ADVANCE INFORMATION
The power-good (PG) pin is an open-drain output and can be connected to a regulated supply through an external pullup resistor. The maximum pullup voltage is listed as VPG in the Section 5.3 table. For the PG pin to have a valid output, the voltage on the IN pin must be greater than VUVLO(+), as listed in the Section 5.5 table. When VOUT exceeds VIT+(PG), the PG output is high impedance and the PG pin voltage pulls up to the connected regulated supply. When the regulated output falls below VIT-(PG), the open-drain output turns on and pulls the PG output low. If output voltage monitoring is not needed, the PG pin can be left floating or connected to ground. By connecting a pullup resistor to an external supply, any downstream device can receive power-good (PG) as a logic signal that can be used for sequencing. Make sure that the external pullup supply voltage results in a valid logic signal for the receiving device.
When using a feed-forward capacitor (CFF) for the adjustable device, the time constant for the LDO start-up is increased whereas the power-good output time constant stays the same, possibly resulting in an invalid status of the power-good output. To avoid this issue, and to receive a valid PG output, make sure that the time constant of both the LDO start-up and the power-good output match, which can be done by adding a capacitor in parallel with the power-good pullup resistor.
