7.3.1 Internal Current Limit

The TPS7A80 internal current limit helps protect the regulator during fault conditions. During current limit, the output sources a fixed amount of current that is largely independent of output voltage. For reliable operation, do not operate these devices in a current limit state for extended periods of time.

The PMOS pass element in the TPS7A80 has a built-in body diode that conducts current when the voltage at OUT exceeds the voltage at IN. This current is not limited, so if extended reverse voltage operation is anticipated, external limiting is required.
