Hypothetically, let's assume no such alternative IC exists, because I am going somewhere with this!
For example, LM2679 has a "soft start" pin. Another ic such as LM2678 has on/off pin.
I wonder it is possible that one uses the "soft start" pin like a on/off switch?
Let's say, I like the features of LM2679, but I want to use its "soft start" pin to do some UVLO. Can I do that?
