6.3.6 Output Short to Battery

Figure 6-5 describes a situation where the TPS7B4260-Q1 is powered directly by the battery, and the output shorts to the battery. The TPS7B4260-Q1 survives this fault condition and no damage occurs to the device so long as the absolute maximum ratings are not voilated. Figure 6-6 describes a situation where the output shorts to the battery when the device is powered by a voltage source that is lower than VBAT. In this example, the TPS7B4260-Q1 supply input voltage is set at 7V when the tracker output shorts to the battery. The tracker output typically runs at 5V and the battery typically runs at 14V. The back-to-back PMOS transistor topology helps limit the continuous reverse current flowing through VIN to IREV, as provided in the Electrical Characteristics table.
