JAJS343L January 2005 – February 2022 TPS799
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS799 internal current limit helps protect the regulator during fault conditions. In current limit mode, the output sources a fixed amount of current that is largely independent of the output voltage. For reliable operation, do not operate the device in a current-limit state for extended periods of time.
The PMOS pass element in the TPS799 has a built-in body diode that conducts current when the voltage at OUT exceeds the voltage at IN. This current is not limited; therefore, if extended reverse voltage operation is anticipated, external limiting may be required.
