PRODUCTION DATA.
The LM3421 and LM3423 controllers implement zero current shutdown through the EN and RPD pins. When pulled low, the EN pin places the devices into near-zero current state, where only the leakage currents occurs at the pins (typical 0.1 µA). The applications circuits frequently have resistor dividers to set UVLO, OVLO, or other similar functions. The RPD pin is an open-drain N-channel MOSFET that is enabled only when the device is enabled. Tying the bottom of all resistor dividers to the RPD pin as shown in Figure 16 allows them to float during shutdown, thus removing their current paths and providing true application-wide zero current shutdown.
