PRODUCTION DATA.
When the output is off, if a load is connected, the output is pulled down to GND. But if an open load occurs, the output voltage is close to the supply voltage (VVS – VOUT < V(ol,off)), and the device recognizes an open-load fault.
There is always a leakage current I(ol,off) present on the output due to the internal logic control path or external humidity, corrosion, and so forth. So an external pullup resistor is recommended to offset the leakage current when an open load is detected. The recommended pullup resistance is 15 kΩ.
