Re: Why not integrate Jaguars with Diodes?
It would be best if TI could add the reverse polarity protection in the Jaguar.

Adding protection devices externally is a distant second best since it is still possible to connect the wires from the protection circuit to the terminals of the Jaguar incorrectly.

It will always be necessary to check your wiring thoroughly. Even if the polaritiy is correct, the wire could be connected to the wrong point giving incorrect operation.
