6.3.3 Enable Pin and Shutdown

The enable pin (EN) is active high and is compatible with standard TTL-CMOS levels. A VEN below 0.5V (maximum) turns the regulator off and drops the GND pin current to approximately 10nA. When EN is used to shutdown the regulator, all charge is removed from the pass transistor gate. A VEN above 1.7V (minimum) turns the regulator on and the output ramps back up to a regulated VOUT (see Figure 5-39).

When shutdown capability is not required, connect EN to VIN. However, the gate of the pass transistor potentially cannot be discharged using this configuration. Thus, the pass transistor is potentially left on (enhanced) for a significant time after removing VIN. This scenario results in reverse current flow (if the IN pin is low impedance) and faster ramp times at power-up. In addition, for VIN ramp times slower than a few milliseconds, the output potentially overshoots at power-up.
