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 ...

Reference [1] describes a process for the design of lightning protection that transforms the transient experienced by the components during the lightning test transient into the reference transients ...

Many vendors of industrial bus transceivers showcase their device robustness with a high immunity to electrostatic discharge (ESD). In strong contrast to that, industrial system designers rank ESD as ...

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 ...

Every year, power quality personnel resolve to keep surges, sags, and transients from disrupting facility power supplies. This resolution has become even more important as companies invest in the ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...
