7.2.2.8 Input Short Protection

If the input is shorted to ground during a fault condition, protection diodes provide measures to prevent the possibility of external capacitors discharging through low-impedance paths in the device. By providing low-impedance discharge paths for C3 and C2, respectively, a protection diode across the input to the output and a protection diode across ADJ to the output prevent the capacitors from discharging into the output of the regulator.
