PRODUCTION DATA
For active low logic, a transistor can be used with the TPD3S014-Q1 EN Pin. Figure 9-2 shows how to implement Active low logic for EN pin.
Using an nFET transistor, when the Processor sends a low signal, the transistor is switched off, and VLOGIC pulls up EN through R1. When the Processor sends a “high” signal, the nFET is switched on and sinks current from the EN Pin and R1. For 5 V VLOGIC, with the appropriate on-resistance (RON) value in the nFET and resistance for R1, the VIL for EN can be met. For example, with a transistor with RON of 3 Ω, a pull-up resistor as low as 11 Ω provides a logic level of 0.7 V. For power-budgeting concerns, a better choice is R1 of 40 kΩ which provides 0.25 V for EN when the Processor asserts high, and 4.96 V when the Processor asserts low.
