These pins should always RUN/SS (Pin 2): Combination of Soft-Start and Run be tied together. Control Inputs. Forcing this pin below 0.7V shuts down the device. In shutdown all functions are disabled and device SVIN (Pin 13): Signal Power Supply Pin. draws zero supply current. For the proper operation of the PGOOD (Pin 14): Power Good Indicator Pin. Power good part, force this pin above 2.5V. Do not leave this pin is an open-drain logic output. The PGOOD pin is pulled to floating. Soft-start can be accomplished by raising the ground when the voltage on the V voltage on this pin gradually with an RC circuit. FB pin is not within ±7.5% of its nominally regulated potential.
