Preset the power supply to 2.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 5.5V. 2. Connect the power supply terminals to: a. Positive (+): VIN b. Negative (-): GND 3. Connect the load terminals to: a. Positive (+): VOUT b. Negative (-): GND 4. After making connections, turn on the power supply. 5. To use the enable function, apply a digital input to the EN pin. Drive EN above 0.9V to turn the regulator on; drive EN below 0.65V to turn it off. 6. The external resistor divider sets the output voltage (VOUT). To adjust the MPQ2179’s output, set feedback resistor R5 to be between 10kΩ and 100kΩ. R6 can then be calculated with Equation (1): R6  R5 VOUT 1 0.6 (1) Table 1 lists the recommended resistor values for common output voltages.
