MIL-STD-1275E surge stopper with input range 7-36V & output 36V.

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LT4363 LTC4366

Hi,

I require a MIL-STD-1275E surge stopper with input range 7-36V & output 36V. This will be conencted into a MAX25240 to regulate final output to 12V 2-3A as it is very efficient.

My circuit needs to continually operate during input distortions.

These solutions similar to what I need for my power input section BUT:

1. I'd like to replace the Reverse Polarity diode D1 with the solution in LTC4366 datasheet Figure 8. Is this a workable change?

2. Operate 7-36V nominally

3. Output 36V maximum. - Can I simply adjust the FB resistors?

4. Should I be looking at the LTC7860 instead?

  • 1. I'd like to replace the Reverse Polarity diode D1 with the solution in LTC4366 datasheet Figure 8. Is this a workable change?

    Looking through the article, the purpose of D1 is to block a -250V spike for 1us on the input.
    The circuitry in figure 8 is for blocking reverse DC inputs. I don't think it would be effective at blocking transients.

    2. Operate 7-36V nominally

    This is a problem. The min input voltage for the LTC4366 is 9V. At this voltage range, you don’t need the LTC4366’s floating topology. Substitute with a different linear surge stopper.

    3. Output 36V maximum. - Can I simply adjust the FB resistors?

    Yes, that should do it.

    4. Should I be looking at the LTC7860 instead?

    You'd move to the LTC7860 if the load current was large (~10A), which doesn't seem to be the case in your application.
    If you want ideal diode and surge stopper functionality in one IC, consider the LTC4364.
