The non-existing variant of NCP730...

[Piotr Wyderski]

The datasheet says that the \"B\" version has power good indicator and
that the part is available both in TSOP-5 and WDFN. Both drawings show
where the PG pin is supposed to be. But only the \"A\" version in TSOP-5
is available on the market. What is the purpose of specifying the part
in such a misleading way?

Best regards, Piotr

Fishing for big sales. We do that too sometimes, mention an option or
a feature that we could do, to see if anyone is interested. It\'s not
misleading; it says to contact your rep.

It\'s probably just a wirebond option.

I agree with the above, but then why not just connect the PG pad to a
pin which is otherwise NC in the \"A\" variant and have one uniform part?
The \"B\" would significantly simplify me a section of a circuit, but the
minor issue is that it does not exist in TSOP-5.

Why are you asking us instead of the company rep? Maybe they have plans to produce the other package variant but just need a bit more incentive?
