Figure 2-11 and Figure 2-12 show the start-up waveforms for the TPS54A24EVM-058. In Figure 2-11, the output voltage ramps up as soon as the input voltage reaches the UVLO threshold. In Figure 2-12, the input voltage is initially applied and the output is inhibited by pulling EN to GND using an external function generator. When the EN voltage is increased above the enable-threshold voltage, the start-up sequence begins and the output voltage ramps up to the externally set value of 1.8 V. The input voltage for these plots is 12 V and the load is 1.8 Ω. Alternatively, a jumper at J3 to tie EN to GND can also be used. When the jumper is removed, EN is released and the start-up sequence begins.
