Tool/software:
I do not think the question in the following forum thread was completely answered:
with regard to the request for the specifications for reverse current.
The datasheet specifies VOUTMAX as MIN(20, VIN + 0.3). Obviously, the body diode of the FET starts to conduct if VOUT exceeds VIN. What I would like to understand is how much current (reverse current) can the body diode sustain? In my use case there is a chance the end user could apply a voltage exceeding VIN to VOUT. It is necessary for me to understand how the device behaves in this situation. Specifically, the following situations could occur in my use case:
VIN = 5V and user applies VOUT = 12V
VIN = 0V (VIN supply is powered off) and user applies VOUT = 5V
VIN = 0V (VIN supply is powered off) and user applies VOUT = 12V
