Reverse voltage protection for GMR V1.1 Board

Hi,

Is there any reverse voltage protection built into GMR V1.1 board?

I had an issue with the power management system and I think it reversed the polarity to board power inputs. I see that SX3478 blew off immediately. Do you think other power management ICs (LM2596s) would also be affected?

Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome! 
I only found these three IC about power regulator, but didn't find the SX3478 you mentioned, could you indicate me that with a picture?

CX1117-33
LM2596S-ADJ
GS2678

And according to the schematic, it seems there is no reverse voltage protection.

Thanks for your answer. I could see those three PMICs on the schematic. And I also agree with you that there is no reverse voltage protection.

GS2678 and SX3478 are pin-to-pin compatible ICs. In the GMR board I have, they have added SX3478 instead of GS2678. Please see the attached image.
