8.3.11.4 Reverse Current Protection

Method 1: block 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 impedance of the load limits the load reverse current. When reverse polarity happens, the continuous reverse current through the power FET must not make the heat build up be greater than the absolute maximum junction temperature. Calculate this using the RON(REV) value and the RθJA specification. In the reverse battery condition, the FET must come on to lower the power dissipation. Achieve this action through the path from EN to system ground where the positive voltage is being applied. No matter what types of connection are between the device GND and the board GND, if a GND voltage shift occurs, verify that the following proper connections for the normal operation:

  • Connect the current limit programmable resistor to the device GND.

  • Recommendation – resistor and diode in parallel: a peak negative spike can occur when the inductive load is switching off, which can damage the HSS or the diode. So, TI recommends a resistor in parallel with the diode when driving an inductive load. The recommended selection are a 4.7kΩ resistor in parallel with an IF > 100mA diode. If using multiple high-side switches, share the resistor and diode among devices. In this case, consider combining IGND of multiple high-side switches while determining the ground resistor and ground diode.
  • Ground Resistor: The higher resistor value contributes to a better current limit effect when the reverse battery or negative ISO pulses.
    Equation 12. R G N D ≥ - V C C - I G N D

    where

    • –VCC is the maximum reverse battery voltage (can come from ISO 7637 pulse 1).
    • –IGND is the maximum reverse current the ground pin can withstand, which is available in the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
  • Ground Diode: Use a diode to block the reverse voltage, which also brings a ground shift (≅600mV). Additionally, the diode must be ≅300V reverse voltage for the ISO 7637 pulse 1 testing so that the diode does not get biased.
