Can the shutdown pin on the LT6010 remain floating and still guarantee NO shutdown?
- The datasheet says nothing about leaving it open
-All the specs spec a shutdown voltage
-The schematic shows a connection to the base of a transistor with just a series…
Hi KBarkley872: If the SHDN pin is truly open and floating, then the LT6010 will remain "on".
However, note that the SHDN input is an open base, so it will not take much input leakage from a higher supply (above Vee) to turn on the SHDN transistor…
