Automotive switching regulators get input-transient-voltage protection
by Kevin Daugherty, National Semiconductor, Novi, MI; Edited by Charles H Small and Fran Granville, EDN, Jan 24 2008
Focus:
The addition of a simple input protection circuit stops transients up to 50 V, permitting use of high-frequency (3 MHz) switching regulators in automotive applications
What you’ll learn:
- How to protect general-purpose switching regulators against voltage transients in automotive applications
- How to shrink buck regulator designs in automotive applications
- How to protect a switching regulator against alternator load-dump in automotive applications
