ADVANCE INFORMATION
Start-up and shutdown are controlled by the EN input. This input features precision thresholds, allowing the use of an external voltage divider to provide an adjustable input Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO). Applying a voltage greater than about 0.9V causes the device to enter standby mode, powering the internal VCC, but not producing an output voltage. Increasing the EN voltage to VEN_TH_R fully enables the device, allowing the device to enter start-up mode and begin the soft-start period. When the EN input is brought below VEN_TH_F, the regulator stops switching and enters standby mode. Further decrease in the EN voltage to below 0.9V completely shuts down the device, providing a shutdown current of less than 0.65μA (typical). The EN input can be connected directly to VIN if this feature is not needed. The enable must not float as floating the pin forces the device off. The values for the various EN thresholds can be found in the Electrical Characteristics table. Keep in mind that the internal VIN UVLO overrides the EN input. The device does not start up unless the input voltage is above VINUVLO(R). Conversely, the device shuts down when the input voltage falls bellow VINUVLO(F).
In some cases, an input UVLO level different than that provided internal to the device is needed. This feature can be used for special sequencing or to prevent input voltage oscillations caused by excessively long power cables. External UVLO can be accomplished by using the circuit shown in Figure 7-2. The input voltage at which the device turns on is designated as VON while the turn-off voltage is VOFF. The current in the divider must be greater than the current into the EN input (IEN_LKG) to preserve accuracy. Values for RENB between 10kΩ and 50kΩ are reasonable. Then, Equation 2 is used to calculate RENT and Equation 3 is used to calculate VOFF.
