Tool/software:
Is it possible to drive logic 'H' (3.3V) to enable pin while input voltage is low? will it damage the LDO?

Hi Itai,
EN being HIGH while VIN is still low is not a concern in itself.
Since this part doesn't have a soft start feature, this approach can be useful to mitigate inrush current during startup. This is especially true if the VIN rail is slew-rate controlled (for example, if the upstream regulator that supplies it has soft start).
Thanks,
Sarah
