5.6 Enable Input

Enable (EN) input is used to disable the device. If disabled, the MCP16367/8/9 device consumes a minimal amount of current from the input. When enabled, the internal soft start controls the output voltage rate of rise, preventing high-inrush current and output voltage overshoot. To achieve automatic turn-on as soon as enough voltage is present, connect the EN to the input.
