The single, nonrepetitive, pulse of against rugged abuse from high transient or DC voltages energy (EAS) absorbed by the MOSFET during this ava- up to the BVDSS of the MOSFET. Figure 6 shows a 50V lanche breakdown with a peak current IAS is approximated input plugged into the LTC4360 controlling a 60V rated by the formula: MOSFET. E 2 AS = 0.5 • LIN • IAS Input transients also occur when the current through the For L cable inductance changes abruptly. This can happen when IN = 2µH and IAS = 4A, then EAS = 16µJ. This is within the I the LTC4360 turns off the N-channel MOSFET rapidly in an AS and EAS capabilities of most MOSFET’s including the Si1470DH. So in most instances, the LTC4360 can overvoltage event. Figure 7 shows the effects of a voltage ride through such transients without a bypass capacitor, transient at the wall adaptor output VADAPTOR. The cur- transient voltage suppressor or other external compo- rent in LIN will cause VIN to overshoot and avalanche the nents at IN. N-channel MOSFET to COUT . Typically, IN will be clamped to a voltage of VOUT + 1.3•(BVDSS of Si1470DH) = 45V. Figure 8 shows a particularly severe situation which can occur in a mobile device with dual power inputs.
