PPLITION NOTE from harger-induced Failure automotive power buses. utomotive power buses are notoriously dirty. lthough they are nominally V, they can range in normal operation from V to V. Still, battery currents can exceed mps and be stopped instantly via a relay or fuse, generating large inductive spikes on the bus and increasing voltage by five times or more. lthough typical computer power supplies provide regulated lines at V +/-%, and V +/-%, under certain circumstances the voltage at these lines may exceed.v and.v, causing damage to the system or unprotected peripherals. Voltage spikes can occur when there is inductance in the power bus and a rapid change in current occurs. This change can result from a hot disconnect of a peripheral, an internal system shutdown, or other internal power fluctuations. The widespread availability of external and universal power supplies has made charger-induced system failure a leading cause of device warranty returns. esigning in additional safeguards to help prevent damage that may be caused by the use of unauthorized charging systems is complicated by the fact that the solution itself must accommodate smaller electronic packages. The most cost-effective way to implement a power bus for portable electronics is with a standard barrel jack. However, because this connector is so commonly used, the user may accidentally connect the incorrect power supply to electronic equipment at home or while traveling. Faults may also occur when using commercially available universal power supplies that come with a variety of connectors. These devices allow the user to dial in the voltage to levels as high as V, as well as switch polarity. Transient protection is especially critical when designing peripherals that may be powered off computer buses and Under the new US 3. specification, high-powered devices will be able to source up.9 of current, and new types of powering devices, such as Powered- connector devices, may provide up to, as opposed to. in the US. specification. These higher current applications require more reliable and robust circuit protection to help prevent damage caused by overvoltage transients and overcurrent conditions. PolyZen devices are designed to help lock out inappropriate power supplies. The device is particularly effective at clamping and smoothing inductive voltage spikes. In response to an inductive spike, the device s Zener diode element shunts current to ground until the voltage is reduced to the normal operating range. In the case of a wrong-voltage power supply, the device clamps the voltage, shunts excess power to ground, and eventually locks out the wrong supply. The relatively flat voltage vs. current response of the PolyZen device helps clamp the output voltage, even when input voltage and source currents vary. It helps provide coordinated protection with a component that protects like a Zener diode, but is capable of withstanding very-high-power fault conditions without requiring any special heat-sinking structures beyond normal P traces.
