9.3.5 Reverse Current Protection

A fast reverse comparator controls the internal FET and turns off the FET whenever the output voltage V(OUT) exceeds the input voltage V(IN) by 10 mV (typical) for 1 μs (typical). This prevents damage to the devices on the input side of the TPS2594xx by preventing significant current from sinking into the input side. However, a reverse current of (V(OUT) - V(IN))/ RON) should flow from the output to the input to establish reverse voltage V(REVTH) of –10 mV across the device. The typical value of reverse current, needed for reverse voltage detection is –10 mV/ 42 mΩ = –238 mA

In power muxing applications, the reverse current magnitude I(REV) depends on the slew-rate of the output voltage V(OUT) and the system input capacitance CIN as shown in Equation 5.

Equation 5. TPS25942A TPS25942L TPS25944A TPS25944L slvsce9-equation-1.gif

For example, if the ramp rate of the output voltage is set at 10 mV/ μs then the required input capacitance CIN to achieve reverse current greater than 238 mA is 23.8 µF. Considering tolerance of ±10% in capacitance and a standard value, capacitor of 33 µF should be used as CIN in this case.
