Tool/software:
We inadvertently connected the output of a TPS82130 (set for a nominal output voltage of 3.6V) to a 5V supply rail so the 3.6V supply rail was sitting at approx. 4.8V. We removed the short circuit and the TPS82130 appears to be functioning correctly. The question is will this have stressed the device and left if prone to premature failure or will it have survived unharmed?
The TPS82130 datasheet says Vout max = 6V and Iout max = 3A but does not say how much current the output can safely sink. Is there a limit for how much current the device can safely sink?
