Pulldown resistors on EN pins are needed in some situations. When the UCD90xxx device is in reset or in initialization, GPIO pins are in high-impedance state (FPWM pins are in drive-low state). If the EN pin of the POL controller has internal pullup, the EN pins of the UCD90xxx (GPIO pins in Hi-Z state) are unable to keep the POL converters off. If this is the case, pulldown resistors are needed to keep EN pins low when UCD90xxx is in reset or initialization.
