GND
Both ground pins must be connected together with low parasitic inductance. A common ground plane is
strongly recommended. Furthermore it is recommended to shield all primary-side circuitry with the ground
plane. The connecting distance between the ground pins must be kept to a minimum.
SO (status output)
When no primary-side under-voltage condition is detected, an internal pull-up resistor of 10kΩ keeps the
output level at the voltage level of VCC. When a primary-side supply under-voltage is detected, the status
output SO goes to low (connected to GND). The SO output is automatically reset (returning to the voltage
level of VCC) when the under-voltage on the primary side disappears.
The maximum SO current in a fault condition must not exceed the value specified in the driver data sheet
/3/.
