What is the behavior and precautions when supplying voltage to the output pin when the power supply is not turned ON?
- The diode between the output and power supply pins is biased in the forward direction, and if current flows degradation or breakdown may occur. As a countermeasure, insert a resistor in series to limit the current flowing to the diode to less than 10mA. Also, be sure to conduct a thorough evaluation of the circuit.
