13.3.6.2 PWOK (Power OK) Output Signal
PWOK is a power OK signal and will be pulled HIGH by the power supply to indicate that all the
outputs are within the regulation limits of the power supply. When any output voltage falls below
regulation limits or when AC power has been removed for a time sufficiently long so that power
supply operation is no longer guaranteed, PWOK will be de-asserted to a LOW state. See Table
109 for a representation of the timing characteristics of PWOK. The start of the PWOK delay
time shall be inhibited as long as any power supply output is in current limit.

A recommended implementation of the Power Ok circuits is shown below.
Note: the Power Ok circuits should be compatible with 5V pull up resistor (>10k) and 3.3V pull
up resistor (>6.8k).
