What could be the reason for Fault being always asserted? Schematic below; I'm trying to simply get the part working, not drive anything yet. V3P3OUT does output 3.3V.

Hi Izzo,
The nFAULT pin is an open drain output which requires an external pull-up resistor. Typically the resistor value is 10kΩ.
Is there a pull-up resistor already in the design?

Hi David,
There's a 100k pull-up to 3.3V (3.3V is the logic level supply).
Is there a specific sequence of driving nSLEEP and nRESET high? I have them connected to to 3.3V via pull-ups as well.
Hi Izzo,
Using a 100kΩ pull-up resistor on these pins is likely to much. What's the voltage when measuring nFAULT? I would suggest trying a smaller pull-up resistor value, maybe 10kΩ or 4.7kΩ.
Best,
David
Hi David,
I've tied nRESET and nSLEEP to 3.3V with no pull-up, and used 4.7 kΩ for pulling up nFAULT, and now the part works.
Thank you for your help.
