2.9 Shutdown
The shutdown waveforms are shown in Figure 18 and Figure 19. The input voltage for these plots is 12 V
with a 1.4-Ω resistive load. The top trace shows V
IN
, the middle trace shows EN, and the bottom trace
shows V
OUT
. In Figure 18 the input voltage is removed, and when the input falls below the undervoltage
lockout threshold, the TPS54360 shuts down and the output falls to ground.
In Figure 19, the input voltage is held at 12 V, and EN is shorted to ground. When EN is grounded, the
TPS54360 is disabled, and the output voltage discharges to ground.

2.10 Low Dropout Operation
For improved low dropout operation, the TPS54360 includes a small integrated low-side MOSFET to pull
SW to GND when the BOOT to SW voltage drops below 2.1 V. This recharges the BOOT capacitor for
driving the high-side MOSFET. Figure 20 shows the steady state operation and Figure 21 shows the start
up and shutdown in a low dropout condition.
