SNVSAJ2C March 2016 – June 2018 LMZ34202
PRODUCTION DATA.
The INH/UVLO pin provides on and off control of the device. The INH input provides a precise 2.1 V rising threshold to allow direct logic drive or connection to a voltage divider from a higher voltage source such as PVIN. Once the INH/UVLO pin voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, the device starts operation. The INH input also incorporates 300 mV (typ) of hysteresis resulting in a falling threshold of 1.8 V. If the INH/UVLO pin voltage is pulled below the threshold voltage, the regulator stops switching and enters low quiescent current state. The INH/UVLO pin cannot be open circuit or floating. The simplest way to enable the operation of the LMZ34202 is to connect the INH/UVLO pin to PVIN pin directly as shown in Figure 20. This connection allows the LMZ34202 device to restart when PVIN is again within the operation range.
If an application requires controlling the INH/UVLO pin, either drive it directly with a logic input or use an open drain and collector device to interface with the pin and place a 100-kΩ resistor between this pin and PVIN pin as shown in Figure 21. When turning Q1 on applies a low voltage to the inhibit control (INH/UVLO) pin and disables the output of the supply, shown in Figure 22. If Q1 is turned off, the supply executes a soft-start power-up sequence, as shown in Figure 23.
