8.2.2.2 Calculating the Surge Resistor RS

The device requires a surge resistor or resistors in series with the AC+ and or AC– pins, depending configuration; see the Full-Bridge (FB) and Half-Bridge (HB) Configurations section for details. The purpose of the surge resistor is to limit the hot-plug AC current into the AC+ and AC– pins when the AC supply voltage is applied. Equation 10 calculates the value of the minimum surge resistor RS (MIN) required for the application.

Equation 10. RS (MIN) = VAC (PEAK) / I Surge (MAX)

where

  • VAC (PEAK) is the peak VAC supply voltage for the application
  • ISurge (MAX) is the maximum VAC current into or out of out the AC+ or AC– pins for a duration of ≤100 µs, as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table.

If the solution requires the use of a transient voltage surge suppressor (TVS) or a metal-oxide varistor (MOV), then use the maximum clamping voltage of the TVS or MOV instead of the peak VAC voltage in Equation 10. After calculating RS(MIN), select the next-higher standard resistor value.
