POWER_PATH_EN (pin 20)
The POWER_PATH_EN pin (pin 20) shall be connected to the gate of an NMOS source follower pair that implement a level shifter and buffer (Q6,Q7, R34 and R35) . The pull up resistors of the follower shall be connected the LDO_3V3 pin (pin 1) as shown in Figure 8-24.
This circuit is a non-inverting buffer that will create a 3.3V signal that is driven to 3.3V when the power switch selected needs to be driven to ground to be enabled, then an inverting circuit can be implemented by removiung Q7 and R35. This implements and inverting level shifter that will be driven to ground when the switch is to be enabled.
