10.1 Transient Protection

In the case of a short circuit and overload current limit when the device interrupts current flow, the input inductance generates a positive voltage spike on the input, and the output inductance generates a negative voltage spike on the output. The peak amplitude of voltage spikes (transients) is dependent on the value of inductance in series to the input or output of the device. Such transients can exceed the absolute maximum ratings of the device if steps are not taken to address the issue. Typical methods for addressing transients include:

  • Minimize lead length and inductance into and out of the device.
  • Use a large PCB GND plane.
  • Use a Schottky diode across the output to absorb negative spikes.
  • Use a low value ceramic capacitor CIN = 0.001 μF to 0.1 μF to absorb the energy and dampen the transients. The approximate value of input capacitance can be estimated using Equation 28.
Equation 28. GUID-22D38A34-ACA9-4315-A033-5B8BFD6A4143-low.gif

where

  • VIN is the nominal supply voltage
  • ILOAD is the load current
  • LIN equals the effective inductance seen looking into the source
  • CIN is the capacitance present at the input

Some of the applications may require the addition of a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) to prevent transients from exceeding the absolute maximum ratings of the device. A typical circuit implementation with optional protection components (a ceramic capacitor, TVS and Schottky diode) is shown in Figure 10-1.
