SLVSDV7C February 2018 – February 2020 TPS2HB16-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA.
Inverse current occurs when 0 V < VBB < VOUTx. In this case, current may flow from VOUTx to VBB. 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 VBB node has a transient droop, VOUTx may be greater than VBB.
The TPS2HB16-Q1 will not detect inverse current. When the switch is enabled, inverse current will pass through the switch. When the switch is disabled, inverse current may pass through the MOSFET body diode. The device will continue operating in the normal manner during an inverse current event.
