The VL regulator is not controlled by EN. It is powered
from the higher of USB or DC and automatically powers
up when either of the power inputs exceeds approxi-
mately 1.5V. Similarly, VL automatically powers down
when both the USB and DC power inputs are removed.
Soft-Start/Inrush Current
The MAX8671X implements soft-start on many levels to
control inrush current, to avoid collapsing supply volt-
ages, and to fully comply with the USB 2.0 specifica-
tions. All USB, DC, and charging functions implement
soft-start. The USB and DC nodes only require 4.7µF of
input capacitance. Furthermore, all regulators imple-
ment soft-start to avoid transient overload of power
inputs (Figure 12).
