10.3 BOOST5 - ENABLING & DISABLING
There are two methods of disabling the BOOST5 Converter: the Global Enable bit and the local ENABLE bit.
Table 26shows the interoperation of the two methods.

10.3.1
BOOST5 - INITIALIZATION AND DEVICE POWER-UP
During an IC re-
initialization or “cold boot” an internal POR disables the BOOST5 Converter and loads the default values
into the registers. The default values are only loaded into the registers when there is a POR event.
The default settings for the Output Voltage Register are:

Default Setting
Local Enable Bit
Disabled
Output Voltage
5.0V
The default settings for the Control Register are:

Default Setting
Current Limit
100%
Clock Frequency
1 MHz
After the POR releases, the Global Enable bit can be set to HIGH. Since the default value of the local ENABLE bit is
LOW, the supply will not start at this time.
To enable the BOOST5 converter,
the local ENABLE bit is set to HIGH by writing a “1” to the Output Voltage Register.
The Output Voltage value must be included each time the converter is enabled or disabled. The default value for the
converter is read and written back along with the ENABLE bit or a different voltage can be written. When the ENABLE bit
becomes set the BOOST5 Converter enters its soft-start sequence, ending up at the programmed voltage.
NOTE: Changes to the Output Voltage Register settings can be written directly without disabling the converter.
10.3.2
BOOST5 - Normal Disabling / Enabling
Setting either the Global Enable bit to LOW or the local ENABLE bit to LOW will turn off the BOOST5 Converter.
The Global Enable bits sole purpose is to shut down the converter into its lowest power shutdown mode. It is not
intended to be used to toggle the BOOST5 Converter off and on. Proper operation is only guaranteed by toggling the
ENABLE bit HIGH once the Global Enable bit is set HIGH to take it out of low power shutdown mode.
