When /SHDN pin is tied low, there should be not output at MAX1724. However, in reality, I am seeing that it does have an output voltage. How do I shut the part off completely?

Question

Accepted Answer

MAX1724 shutdown only implies that the chip is not operating. Since the device is not true shutdown, there is still a path between the input and output. From the datasheet (rev 5 8/17), " During shutdown, the body diode of the P-channel MOSFET allows current to flow from the battery to the output. VOUT falls to approximately VIN - 0.6V and LX remains high impedance." If you need a true shut-down step up converter , 
please refer to the MAX8627 for a 5V output.
