Functional Features

• Enable (EN): This pin is used to enable or disable the voltage regulator. When EN is high, the regulator is enabled and provides a regulated output voltage. When EN is low, the regulator is disabled, and the output voltage is disconnected.
• Feedback (FB): The FB pin is connected to an external resistor divider network to set the desired output voltage. By adjusting the values of the resistors, the output voltage can be precisely controlled.
• Output (OUT): These pins provide the regulated output voltage to the connected electronic components. Multiple output pins are available to distribute power efficiently.
