SNVSBZ3 June 2021 LM5168-Q1
ADVANCE INFORMATION
The LM516x-Q1 contains a dual-level EN/UVLO circuit. When the EN/UVLO voltage is below 1.1 V (typical), the converter is in a low-current Shutdown mode and the input quiescent current (IQ) is dropped down to 3 µA. When the voltage is greater than 1.1 V but less than 1.5 V (typical), the converter is in Standby mode. In Standby mode, the internal bias regulator is active while the control circuit is disabled. When the voltage exceeds the rising threshold of 1.5 V (typical), normal operation begins. Install a resistor divider from VIN to GND to set the minimum operating voltage of the regulator. Use Equation 12 and Equation 13 to calculate the input UVLO turn-on and turn-off voltages, respectively.
TI recommends selecting RUV1 in the range of 1 MΩ for most applications. A larger RUV1 consumes less DC current, which is mandatory if light-load efficiency is critical. If input UVLO is not required, the power-supply designer can either drive EN/UVLO as an enable input driven by a logic signal or connect it directly to VIN. If EN/UVLO is directly connected to VIN, the regulator begins switching as soon as the internal bias rails are active.
