Will the IC be damaged if the input and output is shorted externally?
- When the input and output (Vo) pins are shorted, the output transistor of the linear regulator turns OFF and VCC (Vin) is shorted to the load and feedback resistance, preventing damage from occurring to the IC. In that case, take care since the device load will be shorted directly to VCC (Vin).
