This application note presents design techniques which improve TOPSwitch power supply operation through most AC mains transient surge voltages. Properly designed transformers, PC boards, and EMI ...
Measuring 2 by 2 mm, the TClamp1202P is the smallest low-cap, high-surge, 12-V (VRWM) transient voltage protection array in its class, according to developer Semtech. With its 100 A (8x20-µs waveform) ...
The rate of transient occurrences varies with every power system. Recent studies show that surges of 1kV or less are common — whereas 3kV surges are rare. Protecting against more frequent (internally ...
