Hi, I was looking at a schematic that uses the STMPS2161, and the FAULT pin is pulled up to VIN (open drain), still, it isn’t being read. Is it necessary to pull up this pin if it’ll not used or can it be left floating?

Welcome, to the community! The FAULT pin of the STMPS2161 is only used to signal an error. However, you can simply leave it open and unconnected, If you don't query it anyway and therefore do without this signaling. Does it answer your question? Regards Ashish
