During maintenance of the car battery or jump start of the vehicle, the battery can be connected in reverse polarity during reinstallation. When the battery is connected with reversed polarity, the LM74700-Q1 remains turned off to protect the downstream circuits and components from damage. In Figure 7-2, output voltage remains protected when a reverse battery connection of -12 V is applied at its input.
