6.3.5 Enable and Adjusting Undervoltage Lockout

The EN pin provides electrical on and off control of the device. When the EN pin voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, the device begins operating. If the EN pin voltage is pulled below the threshold voltage, the regulator stops switching and enters the standby operation.

The EN pin has an internal pullup current source which allows the user to float the EN pin to enable the device. If an application requires control of the EN pin, open-drain or open-collector output logic can be used to interface with the pin.

The TPS56837H and TPS56837HA implement internal undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuitry on the VIN pin. The device is disabled when the VIN pin voltage falls below the internal VIN UVLO threshold. The internal VIN UVLO threshold has a hysteresis of 500mV.

If an application requires a higher UVLO threshold on the VIN pin, then the EN pin can be configured as shown in Figure 6-2. When using the external UVLO function, TI recommends setting the hysteresis at a value greater than 500mV.

The EN pin has a small pullup current, Ip, which sets the default state of the pin to enable when no external components are connected. The pullup current is also used to control the voltage hysteresis for the UVLO function because the pullup current increases by Ih when the EN pin crosses the enable threshold. Use Equation 3, and Equation 4 to calculate the values of R1 and R2 for a specified UVLO threshold. After R1, R2 settle down, the VEN voltage can be calculated by Equation 5, which must be lower than 5.5V with maximum VEN.

Where

  • Ip = 1µA
  • Ih = 3µA
  • VENfalling = 1.07V
  • VENrising = 1.18V
