3.9 Start-up and Shutdown with VIN

Figure 3-30

 and 

Figure 3-31

 show the start-up and shutdown waveforms for U2 with VIN. In 

Figure 3-30

, the VIN

voltage ramps up and output voltage ramps up after the input and EN pin voltages reach their respective UVLO
threshold. In 

Figure 3-31

, the VIN voltage ramps down and the TPS543620 shuts down when the input or EN

pin voltage reach their respective UVLO threshold. The rate at which VIN ramps down changes as soon as the
TPS543620 is disabled because it is no longer loading the input supply.
