PRODUCTION DATA
The EN pin provides means for on and off control of the device. After the EN pin voltage exceeds its threshold voltage, the device begins a start-up sequence. If the EN pin voltage is pulled below the threshold voltage, the regulator stops switching and enters a low operating current state. The EN pin has an internal pullup current source, IP, allowing the pin to be floated to enable the device by default. Ensure that leakage current of any circuitry connected to the EN pin does not exceed the minimum EN pullup current, otherwise the device can not be able to start. If an application requires digital control of the ENABLE function, an open-drain or open-collector output logic can be interfaced with the pin.
Alternatively, an external resistor divider can be added from VIN to the EN pin for adjustable UVLO as shown in Figure 7-1. The EN pin pullup hysteresis current, Ih, is used to control the voltage hysteresis for the UVLO function by increasing the pin sourcing current after the EN pin crosses the enable threshold. The UVLO thresholds can be calculated using Equation 1 and Equation 2. When using the adjustable UVLO function, 500 mV or greater hysteresis is recommended. For applications with very slow input voltage slew rate, a capacitor can be placed from the EN pin to ground to filter any noise on the input voltage.
