PRODUCTION DATA
The built-in power good (PG) function indicates whether the output voltage has reached its target. The PG signal can be used for startup sequencing of multiple rails. The PG pin is an open-drain output that requires a pull-up resistor to any voltage up to a voltage level of the input voltage at VIN. It can sink 2 mA of current and maintain its specified logic low level. PG is low when the device is turned off due to EN, UVLO or thermal shutdown, so it can be used to actively discharge Vout. VIN must remain present for the PG pin to stay low.
The power good threshold in transient operation can be slightly different from the dc values given in the electrical specification in case a feed forward capacitor is used on the output voltage divider. Due to the capacitive coupling, power good can go high for a short time after a release of a short circuit on the output.
If the power good output is not used, it is recommended to tie to GND or leave open.
