FUNCTION
J1
EN
1-2*
Connects EN to V
IN
through a 510k
Ω
pullup resistor for standalone operation.
See the
Standalone Operation
section for more information.
2-3
Connects EN to V
IO
. The converter is enabled when both V
IN
and V
IO
are valid.
Not installed
Floats EN. Use for controlling EN from an external logic signal. The converter is
disabled if no external logic signal is connected to EN.
J2
V
IO
1-2*
Connects V
IO
to V
L
. Allow V
IO
to be powered from V
L
without the need for a
separate V
IO
supply. See the
Standalone Operation
section for more
information.
Not installed
Disconnects V
IO
from VL. V
IO
needs to be powered from either
MAXUSB_INTERFACE# or an external V
IO
supply.
