Enable pin

Pin EN can be used to remotely enable or disable power MOSFET driving. A voltage above

1.8 V enables the IC outputs which are otherwise inhibited.

By connecting the EN pin to Vcc through a resistor divider, the minimum Vcc voltage, at

which the IC starts driving power MOSFETs, can be precisely set. If the SR power

MOSFETs are logic level, the IC can start driving as soon as Vcc reaches the turn-on

threshold (4.5 V), but if the SR power MOSFETs are standard level, it is better to keep the IC

inhibited until the Vcc achieves the voltage necessary to properly drive the power MOSFETs

(i.e. 10 V).

The EN pin has an additional function which allows setting the SR power MOSFETs turn-off

threshold. It is set before the IC starts operating, when Vcc ramps up from 0 V to 4.5 V

(VccOn). During this time window, if the voltage on pin EN is below 0.36 V (typ.), the turn-off

threshold is set to -25 mV, if it is above VEN-Th, the threshold is set to -12.5 mV. This

function gives the possibility to change the turn-off threshold according to the SR power

be found in the SRK2000 datasheet.
