PRODUCTION DATA
Method 1: Blocking diode connected with VBB. Both the device and load are protected when in reverse polarity. The blocking diode does not allow any of the current to flow during reverse battery condition.
Method 2 (GND network protection): Only the high-side device is protected under this connection. The load reverse loop is limited by the load itself. Note when reverse polarity happens, the continuous reverse current through the power FET should be less than Irev. Of the three types of ground pin networks, TI strongly recommends type 3 (the resistor and diode in parallel). No matter what types of connection are between the device GND and the board GND, if a GND voltage shift happens, ensure the following proper connections for the normal operation:
where
If multiple high-side power switches are used, the resistor can be shared among devices.
