Many power systems are required to withstand short interruption in supply line or input micro-short and continue to function uninterrupted. In Figure 7-4, when the input micro-short is applied at the input, the LM74700-Q1 reacts quickly to turn off the MOSFET to block reverse current from flowing back into the shorted supply. Output remains ON during the input short as the output hold-up capacitors are isolated from input short and supply load current until the input recovers from micro-short. Note that after the MOSFET is turned off, input current rings due to the parasitic inductance in the supply path and does not contribute to reverse current.
