This application note presents design techniques which improve TOPSwitch power supply operation through most AC mains transient surge voltages. Properly designed transformers, PC boards, and EMI ...

Measuring 2 by 2 mm, the TClamp1202P is the smallest low-cap, high-surge, 12-V (VRWM) transient voltage protection array in its class, according to developer Semtech. With its 100 A (8x20-µs waveform) ...

The rate of transient occurrences varies with every power system. Recent studies show that surges of 1kV or less are common — whereas 3kV surges are rare. Protecting against more frequent (internally ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...
