Product Number: ADP196
ADP196 does not block reverse current like ADP198, but is it ok for it to conduct current from VOUT to VIN during normal system operation?
The abs max table says drain current can be + or -, but also says VOUT must be less than or equal to VIN. Seems that VOUT would need to be greater than VIN for current to flow that way (maybe only by a few mV given the 10mohm on resistance).
What is the risk of the IC conducting small amounts of reverse current for long periods of time (hours for example) ?
Thanks,
Steve
