FLT is an open-drain pin and must be pulled up to an external supply.
The device response after a fault varies based on the mode of operation:
For faults that are latched internally, power cycling the part or pulling the EN/UVLO pin voltage below VSD(F) clears the fault and the pin is de-asserted. This action also clears the tRST timer (auto-retry variants only). Pulling the EN/UVLO just below the UVLO threshold has no impact on the device in this condition. This is true for both latch-off and auto-retry variants.
