OK
Pin already left open in normal application, so no difference.
OK
Frequency jumps to default open value.
OK
Exposed pad still provides GND connection to device.
OK
External soft-start removed, but internal soft-start still available.
OK
Controller stops switching. V_FB internally self biases HI to prevent
switching.
OK
Output still regulating, but the switching is erratic. Loop not stable.
OK
Use a 5.1V Zener V_Z, 10k R_Z and 0.01µF C_Z. Output Voltage is –6V
peak and averages –4.9V.
OK
Controller does not start-up.
OK
More jitter during switching, but regulates normally.
OK
SENSE internally prebiases to 0.6V below V_IN. This prevents
controller from switching.
OK
V_IN able to bias internally through SENSE. Regulates with high
V_OUT ripple.
OK
Gate does not drive external power FET, preventing output
regulation.
OK
Pin 3 (GND) still provides GND connection to device.

OK
Burst Mode operation disabled, but runs normally as in pulse-
skipping mode.
OK
FREQ already shorted to GND, so regulates normally.
OK
SS short to GND prevents device from starting up.
OK
V_OUT oscillates from 0V to 3V.
OK
Controller loop does not regulate to proper output voltage.
OK
Controller does not start-up.

OK
Able to start-up and regulate normally.
OK
CAP ~ V_IN, which prevents turning on external P-MOSFET.
OK
Regulates with high V_OUT ripple.
OK
Power MOSFET is always kept OFF, preventing regulation.
