PRODUCTION DATA
The EN pin provides electrical ON and OFF control of the device. When the EN pin voltage exceeds the enable threshold voltage, VEN_RISE, the TPS54538 begins operation. If the EN pin voltage is pulled below the disable threshold voltage, VEN_FALL, the converter stops switching and enters shutdown mode.
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, use an open-drain or open-collector or GPIO output logic to interface with the pin.
The TPS54538 implements 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 typical 200mV. If an application requires a higher UVLO threshold on the VIN pin, the EN pin can be configured as shown in Figure 6-6. 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 EN pin to enable when no external components are connected. The pullup hysteresis current, Ih, is used to control the hysteresis voltage for the UVLO function when the EN pin voltage crosses the enable threshold. Use Equation 4 and Equation 5 to calculate the values of R1 and R2 for a specified UVLO threshold. After R1 and R2 are settled down, VEN can be calculated by Equation 6, which must be lower than 5.5V with the maximum VIN.
