LTC3106 Meaning and Timing of PGOOD Pin

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: LTC3106

Hi,

The description of the PGOOD pin in the LTC3106 datasheet is very vague, and I need clarification, please:

"If pulled high the PGOOD pin will float high and will not be valid until 3.5ms after the part is enabled."

What does this mean? Specifically: I assume / hope that it means PGOOD starts off pulled low, and only after the output voltage rises into regulation, does it release to float 3.5ms later. However, it could just as easily mean that PGOOD is glitchy until 3.5ms after power is applied, or until the output voltage is in regulation, or other interpretations.
