How do you read the 'enable' pin wiring for this regulator?
It requires a high signal to enable the chip, but I am not sure what it classes as a high signal?
It says minimum 2v, but has no maximum stated?
From that I deduce I can stick 24v straight on that enable pin.... (Look at page 17)

Thanks
@baffled2023 , is this a continuation of the another discussion?
No. New project.
I have a small tester I designed that runs on a 5v battery LiPo pack.
It now needs to run on 24v DC, and I was looking for a suitable Regulator
Look at page 7 table 2
I agree, it even says on that page " Applying a “high” level as specified below (for example battery voltage) to the EN pin enables the device."
Thanks Jim 
Missed that
WHY isn't that on the page about the enable signal. Sometime I swear they make these datasheets complicated just to annoy you.
I was just checking before I made smoke with the one regulator I have
It's actually correct to state it that way.
For the actual voltage you can apply it goes from 0 to 40V but of course anything below 2V will not enable the device, so there is a separate specification for that.
I interpret "HIGH" as a logic high, not a specific voltage. The 2V lets you know you it will work with most logic devices but not all.
