8.2.2.8 EN Pin Resistor Divider

A resistor divider on the EN pin can be used to increase the input voltage the converter begins its start-up sequence. 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 and this 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 10-kΩ resistor and this combined with the internal resistance in parallel, results in an equivalent bottom resistance of 9.98 kΩ. The top resistor value for the target start voltage is calculated with Equation 28. In this example, the nearest standard value of 20 kΩ is selected for REN_T. When selecting a start voltage in a wide input range application, be cautious that the EN pin absolute maximum voltage of 6 V is not exceeded.

The start and stop voltages with the selected EN resistor divider can be calculated with Equation 29 and Equation 30.
