PRODUCTION DATA
Reverse-polarity, commonly referred to as reverse battery, occurs when the ground of the device goes to the battery potential, VGND = VBAT, and the supply pin goes to ground, VBB = 0V. In this case, if the EN2 pin has a path to the ground plane, then the FET turns on to lower the power dissipation through the main channel and prevent current flow through the body diode. The resistor/diode ground network (if there is not a central blocking diode on the supply) is required for the device to protect itself during a reverse battery event.
