Power dissipation is higher compared to normal operating conditions due to the elevated on-state reistance.
The temperature protection and sense functionality is not active during reverse current operation! Input and
Status currents have to be limited (see max. ratings page 4 and circuit page 10).

If ground resistors R

Functionality diagrams
All diagrams are shown for chip 1 (channel 1/2). For chip 2 (channel 3/4) the diagrams are valid too. The
channels 1 and 2, respectively 3 and 4, are symmetric and consequently the diagrams are valid for each
channel as well as for permuted channels

least by a factor of two by calibrating the value of
