LM66100: LM66100 Reverse Current Blocking

Hi,

In my current design, I’m using three Li-SOCl₂ batteries connected in parallel. This battery pack does not tolerate reverse current. Initially, I used a Schottky diode for protection, but the voltage drop was too high (starting around 0.2 V and reaching up to 0.4 V depending on the current). Because of this, I began researching ideal diode controllers and came across the LM66100, which seems like a possible solution to this problem.

For simplicity, here’s a basic outline of the power input section:
Battery Pack → LM66100 → Super Capacitor → Boost/Buck Converter

However, I need some help understanding the LM66100 better:

1. When is the reverse-current blocking function activated? And how much current (if any) flows when it is active?

2. For reverse-current blocking, the CE pin needs to be connected to VOUT, correct? During current-blocking mode, is reverse-polarity protection also active?

3. In this mode, what is the expected voltage drop across the device?

4. If the LM66100 is not suitable for this application, could you suggest any alternative components?

Thank you!
