The PWRGD pin is an open-drain output that is asserted when the output voltage reaches an appropriate range. The PWRGD pin may be pulled-up through a resistor to VOUT or to another voltage level within the device recommended operating conditions. Select the resistor size to keep the maximum current sunk by PWRGD to under the recommended operating condition current maximum of 2mA. Generally a pull up resistor of 10kΩ is sufficient. Using a larger value resistor will minimize power dissipation but may allow switching noise to couple into the PWRGD signal due to the weaker pull-up.
PWRGD will be asserted or deasserted when VOUT is within a certain percentage of its programmed value. This is accomplished by comparing the voltage on VSENSE (VSENSE = VSNS+ − VSNS-) to (VREF + VSNS-). This enables the use of the same power good levels whether or not differential remote sensing is utilized. If differential remote sensing is not utilized (which means VSNS- = GND), then it is simplified so that the voltage on VSNS+ is compared to VREF.
For example, when VSENSE reaches PWRGDLOW_R% (typically 95%) of its final value, PWRGD is asserted. When VSENSE falls below PWRGDLOW_F% (typically 92%), PWRGD is deasserted. See Figure 8-5 for these waveforms.
Power good also has a threshold if an overvoltage event occurs on VOUT. For example, when VSENSE reaches PWRGDHIGH_R% (typically 108%) of its final value, PWRGD is deasserted. When VSENSE falls below PWRGDHIGH_F% (typically 105%), PWRGD is asserted. See Figure 8-6 for these waveforms.
The PWRGD is in a defined state when the VIN input voltage is greater than 2V but has reduced current sinking capability. The PWRGD achieves full current sinking capability by the time VIN reaches 4.5V. See VINMIN_PWRGD in the Electrical Characteristics.
In addition to the description of PWRGD above, PWRGD is deasserted during other conditions that cause regulation to stop such as:
