8.3.4 Enable/Sync

The voltage on the EN/SYNC pin controls the ON or OFF operation of LMR23630. A voltage less than 1 V (typical) shuts down the device while a voltage higher than 1.6 V (typical) is required to start the regulator. The EN/SYNC pin is an input and cannot be left open or floating. The simplest way to enable the operation of the LMR23630 is to connect the EN to VIN. This allows self-start-up of the LMR23630 when VIN is within the operation range.

Many applications can benefit from the employment of an enable divider RENT and RENB (Figure 8-4) to establish a precision system UVLO level for the converter. System UVLO can be used for supplies operating from utility power as well as battery power. It can be used for sequencing, ensuring reliable operation, or supply protection, such as a battery discharge level. An external logic signal can also be used to drive EN input for system sequencing and protection.

The EN pin also can be used to synchronize the internal oscillator to an external clock. The internal oscillator can be synchronized by AC-coupling a positive edge into the EN pin. The AC-coupled peak-to-peak voltage at the EN pin must exceed the SYNC amplitude threshold of 2.8 V (typical) to trip the internal synchronization pulse detector, and the minimum SYNC clock ON-time and OFF-time must be longer than 100 ns (typical). A 3.3-V or a higher amplitude pulse signal coupled through a 1-nF capacitor CSYNC is a good starting point. Keeping RENT // RENB (RENT parallel with RENB) in the 100 kΩ range is a good choice. RENT is required for this synchronization circuit, but RENB can be left unmounted if system UVLO is not needed. LMR23630 switching action can be synchronized to an external clock from 200 kHz to 2.2 MHz. Figure 8-6 and Figure 8-7 show the device synchronized to an external system clock.
