LM117HVQML-SP: Transients Above Rated 60V

Part Number: LM117HVQML-SP

Tool/software:

Hi,

I am using the LM117HVQML-SP in a system that can see input voltage transients of up to 75V. Can the LM117HVQML-SP take transients of this high, say if the transient is 75V, 20V/us, and 10us total pulse width? Can the regulator handle these types of transients, or would any input voltage above the rated 60V cause permanent damage?

Thanks!

  • Hi Brian,

    Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

    Thanks,
