Dear TI support,
The datasheet specifies for the ZEDE pin a strong pulldown. What is a strong pulldown? Is a pulldown value of 1k sufficient?
What current does flow into this pin in programming mode and during normal operation?
Thanks a lot.
Thomas
Delay Time Zero
The ZEDE pin enables the EEPROM-programmed detection-delay times when connected to VSS (normal operation). A strong pulldown to VSS is recommended to prevent external circuit noise from causing ZEDE to go high. The detection delay time is set to minimum when this pin is connected to VREG. This is used in battery manufacturing test. When programming the EEPROM, this pin should to be connected to VREG to enable the serial communication interface.
