TPS2552-1: Negative power supply connect to the input

Part Number: TPS2552-1

Tool/software:

Sir

According to page one of the datasheet, the typical application of TPS2552-1 is USB power delivery with reverse voltage protection.

Our evaluation recently is the reverse input polarity protection.

We would like to understand whether it does matter if the input of TPS2552-1 is connected to the negative power supply.

Is TPS2552-1 suitable for the application of input polarity protection?

Or any alternative could advise us in your expert opinion.

Any comment is welcome.

Thanks

Regards

Ben

  • Hi Ben,

    In this case, reverse voltage protection refers to cases where VOUT > VIN.  I do not expect any of our USB power switches will protect against an inverted supply input.  For input polarity protection, I suggest looking at a separate circuit such as an ideal diode/ideal diode controller.
