PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS799-Q1 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, the device must not be operated in current limit for extended periods of time.
The PMOS pass transistor in the TPS799-Q1 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 can be appropriate.
