An internal 10μA pull-up current source is RUN (Pin 19/Pin 21): Run Control Input. Forcing this pin connected to this pin. A capacitor to ground at this pin below 1.12V shuts down the controller. Forcing this pin sets the ramp time to final regulated output voltage. The below 0.7V shuts down the entire LTC7801, reducing SS pin is also used for the Regulator Shutdown (REGSD) quiescent current to approximately 10µA. This pin can be feature.
