Take a look at the data sheet, it is publicly available.

PD_N is not a power supply input, so modelling it as a regulator makes no sense:

"If PD_N is LOW, then the device is in Deep power-down completely,
even if supply rail is ON; for the device to be able to operate, the
PD_N pin must be HIGH."
