LMR16006: Best practice for unused device

Part Number: LMR16006


Hello!

Our DRV832xR uses an internal LMR16006X to provide a buck output in case the customer wants it.

Some customers buy the Buck included version but won't be using it at all.

I have been told by some that simply routing the SHDN to GND is enough, others have told me that all 6 pins of the buck should be routed to GND.

What is the official best way to keep the buck off/safe if the buck will never be used?

Regards.
