PRODUCTION DATA.
There is no requirement for the order that VIN or VBIAS are applied or removed.
One practical limitation is that the soft-start circuit starts charging CSS when both VBIAS rises above the UVLO threshold and the EN pin is above the VEN(ON) threshold. If the application of VIN is delayed beyond this point the benefits of soft start are compromised.
In any case, the output voltage cannot be ensured until both VIN and VBIAS are within the range of specified operating values.
If used in a dual-supply system where the regulator output load is returned to a negative supply, the output pin must be diode clamped to ground. A Schottky diode is recommended for this diode clamp.
