Suppressed load dump testing was done with a 35 V max transient pulse. The load dump transient is shown in the yellow trace in Figure 3-7.
Over-voltage protection is triggered by the LM74810 device when input is higher than the 18.2 V threshold that is set. The blue trace shows the output voltage where it decreases as the HGATE driven MOSFETs is turned off to protect any components downstream from the high voltage at the input. Once the high voltage transient ends, the MOSFETs will turn on again as shown in Figure 3-7. Load dump test demonstrates the inrush limiting feature by the LM74810 device as the inrush current is limited to roughly to 15A. The green trace is the output current delivered to e-load.
