ENABLE FEATURE
The ADP198 uses the EN pin to enable and disable the VOUT
pin under normal operating conditions. As shown in Figure 25,
when a rising V
EN
voltage crosses the active threshold, VOUT
turns on. When a falling V
EN
voltage crosses the inactive
threshold, VOUT turns off.

Figure 25. Typical EN Operation
As shown in Figure 25, the EN pin has hysteresis built in. This
prevents on/off oscillations that can occur due to noise on the
EN pin as it passes through the threshold points.
The EN pin active/inactive thresholds derive from the V
IN
voltage;
therefore, these thresholds vary with the changing input voltage.
Figure 26 shows the typical EN active/inactive thresholds when
the input voltage varies from 1.65 V to 6.5 V.
