LT3504
Applications Information
Overvoltage Transient Protection
Figure 9 shows the complete application circuit for a
4-output step-down regulator with 100% duty cycle
operation that withstands 180V surges. Under normal
operating conditions (VIN < 33V), the VSKY rail supplies
gate drive to MOSFET Q1, providing the LT3504 with a low
resistance path to VSUPPLY. In the event that a supply surge
occurs, Zener diode D1 clamps Q1’s gate voltage to 36V.
The source-follower configuration prevents VIN from rising
any further than about 33V (a VGS below the Zener clamp
voltage ). Figure 10 shows the LT3504 regulating all four
channels through a 180V surge event without interruption.
