Article What is the True Shutdown feature in MAX17220, MAX17222, MAX17223, MAX17224, MAX17225?

True Shutdown disconnects the output from the input with no forward or reverse current. There is a mosfet between input and output. When the IC shuts down (i.e. EN is disabled), the mosfet turns off. At this time, there is no direct current path between the input and output and the output voltage is zero.
