The complete schematic of the surge protection solution is shown in Figure 3-1. This protection circuit is designed for a 19.2 V to 28.8 V supply voltage range and 2-A load current. A 28-V reverse standoff voltage TVS in SMC package is used to clamp the surge voltage. When a ±500 V, 2Ω surge pulse is applied, the input voltage clamps to a ±44 V maximum. The Internal FET experiences maximum stress during the negative surge event. Maximum voltage across the device is the sum of the input clamp voltage and the output voltage under no load conditions. The maximum device stress at nominal test input voltage is less than the transient absolute maximum rating of the device with the selected TVS.
