LDO40L - max. input voltage on PIN ENAB without demage on worst case

[HGros.1]

LDO40L -> Enable PIN. Can I connect this pin directly to Uin to the Enabble-Pin or must I use a resistor (for example 10K for limiting Current input to the PIN Enab) to connct Enab to Uin for enable the chip?

[Peter BENSCH]

The datasheet of the LDO40L allows the voltage VEN at the enable pin voltage to be in the range of -0.3V...VIN (see page 5, abs max ratings).

So connecting EN to VIN is definitely allowed, no limiting resistor is necessary.

Good luck!

Thanks for your answer.

On Page 14/ figure 13

If there is an input voltage jump within 1µs, is the output voltage deviation really 2V?

Thnks an best Regards

Perhaps you are referring to page 14, fig. 30 instead of fig. 13?

Then the transient at 10->15V, 1µs, Cout=2.2µF and Iout=1mA can be as high 2V, as the datasheet says. That is a typical behavior with ultra low quiescent current LDOs at low output currents and can be influenced with external circuitry.
