Using the Evaluation Board
2. Chip Enable
EL7532 is a high efficiency 2A synchronous step-down
PWM regulator in a tiny MSOP10 package. The internal
compensation makes it possible for the full-featured 2A
converter to occupy less than 0.18in2 of PCB area with all
components on one side.
When EN pin is pulled to Ground, the regulator is disabled. It
consumes less than 1µA of current. R5 can be connected to
VIN directly if this function is not needed, reducing the
component counts.
1. Output Adjustment
When powering up, the open-collector Power-On-Reset
output holds low for 100ms after VO reaches the preset
voltage. When a reset signal RSI is issued, POR goes to low
for the same period of time while the output power is still on
(Please refer to the datasheet for the timing diagram). When
the function is not used, connect RSI to ground and leave R4
open, further reduce the total components counts and the
overall PCB area to less than 0.18in2.
3. RSI/POR Function
Use R1 and R2 to adjust output voltage according to the
following formula:
R 

V O = 0.8 ×  1 + ------2-
R 1

The evaluation board is set to VO = 1.8V.
The POR output also serves as a 100ms delayed Power
Good signal when the pull-up resister R4 is installed. The
RSI pin needs to be directly (or indirectly through R6)
connected to Ground for this to function properly.
