LM5069 surviving 1100V surges

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM5069

Hi Team,

is there a way to use the LM5069 to protect against 1100V surges? Do we maybe have a reference design for that? Is the LM5069 even usable for such high voltages?

Thank you for your time!


Best Regards

  • Hi Simon,

    Is there a specific pulse standard they are looking to pass?

    A couple of key questions would be:

    1. What is the pulse waveform (a diagram would be ideal, otherwise the rise time, decay time, overall duration)?

    2. What generator source impedance are they looking at? For example, a 2ohm impedance would mean up to 550A injected, versus a 200ohm impedance would be just 5.5A.

    If the source impedance is high, then just a TVS diode on the input may be sufficient. For example a hefty TVS diode such as 5.0SMDJ33A can protect up to 5kW of brief transient power.

    Thanks!
