PRODUCTION DATA
Because the sense out (SO) and power-good (PG) pins are pulled up internally to the output rail, they cannot be pulled up to any voltage or wire AND'd like a typical open-drain PG output can be. If these signals must be pulled up to another logic level then an external circuit can be implemented using a PMOS transistor and a pullup resistor. Implementing the circuit shown in Figure 8-10 allows the outputs to be pulled up to any logic rail. This implementation also allows the outputs to be AND'd together like the traditional power-good pins.
