TPS40304 EN/SS driven actively options

HI,


I am dealing with a startup problem on a prototype board and am looking for some clarification.

The circuit set up is as below with

R1 = 0 ohm

R2= not populated

C1 = 3.3 nF

The problem is that by the time the UCD part is powered up and driving the EN/SS pin low with the GPIO (using an open drain output), the EN/SS pin has gone high and has its outputs enabled already.  When the GPIO becomes active it shuts down the already active TPS part creating problems downstream

If we populate

R1 = 1 kohm

R2 = 4.7 kohm

C1 = 1 uF

we would get similar RC response as the presently used 10 uA / 3.3nF config but would it create problems for the TPS calibration stage where the EN/SS pins get pulled/driven? to 1.3V


Other options?

thanks much

Bruce
