PRODUCTION DATA
A resistor divider on the EN pin can be used to increase the input voltage the converter begins the start-up sequence. To set the start voltage, first select the bottom resistor (REN_B). The recommended value is between 1kΩ and 100kΩ. There is an internal pulldown resistance with a nominal value of 1MΩ and this internal pulldown resistance must be included for the most accurate calculations. This requirement is especially important when the bottom resistor is a higher value, near 100kΩ. This example uses a 100kΩ resistor, and this resistor combined with the internal resistance in parallel results in an equivalent bottom resistance of 90.9kΩ. The top resistor value for the target start voltage is calculated with Equation 36. In this example, the nearest standard value of 200kΩ is selected for REN_T. When selecting a start voltage in a wide input range application, be cautious that the EN pin absolute maximum voltage of 7V is not exceeded.
The start and stop voltages with the selected EN resistor divider can be calculated with Equation 37 and Equation 38.
