The TFP401/401A offers several system power-management features.

The output driver power down (PDO = low) is an intermediate mode which offers several uses. During this mode, all output drivers except SCDT and CTL1 are driven to a high-impedance state while the rest of the device circuitry remains active.

The TFP401/401A power down (PD = low) is a complete power down in that it powers down the digital core, the analog circuitry, and output drivers. All output drivers are placed into a Hi-Z state. All inputs are disabled except for the PD input. The TFP401/401A does not respond to any digital or analog inputs until PD is pulled high.

Both PDO and PD have internal pullups, so if left unconnected they default the TFP401/401A to normal operating modes.
