TPS2663: UVLO absolute minimum in reverse polarity condition

Part Number: TPS2663

The datasheet shows the UVLO min is -0.3V.

If the device is placed in a reverse polarity condition (e.g. Vin= -36V), does this pin require additional protection?

  • Hello Jarrod

    Welcome to TI E2E forum and thanks for considering TPS2663 for your application !

    In application where reverse polarity protection is required, connect minimum of 300k Ohm resistor betwen UVLO and IN_SYS pin. Please refer to device description section 9.3.3 for more details.

    Thanks & Regards

  • Abhijeet,

    Thank you for your reply.  Based on section 9.3.3 and the absolute max spec for the UVLO pin, I'll assume there's internal clamping diodes which the resistor is current limiting.  I just wanted to be sure, so thank you for confirming this.

    Best regards,

    Jarrod
