6.3.4 Output Pulldown

The device has an output pulldown circuit. VOUT pulldown sink to ground capability is listed in the Electrical Characteristics table. The output pulldown activates under the following conditions:

  • Device disabled
  • 1.0V < VIN < VUVLO

The output pulldown current for this device is 0.9mA typical.

Do not rely on the output pulldown circuit for discharging a large amount of output capacitance after the input supply collapses. When the input supply collapses, reverse current flows from the output to the input, and this reverse current causes damage to the device. See the Reverse Current section for more details.
