Figure 2-1 shows an example of power distribution box with two-channel outputs VOUT1 and VOUT2. Input power source can be from a battery or a DC-DC. A grouped input reverse battery protection scheme is implemented using LM74500-Q1 reverse polarity protection controller and an external MOSFET Q1.
The output of the LM74500-Q1 reverse battery protection stage is connected to the TPS12110-Q1 high side switch controllers. The TPS12110-Q1 ICs and the loads connected to the outputs gets protected from the input reverse battery condition by the LM74500-Q1 circuit. During input reverse battery condition the LM74500-Q1 controller pulls GATE to SOURCE and the MOSFET Q1 gets turned OFF disconnecting the input battery connection to the downstream TPS12110-Q1 ICs and the loads.
TPS12110-Q1 does not see reverse voltages and therefore does not need any special reverse protection techniques for this section of the system design.
