LM5060-Q1: Use of LM5060 to drive bi-directional back to back MOSFET switch

Hi,

I am working on design of MOSFET based bi-directional series switch (back to back MOSFETs). I am planning to use LM5060 to drive back to back MOSFETs. As per my understanding of VDS fault sensing (SENSE>OUT), when current flow from SENSE to OUT pin--->VDS fault condition will satisfy and protection works as intended but when current flow from OUT to SENSE pin (OUT>SENSE) --> VDS will trigger fault condition.

Is LM5060 intended to use for bi-directional series switch where current flow in both direction? i.e. Charging(OUT to IN) and discharging (IN to OUT). If yes, please suggest how to use VDS protection for both direction?

If no, please suggest driver with similar voltage level for bi-directional MOSFETs switch and for more than 100V as well.

Thanks in advance.
