What happens when VDD is not powered and voltage is injected into the VOUT pin?

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: MAX40200

Is there isolation between VIN and VOUT on power off?

  • Hi,
    this is a good question. As for the enable pin it is clearly stated, that it blocks both ways.
    But as there is a strange symbol regarding bulk diode, all this internal circuitry will not work.
    I would guess that esd protection diode from Vout to Vdd will conduct, effectively powering the device.
    But how it behaves in this mode, remains unknown to me.
