7.3 Power Supply Recommendations

The LM3488Q-Q1 is designed to operate from various DC power supply including a car battery. If so, VIN input must be protected from reversal voltage and voltage dump over 48 Volts. The impedance of the input supply rail must be low enough that the input current transient does not cause drop below VIN UVLO level. If the input supply is connected by using long wires, additional bulk capacitance can be required in addition to normal input capacitor.
