ZHCS529I January 2007 – April 2025 LM25574
PRODUCTION DATA
A voltage divider can be connected to the SD pin to set a minimum operating voltage Vin(min) for the regulator. If this feature is required, the easiest approach to select the divider resistor values is to select a value for R1 (between 10 kΩ and 100 kΩ recommended) then calculate R2 from Equation 12:

Capacitor C2 provides filtering for the divider. The voltage at the SD pin must never exceed 8 V, when using an external set-point divider, clamping the SD pin at high input voltage conditions can be necessary. The reference design uses the full range of the LM25574 (6 V to 42 V); therefore these components can be omitted. With the SD pin open circuit, the LM25574 responds after the Vcc UVLO threshold is satisfied.
