LTC1871 Gate pin won't drop below 1V so FET won't turn off

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LTC1871

I have a LTC1871 design and upon initial test, the Gate pin won't drop below 1V so the MOSFET is always on and won't turn off.

I can see that the Gate pin is capable of going to 0V when then RUN pin is disabled.

Am I doing something wrong or is there something wrong this this chip?

Here is the scope trace of the Gate pin.
