Hi TI team,
Can I leave power good pin (PGOOD) floating if power good functionality is not required? What does TI recommend?
Thanks,

Hi Binayak,
PGOOD is open drain pin. Though it is very low risk to leave PGOOD pin floating, theoretically noise could be coupled to the pin and damage the pin.
I would suggest to pull PGOOD to VIN (pin10, 3.3v or 2.5V) via a pull-up resistor, even PGOOD signal is not used.
Sometime PGOOD signal can be used for debugging during design stage.
Thanks
