Product Number: LTC4380
Hi,
I have a application where i want to limit the voltage transients and current in a 140VDC circuit. I am looking at the datasheet of the LTC4380 and the application circuit in figure 11 shows how to accomplish this with a 70VDC limit. If i want to use the 4380 in my application, i am thinking that i will need to change the application circuit in figure 11 with the following:
- Tie SEL to VCC so that my clamping voltage is at 50V
- Replace the 43V zener diode connected to the GND with two 47V zeners in series
By doing this, will my voltage clamp be set at 47V+47V+45V = 139V?
Also will i need to increase the 33V zener that is connected to VCC to a higher voltage level?
Thanks
William
