PRODUCTION DATA
VIN, VBIAS, and VEN can be sequenced in any order without causing damage to the device. However, for the soft-start function to work as intended, certain sequencing rules must be applied. Connecting EN to IN is acceptable for most applications, as long as VIN is greater than 1.1 V and the ramp rate of VIN and VBIAS is faster than the set soft-start ramp rate.
There are several different start-up responses that are possible, but not typical:
Figure 6-3 shows the use of an RC-delay circuit to hold off VEN until VBIAS has ramped. This technique can also be used to drive EN from VIN. An external control signal can also be used to enable the device after VIN and VBIAS are present.
