PRODUCTION DATA
Inverse current occurs when 0 V < VVS < VOUT. In this case, current can flow from VOUT to VS. Inverse current cannot be caused by a purely resistive load. However, a capacitive or inductive load can cause inverse current. For example, if there is a significant amount of load capacitance and the VS node has a transient droop, VOUT can be greater than VS.
The TPS272C45 does not detect inverse current. When the switch is enabled, inverse current passes through the switch. When the switch is disabled, inverse current can pass through the MOSFET body diode. The device continues operating in the normal manner during an inverse current event.
