5.6 Enable Input

Enable (EN) input is used to enable or disable the device. When disabled, the MCP16367/8/9 device draws minimal current from the input supply. Upon enabling, the internal soft-start function manages the output voltage ramp-up, preventing excessive inrush current and output voltage overshoot. For automatic start-up when input voltage is applied, connect the EN pin directly to the input supply.
