7.2.2.4 Reverse Current

Excessive reverse current potentially damages this device. Reverse current flows through the intrinsic body diode of the PMOS pass transistor instead of the normal conducting channel. At high magnitudes, this current flow degrades the long-term reliability of the device.

Conditions where reverse current occur are outlined in this section, all of which exceed the absolute maximum rating of VOUT ≤ VIN + 0.3V. These conditions are:

  • If the device has a large COUT and the input supply collapses with little or no load current
  • The output is biased when the input supply is not established
  • The output is biased above the input supply

If reverse current flow is expected in the application, use external protection to protect the device. Reverse current is not limited in the device, so external limiting is required if extended reverse voltage operation is anticipated. Limit reverse current to 5% or less of the rated output current of the device in the event this current cannot be avoided.

Figure 7-3 shows one approach for protecting the device.
