Reverse Polarity Protection
A dynamic voltage pulse from +12V to -20V is applied at the VBAT_1 input of the LM74610-SQEVM.
shows when the input voltage (yellow) drops down to -20V, the output voltage (blue) does not go
negative, and therefore, the load is protected from dynamic reverse pulses at the input. The LM74610-Q1
reacts the negative voltage surge within 2
μ
sec and shuts down the MOSFET by pulling the gate voltage to
zero (green). The output slowly decays due to the large output capacitors and increased time constant.
