The MIL-STD-1275E reference design is a two-stage clamping system capable of handling the reverse input, spiking, and surging event while protecting systems up to 120 W (28 V at 4.3 A). The two-stage clamping approach allows for better thermal distribution, meaning that the selected MOSFETs can be smaller and reduce the overall solution size compared to a single-stage clamping solution.
