PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS40170-Q1 device provides an indication that the output voltage of the converter is within the specified limits of regulation as measured at the FB pin. The PGOOD pin is an open-drain signal and pulls low when any condition exists which can indicate that the output of the supply can be out of regulation. These conditions include:
Figure 6-17 shows a situation where no fault is detected during the start-up, (the normal PGOOD situation). It shows that PGOOD goes high tPGD (20 µs, typical) after all the conditions (previously listed) are met.
Figure 6-17 PGOOD SignalWhen there is no power to the device, PGOOD is not able to pull close to GND if an auxiliary supply is used for the power-good indication. In this case, a built-in resistor connected from drain to gate on the PGOOD pulldown device allows the PGOOD pin to operate as a diode to GND.
