Hello,
I would like to use the LMZ21701SILT module in an application where 12V DC is the "typical" voltage (car battery supply and charge system) The nominal current from the module to the load would be 350-400mA, maximum current could peak occasionally to 750mA.
In this industrial system, surges can typically occur up to 20 or more volts due to the poor quality of the charging system. Fixing problems in that is not an option, so I am hoping to somehow protect the module from these surges. They are typically < 300 milliseconds.
Additionally, the input will be protected by a PTC.
With the maximum 17V DC input for the LMZ21701SILT, what's the best way to do this?
Thank you...
