SGLS303G May 2005 – December 2024 TPS732-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
The NMOS pass element of the TPS732-Q1 family of devices provides inherent protection against current flow from the output of the regulator to the input when the gate of the pass device is pulled low. To ensure that all charge is removed from the gate of the pass element, the enable pin must be driven low before the input voltage is removed. If this is not done, the pass element can be left on due to stored charge on the gate.
After the enable pin is driven low, no bias voltage is needed on any pin for reverse current blocking. Note that reverse current is specified as the current flowing out of the IN pin due to voltage applied on the OUT pin. There is additional current flowing into the OUT pin due to the 80-kΩ internal resistor divider to ground (see the Functional Block Diagram and Figure 7-3).
For the TPS73201-Q1, reverse current can flow when VFB is more than 1 V above VIN.
