The reverse current protection channel (i.e. GATE1) can be disabled by pulling the ONQ1 pin high. This places GATE1 in a known state (i.e. Vsense+5.5V). A pull-down resistor should be used at GATE1 to…
For light loads, the MAX5943A is designed to turn off Q1 and allow current to flow through the body diode, but Q1 can be kept ON even with a light load by driving the ONQ1 input high with an external control…
