SNVSBD7A October 2019 – February 2020 LMR36510
PRODUCTION DATA.
Start-up and shutdown are controlled by the EN input. This input features precision thresholds, allowing the use of an external voltage divider to provide an adjustable input UVLO (see the External UVLO section). Applying a voltage of ≥ VEN-VCC_H causes the device to enter standby mode, powering the internal VCC, but not producing an output voltage. Increasing the EN voltage to VEN-H fully enables the device, allowing it to enter start-up mode and begin the soft-start period. When the EN input is brought below VEN-H by VEN-HYS, the regulator stops running and enters standby mode. If the EN voltage decreases below VEN-VCC-L, the device shuts down. Figure 5 shows this behavior. The EN input can be connected directly to VIN if this feature is not needed. This input must not be allowed to float. The values for the various EN thresholds can be found in the Electrical Characteristics table.
The LMR36510 utilizes a reference-based soft start that prevents output voltage overshoots and large inrush currents as the regulator is starting up.
