8.3.5 Enable and UVLO

The LM73605-Q1/6-Q1 output voltage when the VCC voltage is higher than the undervoltage lock out (UVLO) level, VCC_UVLO, and the EN voltage is higher than VEN_VOUT_H.

The internal LDO output voltage VCC is turned on when the EN voltage is higher than VEN_VCC_H. The precision enable circuitry is also turned on when VCC is above UVLO. Normal operation of the LM73605-Q1/6-Q1 with regulated output voltage is enabled when the EN voltage is greater than VEN_VOUT_H. When the EN voltage is less than VEN_VCC_L, the device is in shutdown mode. The internal dividers make sure VEN_VOUT_H is always higher than VEN_VCC_H.

The EN pin cannot be left floating. The simplest way to enable the operation of the LM73605-Q1/6-Q1 is to connect the EN pin to PVIN, which allows self-start-up of the LM73605-Q1/6-Q1 when VIN rises. Use of a pullup resistor between PVIN and EN pins helps reduce noise coupling from PVIN pin to the EN pin.

Many applications benefit from employing an enable divider to establish a customized system UVLO. This can be used either for sequencing, system timing requirement, or to reduce the occurrence of deep discharge of a battery power source. Figure 8-5 shows how to use a resistor divider to set a system UVLO level. An external logic output can also be used to drive the EN pin for system sequencing.

With a selected RENT, the RENB can be calculated by:

where

  • VIN_ON_H is the desired supply voltage threshold to turn on this device

Note that the divider adds to supply quiescent current by VIN / (RENT + RENB). Small RENT and RENB values add more quiescent current loss. However, large divider values make the node more sensitive to noise. RENT in the hundreds of kΩ range is a good starting point.
