PRODUCTION DATA
Because both CHG and LD are connected to PACK– terminal, these pins are specially designed to sustain an absolute max of –30 V. The device can be used in a wide variety of applications, and it is possible to expose the pins lower than –30-V absolute max rating.
To protect the pins, TI recommends to put a PMOS FET in series of the CHG pin, and a diode in series of the LD pin, as shown below.
