For example, The device is protected against both reverse input and load regulation for an output current change of 1mA to reverse output voltages. In battery backup applications 100mA is –1mV typical at VOUT = 1.22V. At VOUT = 12V, where the output can be held up by a backup battery when load regulation is: the input is pulled to ground, the LT3023 acts like it has a diode in series with its output and prevents reverse current (12V/1.22V)(–1mV) = – 9.8mV fl ow. Additionally, in dual supply applications where the regulator load isreturned to a negative supply, the output
