7.3.3 Precision Enable (EN1, EN2)
The LM25137 has a precision enable circuit on each EN input. When the EN1 or EN2 voltage is greater than 1V, switching is enabled on the respective channel. If EN1 and EN2 are pulled below 0.5V, the LM25137 is in shutdown with an IQ of 3.6μA (typical) current consumption from VIN. When the EN1 or EN2 voltage is between 0.6V and 1V, the LM25137 is in standby mode with the VCC regulator active but the controller is not switching. The input quiescent current in standby mode is 260μA typical.
Enable the LM25137 with a EN1/2 voltage greater than 1V. However, many applications benefit from using a resistor divider RUV1 and RUV2, as shown in Figure 7-2, to establish a precision UVLO level. Add RUV3 in series to provide additional voltage hysteresis. Avoid leaving the EN1 and EN2 pins floating. Keep the EN1/2 voltage under 42V.
Use Equation 1 to calculate the UVLO resistors, where VIN(on) and VIN(off) are the required input voltage turn-on and turn-off thresholds.
