TPS2041B: TPS2041BD Enable pin requirement

Part Number: TPS2041B

Hi,

Do we need external pull up resistor for TPS2041B enable pin.

Kindly confirm.

  • Hi Sir,

    It's suggested to add the pull up resistor.

    For TI's policy, I will first click resolved button.

    If you have any other concern, contact me any time.

    If you think resolved, please help click 'Issue is solved button'.

    Thanks.

  • Hi,

    In one our existing application, our team designed without pullup resistor and EN pin directly connected to NPN transistor collector.

    When transistor On the Enable pin will be 0V through transistor emitter. 

    But the circuit seems working without pullup resistor.

    Kindly explain this configuration

  • Hi Sir,

    The purpose of pull up resistor is used to resist some interference such as IEC ESD to limit the transient current.

    Make the part more robust.

    It also can work without the pull up resistor only if being above the opening threshold.
