TPS24751: TPS24751 reverse current blocking

Part Number: TPS24751
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS24750

Hi Team,

Just one quick question, I thought TPS24750/51 is already reverse current blocking load switch, am I correct? 

If yes, why we have example as below in the datasheet?

Thanks for clarify!

Andrew

  • Hi Andrew,

    TPS24750/1 does not provide reverse current blocking due to the body diode of the internal MOSFET (shown below). Can you share your requirements to suggest appropriate solution.

    What is the target application use case?

    Best Regards,

    Rakesh

  • Hi Andrew,

    TPS24750/51 do not have the reverse blocking FET integrated into it. You can see the Functional block diagram in the datasheet.

    Also, please note that even with external reverse current blocking FET, the reverse current is blocked only when the device is disabled.

    This is because TPS24750/51 doesn't have any control logic to detect reverse current and turn OFF the FET's. The external blocking FET is connected to the GATE pin which is same GATE signal given to the internal FET.  

  • Thanks for the detail explain, have a nice day!!
