In its latest iteration, the ISO 7367-2 electromagnetic compatibility specification In reality, 12 V can vary from –14 V to +35 V for extended periods of time and focuses on high amplitude (>100 V), short duration (150 ns to 2 ms) transients experience voltage spikes with extremes ranging from +150 V to –220 V. Some from relatively high impedance sources (2 Ω to 50 Ω).

The capacitance reduces vehicle’s electronics system can be difficult to diagnose and expensive to fix. the spike’s amplitude from –150 V to –16 V, well within the range of reverse The experience of automakers over the last century has led to a catalog of elec- battery protection circuitry. ISO 7367-2 pulses 2a, 3a, and 3b have significantly trical conditions and transients that are known to disrupt operation and cause lower energy than pulse 1 and require less capacitance to suppress. damage. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has compiled ISO 7367–2: Pulse 1 this industry knowledge into the ISO 16750-2 and ISO 7367-2 specifications for road . At a minimum, the power supply for an automotive (ECU) should survive these conditions without damage. For critical systems, functionality and tolerances must be maintained. This requires that the power supply regulates the output voltage through the transient to preserve

ECU operation. Ideally, a complete power solution avoids the need for fuses, –16 V minimizes power dissipation, and features low quiescent current to support always-on systems without draining the battery. 30 V/div

Some of the more challenging tests include the load dump limiting the output voltage during a load dump, or when limiting current with a (test 4.6.4), the reverse battery condition (test 4.7), the superimposed alternating shorted output.

These SOA imposed limitations become more acute at higher operating voltages, making surge stopper use trickier for 24 V and 48 V systems. Load Dump A more scalable approach is to use a buck regulator capable of operating A load dump (ISO 16750-2: test 4.6.4) is a severe overvoltage transient that models with a 42 V input, such as the LT8640S. A switching regulator doesn’t have the a battery disconnect while the is sourcing substantial current.

In either case, it can take up to tion of parts that draw only a few microamps while in regulation under no load 400 ms to recover due to the large amount of magnetic energy stored in the conditions. Switching noise has also improved substantially with Silent Switcher® alternator’s stator windings. While most automakers utilize avalanche diodes, technology and spread spectrum frequency modulation techniques. increasing reliability demands are driving some manufacturers to require that ECUs satisfy peak load dump voltages approaching that of the unsuppressed case. Additionally, some buck regulators are able operate at 100% duty cycle such that the top switch is on continuously, passing the input voltage to the output One solution for facing load dumps is adding a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) through the inductor. Switching operation is triggered during overvoltage or to locally clamp the ECU supply. A more compact and tighter tolerance overcurrent conditions to limit output voltage or current, respectively. These approach is to use an active surge stopper, such as the LTC4364, which linearly buck regulators, such as the LTC7862, act as switching surge stoppers, achieving controls a series N-channel MOSFET to clamp the maximum output voltage to a low noise, low loss operation while still retaining the robustness of a switch- user programmed level (for example, 27 V).

In this way, efficiency is maximized in the various switching limited to 20 µA or so by an internal charge pump. While the ideal diode control- regions (buck, buck-boost, boost) by limiting switching to only the MOSFETs ler can quickly turn the MOSFET off, turn on is painfully slow, unsuitable for required for regulation for input voltages above, roughly equal to, or below the rectification of anything beyond very low frequencies. output, respectively. A more elegant approach is to use the LT8672 active rectifier controller, which can toggle an N-channel MOSFET fast enough to rectify the input voltage at ISO 16750-2 Solution Summary frequencies up to 100 kHz. An active rectifier controller is an ideal diode controller Figure 3 summarizes the various solutions to addressing the load dump, with two important additions: a large reservoir of charge boosted up from the reverse input voltage, superimposed alternating voltage, and engine starting input voltage and a powerful gate driver to toggle the N-channel MOSFET both on profile tests along with the pros and cons of each approach.
