Inquiry regarding over voltage protection for LT1999

Hello, all

Now we have inquiry regarding over voltage protection for LT1999 from our customer.

Please refer to the items below, and feedback us with your comment.

Due to the input voltage range change on current trial board which uses LT1999, we need to have some over voltage protection

for LT1999.

We are thinking to use 4 10kohm resistor dividing for this protection. (Assumed maximum common mode voltage and differential voltage are 120 to 150V)

The circuit image is described as below for your reference.  

Please let us clarify whether this protection could affect on any regulation for the system.

We thank you in advance for your confirmation. 

Best regards,

Atsushi Okui

  • Hello,

    What is commonly affected by this implementation is the guaranteed CMRR.
    To preserve the CMRR, we would recommend to use matched resistors or resistors with lower tolerances.

    This additional circuitry would add cost and space in your design.

    You can also check LT6376 found in this link.
    This part has higher input voltage range as compared to LT1999 and may suit your application.

    Thanks and regards.
