8.3.9.3 Low-Side MOSFET Reverse Overcurrent Protection

The TPS5420x device implements low-side reverse-current protection by detecting the voltage across the low-side MOSFET. When the converter sinks current through its low-side FET, the control circuit turns off the low-side MOSFET if the reverse current is more than 1.7 A typical. By implementing this additional protection scheme, the converter is able to protect itself from excessive sink current during fault conditions.
