SLVSFD0 September 2019 LM74202-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
To protect the electronic systems from reverse battery voltage due to miswiring, often a power component like a schottky diode is added in series with the supply line as shown in Figure 25. These additional discretes result in a lossy and bulky protection solution. The LM74202-Q1 devices feature fully integrated reverse input supply protection and does not need an additional diode. These devices can withstand a reverse voltage of –40 V without damage. Figure 26 illustrates the reverse input polarity protection functionality.
