PRODUCTION DATA
The EN input supports adjustable input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) programmed by resistor values for application-specific power-up and power-down requirements. Also, an external logic signal can be used to drive the EN input to toggle the output ON or OFF and for system sequencing or protection.
The LM644x0-Q1 enters a low-IQ shutdown mode when EN is pulled below 0.4V. The internal LDO regulator powers off, shutting down the bias currents of the LM644x0-Q1. When the EN voltage is between the hard shutdown and the precision enable thresholds, the LM644x0-Q1 operates in standby mode with the VCC voltage in regulation. After the voltage at EN is above VEN-TH, the converter begins to switch normally, provided the input voltage drives the internal VCC above the rising UVLO threshold of 3.6V (typical).
The EN pin cannot be left floating. The simplest way to enable operation is to connect the EN pin to VIN, allowing self-start-up of the LM644x0-Q1. However, many applications benefit from the use of a divider network from VIN to EN as shown in Figure 7-1, which establishes a precision input voltage UVLO. This can be used for sequencing, to prevent re-triggering of the device when used with long input cables, or to reduce the occurrence of deep discharge of a battery power source. Note that the precision enable threshold, VEN-TH, has a 28% hysteresis to prevent ON/OFF re-triggering. An external logic output of another IC can also be used to drive EN, allowing system power sequencing.
Calculate the resistor divider values using Equation 2. See Input Voltage UVLO for additional information.
