PROGRAMMABLE UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
(UVLO)
The ADP7105 uses the EN/UVLO pin to enable and disable the
VOUT pin under normal operating conditions. As shown in
Figure 65, when a rising voltage on EN/UVLO crosses the upper
threshold, VOUT turns on. When a falling voltage on EN/UVLO
crosses the lower threshold, VOUT turns off. The hysteresis of
the EN/UVLO threshold is determined by the Thevenin
equivalent resistance in series with the EN/UVLO pin.

Figure 65. Typical VOUT Response to EN/UVLO Pin Operation
The upper and lower thresholds are user programmable and can
be set using two resistors. When the EN/UVLO pin voltage is
below 1.23 V, the LDO is disabled. When the EN/UVLO pin
voltage transitions above 1.23 V, the LDO is enabled and 10 µA
hysteresis current is sourced out of the pin, raising the voltage
and thus providing threshold hysteresis. Typically, two external
resistors program the minimum operational voltage for the
LDO. The resistance values, R1 and R2, can be determined from
the following:
R1 = VHYS/10 μA
R2 = 1.23 V × R1/(VIN − 1.23 V)
where:
VHYS is the desired EN/UVLO hysteresis level.
VIN is the desired turn-on voltage.
Hysteresis can also be achieved by connecting a resistor in series
with the EN/UVLO pin. For the example shown in Figure 66,
the enable threshold is 2.46 V with a hysteresis of 1 V.

Figure 65 shows the typical hysteresis of the EN/UVLO pin.
This prevents on/off oscillations that can occur due to noise
on the EN/UVLO pin as it passes through the threshold points.
SOFT START FUNCTION
For applications that require a controlled startup, the ADP7105
provides a programmable soft start function. Programmable
soft start is useful for reducing inrush current upon startup and
for providing voltage sequencing. To implement soft start, connect
a small ceramic capacitor from SS to GND. Upon startup, a
1 µA current source charges this capacitor. The ADP7105
start-up output voltage is limited by the voltage at SS, providing
a smooth ramp-up to the nominal output voltage. The soft start
time is calculated by
tSS = VREF × (CSS/ISS)
where:
tSS is the soft start delay.
VREF is the 1.22 V reference voltage.
CSS is the soft start capacitance between SS and GND.
ISS is the current sourced from SS (1 µA).
When the ADP7105 is disabled (by driving EN low), the soft
start capacitor is discharged to GND through an internal 5 kΩ
resistor.
