The device provides a boost status indicator (STATUS) to simplify sequencing and supervision. STATUS is an open-drain output. A pullup resistor between 5 kΩ and 100 kΩ can be externally connected to the STATUS pin. The STATUS switch opens four cycles after the VOUT pin voltage is greater than the overvoltage voltage (V_OVTH). The STATUS pin is pulled down to ground when the following occurs:

• VOUT pin voltage is less than V_OVTH.
• UVLO is less than V_UVLO.
• VCC is less than V_VCC-UVLO.
• During thermal shutdown

The STATUS pin voltage cannot be greater than V_VOUT + 0.3 V.
