8.3.5 Precision Enable

The precision EN/UVLO input supports adjustable input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with hysteresis for application specific power-up and power-down requirements. EN/UVLO connects to a comparator with a 1.5-V reference voltage and 50-mV hysteresis. An external logic signal can be used to drive the EN/UVLO input to toggle the output on and off for system sequencing or protection. The simplest way to enable the LM5181 is to connect EN/UVLO directly to VIN. This allows the LM5181 to start up when VIN is within its valid operating range. However, many applications benefit from using a resistor divider RUV1 and RUV2 as shown in Figure 8-3 to establish a precision UVLO level.

Use Equation 10 and Equation 11 to calculate the input UVLO voltages turnon and turnoff voltages, respectively.

Equation 10. GUID-797FB31F-AE01-45E7-A396-ECF707C927E0-low.gif

where

  • VUV-RISING and VUV-FALLING are the UVLO comparator thresholds
  • IUV-HYST is the hysteresis current
Equation 11. GUID-9EB680FB-F391-4472-857A-B199150A2194-low.gif

where

  • VUV-RISING and VUV-FALLING are the UVLO comparator thresholds
  • IUV-HYST is the hysteresis current

The LM5181 also provides a low-IQ shutdown mode when the EN/UVLO voltage is pulled below a base-emitter voltage drop (approximately 0.6 V at room temperature). If the EN/UVLO voltage is below this hard shutdown threshold, the internal LDO regulator powers off, and the internal bias-supply rail collapses, shutting down the bias currents of the LM5181. The LM5181 operates in standby mode when the EN/UVLO voltage is between the hard shutdown and precision-enable thresholds.
