SOFT START
All inductive step-up converters exhibit high inrush current during start-up if no special precaution is made. This
can cause voltage drops at the input rail during start up and may result in an unwanted or early system shut
down.

ENABLE
Pulling the enable (EN) to ground shuts down the device reducing the shutdown current to 1
μA
(typical).
Because there is a conductive path from the input to the output through the inductor and Schottky diode, the
output voltage is equal to the input voltage during shutdown. The enable pin needs to be terminated and should
not be left floating. Using a small external transistor disconnects the input from the output during shutdown as
shown in
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
An undervoltage lockout prevents misoperation of the device at input voltages below typical 1.5 V. When the
input voltage is below the undervoltage threshold, the main switch is turned off.

Stresses beyond those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under recommended operating
conditions is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltage values are with respect to network ground terminal.
