Load disconnection function is important when the load is not powered by the input voltage through the boost converter during shut down and the system is sensitive to shutdown power loss. The load disconnection function also allows for output short protection and minimizes the inrush current at start-up.
The device realizes true disconnection or true shutdown when a MOSFET in the path from the input to the load is fully turned off (including body diode).
