ADVANCE INFORMATION for pre-production products; subject to change without notice.
Voltage on the EN pin controls the ON or OFF functionality of the LMR36506-Q1. The part stays in shutdown mode as long as the EN pin voltage is less than VEN-WAKE = 0.4 V. During the shutdown mode, the input current drawn by the device typically drops down to 1 µA. Applying a voltage at the EN pin greater than the VEN-WAKE causes the device to enter the standby mode, powering up the internal LDO to generate VCC. As the EN voltage further approaches VEN-VOUT, the device finally starts switching, allowing it to enter the start-up mode and begin the soft-start period. During the shutdown process, when the EN input is brought below VEN-VOUT by VEN-HYST, the regulator stops switching and re-enters the standby mode. Any further decrease in the EN pin voltage below VEN-WAKE finally shuts down the device. The EN input pin can be connected directly to VIN input pin if remote precision control is not needed. The EN input pin must not be allowed to float. The limits of various EN thresholds values listed here can be found in the Electrical Characteristics table.
