Power-supply overvoltage protection, Part 2: Clamps
Part 1 of this FAQ discussed the context of overvoltage protection and crowbars which provide OVP. This part will look at clamps for OVP use. Q: What does the clamp do? A: A clamp conducts just-enough current to maintain the voltage across it at a safe, desired value when the transient is above the clamp’s […]
Power-supply overvoltage protection, Part 1: Crowbars
Engineers who deal with power supplies (as most eventually do) often see the circuit-protection terms “crowbar” and “clamp.” No, there are no references to items purchased at the local hardware store, but they are essential “hardware” elements, meaning autonomous circuit components and functions with no related software. They are used to provide protection to a […]
