LMR36506-Q1: MODE pin pull up to VCC or VOUT

Part Number: LMR36506-Q1

Hi team,

I plan to pull up MODE pin to set Auto mode.

Should I pull it up to VOUT (3.3V use case) or VCC?

Is there any concern if I pull up either of the supplies?

*MODE pin is connected to VCC on top of the datasheet simplified schematic.

I concern about the description in the datasheet as below

1. VCC should not be loaded externally,

2. Don't float MODE pin.

regards,

  • Hi Shinji,

    The Mode pin can be pulled up to either VCC or VOUT.

    1. It is not a problem to use VCC as a logic high signal.

    2. Mode pin will not be floating if tied to VCC or VOUT.

    If you use VOUT, make sure it is less than 5.5V.

    Regards, Jason
