PRODUCTION DATA
When loss of supply occurs, output is turned off regardless of whether the input is high or low. For a resistive or capacitive load, loss of supply protection is easy to achieve due to no more power. The worst case is a charged inductive load. In this case, the current is driven from all of the IOs to maintain the inductance output loop. TI recommends either the MCU serial resistor plus the GND network (diode and resistor in parallel) or external free-wheeling circuitry.
