Use LTC7862 as surge stopper and pass MIL-STD-1275D

Thread Summary

The user inquired about using the LTC7862 as a surge stopper to meet MIL-STD-1275D requirements. The final answer stated that ADI does not provide a MIL-STD-1275D reference design for the LTC7862, and the device's 140V input limit does not support the 250V spike requirement. The LTC7862 also does not support a floating ground configuration like the LTC7860. An accompanying answer suggested that a TVS diode could potentially improve protection for higher voltage spikes, such as 600V, but this is not confirmed for the LTC7862.

HI ADI Expert,

We would like use LTC786x as surge stopper and it need pass MIL-STD-1275D standard.

We picked LTC7860 first but we can't find 250V P-MOS with low RDson so Power dissipation is quote large.

Now we're studying LTC7862 which use N-MOS, but we can't find description about designing with floating ground.  ( It describes very clearly in LTC7860's datasheet )

May I know :

1. Does ADI provide LTC7862 reference design which pass MIL-STD-1275D standard?

2. Can you share more design note about designing LTC7862 with floating ground? 

Thank you!
