11.1 Transient Protection

In case of short circuit and over load current limit, when the device interrupts current flow, input inductance generates a positive voltage spike on the input and output inductance generates a negative voltage spike on the output. The peak amplitude of voltage spikes (transients) is dependent on value of inductance in series to the input or output of the device. Such transients can exceed the Abolsute Maximum Ratings of the device if steps are not taken to address the issue.

Typical methods for addressing transients include

  • Minimizing lead length and inductance into and out of the device
  • Using large PCB GND plane
  • Schottky diode across the output to absorb negative spikes
  • A low value ceramic capacitor (C(IN) to approximately 0.1 μF) to absorb the energy and dampen the transients.

The approximate value of input capacitance can be estimated with Equation 24.

Equation 24. GUID-20200603-SS0I-20DX-LBK9-6VDJMVKX8HRB-low.gif

where

  • V(IN) is the nominal supply voltage
  • I(LOAD) is the load current
  • L(IN) equals the effective inductance seen looking into the source
  • C(IN) is the capacitance present at the input

Some applications may require additional Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) to prevent transients from exceeding the Abolsute Maximum Ratings of the device. These transients can occur during positive and negative surge tests on the supply lines. In such applications it is recommended to place atleast 1 μF of input capacitor to limit the falling slew rate of the input voltage within a maximum of 15 V/μs.

The circuit implementation with optional protection components (a ceramic capacitor, TVS and schottky diode) is shown in Figure 11-1.
