Hi,

Is reverse current blocked during off state?

Hi Kuramochi,

Yes, the device blocks reverse current in OFF state.

Rakesh-san,

Thank you for your answer.

I have an additional question.

The device can not block reverse current during on state?

Hi Kuramochi,

The device blocks even in ON state when CE/ pin connected to VOUT. Please refer "8.3.2 Always-ON Reverse Current Blocking (RCB)" section in the datasheet and let me know if you have further questions.

Best Regards,

Rakesh

Rakesh-san,

Thank you for your quick response. I understood.

In the case of RCB configuration, does the LM66100 turns off during normal condition?

Hi Kuramochi-san,

In the RCB configuration, the CE pin is connected to the output, and the device does not turn off during normal conditions (VIN =< VOUT). Once VOUT becomes higher than VIN, the device will turn off to block reverse current.

Does this answer your question?

Thanks,

Alek-san,

Thank you for your reply.

In the RCB configuration, can the device turn off at no load?

I'm considering the case that VCE-VIN is not satisfied with -80mV(min).

Hi Kuramochi-san,

If the device is configured for RCB and it has no load on the output, then it will not turn itself off. At first, VCE=VOUT will be lower than VIN and the device will turn on. At this point, VOUT must rise above VIN to turn off, and with no load the device will not measure VOUT>VIN.

Thanks,

Alek Kaknevicius
