LM27762: I'm not sure how to use the PGOOD terminal of LM27762.

Part Number: LM27762

The data sheet of LM27762 explains that if you do not use the PGOOD function, connect it to the ground, but since the PGOOD terminal is an open drain, I think that you can open it without connecting it to the ground.
I don't understand why the datasheet says connect to ground.
Shouldn't I use this terminal without connecting it anywhere?

  • Hi Takashi,

    As per the datasheet, PG pin needs to be connected to the GND when unused. I recommend to follow datasheet specifications inorder to avoid any damage to the IC.

    I will also check internally if I can get more details on this.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Takashi,

    I confirmed this with our design team and it seems you could even leave this pin floating. There should not be a problem with that.
