PRODUCTION DATA
The device monitors V(IN_SYS) and V(OUT) to provide true reverse current blocking when a reverse condition or input power failure condition is detected. The reverse comparator turns OFF the external blocking FET Q1 quickly as soon as V(IN_SYS) – V(OUT) falls below –1 V. The total time taken to turn OFF the FET Q1 in this condition is tRCB(fast_dly) + t(Driver). Use Equation 4 to calculate the delay due to the driver stage t(Driver).
where
In a typical system design, t(Driver) is generally 10% to 20% of tRCB(fast_dly) of 120 ns (typical).
Figure 8-10 and Figure 8-11 illustrate the behavior of the system during input hot short-circuit condition. The blocking FET Q1 is turned ON within 1.6 ms (typical) after the differential forward voltage V(IN_SYS) – V(OUT) exceeds 67 mV (typical).
The reverse comparator architecture has a supply line noise immunity resulting in a robust performance in noisy environments. This event is achieved by controlling the turn-OFF time of the internal FET based on the over-drive differential voltage V(IN_SYS) – V(OUT) over V(REVTH). The higher the over-drive, the faster the turn-OFF time, tRCB(dly).
