Product Specification
IXD3235/36/37
CE/MODE Pin Function
The IXD3235/36/37 series enter the shut down mode, when a LOW logic-level signal applies to the CE/MODE pin.
In the shutdown mode, IC current consumption is ~0 μA (Typical value), with the Lx and VOUT pins at high
impedance state. The IC starts its operation when a HIGH logic-level signal applies to the CE/MODE pin.
Intermediate voltage, generated by external resistive divider can be used to select PWM/PFM auto or PWM only
switching modes in respect with the table below.

Examples of CE/MODE pin use are shown below. Please set the value of each resistor from few hundreds kΩ to
few hundred MΩ. For switches, CPU open-drain I/O port and transistor can be used.
The CE/MODE pin is a CMOS input with a sink current ~ 0 μA.

Soft Start
Soft start time is available in two options via product
selection.
The soft-start time of IXD3235/36/37 series is optimized by
using internal circuits and it is 1.0 ms (Typically.) for
A/C/D/E series and 0.25 ms for B/F/G series. D and F
series require external resistors and a capacitor to set the
output voltage, so the soft-start time might vary based on
value of those external components. The definition of the
soft-start time is the time when the output voltage goes up
to the 90% of nominal output voltage after the IC is enabled
by CE ”H” signal.
