SNVSCT1A October 2025 – December 2025 LM5066H
PRODUCTION DATA
The LM5066Hx features a Power Good indicator pin (PGD) which requires an external pullup resistor to provide status indication to downstream circuits. The PGD pin's off-state voltage can operate above or below the VIN and OUT voltages.
The PGD signal asserts HIGH when all of the below conditions are met,
FB pin voltage exceeds the PGD threshold
Both GATE1-OUT and GATE2-OUT voltages indicate full enhancement (VGS1 >8V and VGS2 >8V)
Voltage across the FET (VDS) is less than 2V
The PGD signal pulls LOW when,
FB pin voltage drops below the PGD falling threshold
The output voltage threshold is typically set using a resistor divider network from output to the feedback pin. However, other voltages can be monitored as long as the FB pin voltage remains within its maximum rating. For threshold hysteresis, the device includes a 21μA current source at the FB pin. This current source remains disabled when FB voltage is below threshold. As output voltage increases and FB exceeds threshold, the current source activates, sourcing current from the pin to raise FB voltage. The PGD pin status can be read through the PMBus interface via either the STATUS_WORD (79h) or DIAGNOSTIC_WORD (E1h) registers.
