Surge Stoppers: Overvoltage & Overcurrent Protection ICs - Video Product Brief

Pinkesh Sachdev - Product Marketing Engineer - Mixed Signal Aug 25th 2016
  Historically, overvoltage and overcurrent protection (e.g., load dump protection) was achieved using bulky capacitors, TVS diodes and fuses, but this discrete solution consumes a lot of real estate, and does not offer continuous operation through transient events. Linear Technology's family of High Voltage Surge ...

LTC7860 High Efficiency Switching Surge Stopper - Video Product Brief

Bruce Haug - Product Marketing Engineer Mar 24th 2015
  The LTC®7860 high efficiency surge stopper protects loads from high voltage transients. High efficiency permits higher currents and smaller solution sizes. During an input overvoltage event, such as a load dump in vehicles, the LTC7860 controls the gate of an external MOSFET to act as a switching DC/DC regulator ...
