Hi Jimmy,

Please see section 9.3 Typical Application: Reverse Polarity Protection with TPS12110-Q1 in the TPS1211-Q1 datasheet on how to use external circuitry for input reverse polarity protection. This device has output reverse polarity protection down to –30V. This is also implemented in the TPS1211Q1EVM so you can refer to the user's guide to see the schematic.

Thanks,

Hi team,

Does this design can change to -48V input reverse?

Hi Jimmy,

Yes, you can use the input reverse polarity protection circuit for a 48V application.

D10/D11 are used as an ORing configuration to power the input supply; so, VOUT can be used to power VS if the other supply is not active.

Thanks,

Hi team,

What circuit is reverse polarity protection circuit for a 48V application.

D10 or below pic? What component value needs to change? thanks

Hi Jimmy,

The yellow box shows the input reverse polarity protection. Those components must be rated accordingly. Please see section 9.3 Typical Application: Reverse Polarity Protection with TPS12110-Q1 in the TPS1211-Q1 datasheet on how to use external circuitry for input reverse polarity protection. This is the same circuit that can be used for the TPS4811-Q1.

Thanks,

Hi team,

I checked the circuit in the datasheet. But no defined how to choose Rbias and D1,Q1.

Do you have any suggestions? thanks

Hi Jimmy,

In the TPS1211EVM, 10k is used as RBIAS for current limiting to the gate.

The N-MOSFET in the ground path protects the controller, and Zener diode is added for VGS protection of the ground path FET (12V typically - make sure to not exceed the FET ratings). The FET VGS should be rated for the max VS the device will see especially in a reverse polarity event.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Thanks,

Rishika Patel
