The Reduction of Input Voltage Spike on Power Switches
The power switch is a low voltage, single N-Channel MOSFET high-side power switch, optimized for self-powered and bus- powered Universal Serial Bus (USB) applications. In worse operating condition, an input voltage spike may over the chip's maximum input voltage specification to damage the chip. This application note introduces solutions for reducing the input voltage spike on power switches.
