7.2.2.8 EN Pin Resistor Divider

A resistor divider on the EN pin can be used to increase the input voltage and the converter begins the start-up sequence. Increasing the input voltage the converter starts up at can be useful in high output voltage applications. The resistor divider can be selected so the converter starts switching after the input voltage is greater than the output voltage. If the output voltage comes up before the input voltage is sufficient, UVP can be tripped and cause the converter to latch off.

To set the start voltage, first select the bottom resistor (REN_B). The recommended value is between 1 kΩ and 100 kΩ. There is an internal pulldown resistance with a nominal value of 6 MΩ, which must be included for the most accurate calculations. This is especially important when the bottom resistor is a higher value, near 100 kΩ. This example uses a 100-kΩ resistor and this combined with the internal resistance in parallel results in an equivalent bottom resistance of 98.4 kΩ. The top resistor value for the target start voltage is calculated with Equation 29. In this example, the nearest standard value of 499 kΩ is selected for REN_T.

Equation 29. TPS54J061

The start and stop voltages with the selected EN resistor divider can be calculated with Equation 28 and Equation 31.
