reverse Current section for more details.
