LMC7215: Reverse bias

Part Number: LMC7215

Is it okay to reverse bias the device LMC7215IM5/NOPB?

Can the device withstand -3V supply?

  • Hello Krishnamoorthi,

    No. Assuming a single supply system (GND and positive V+). Generally the maximum reverse voltage is -0.3V.

    At -3V it will turn into an expensive forward biased diode, and, depending on the available peak reverse current and duration, can cause damage or destruction.

    Is this during a power on/off transient?
