TPS2421-2 Maximum Reverse Current

Eric Hughes

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS2421-2

TPS2421-2 datasheet does not specify maximum reverse current (only reverse diode voltage) through MOSFET body diode. TI Support referred me to this forum; can anyone assist me?

Many thanks,

Hi Eric,

The body diode of internal MOSFET is not expected to support high current for long duration.
It should be able to handle <5A for short duration (<10 us) and small current (< 100mA) for long duration.

Best Regards,
Rakesh
