MC3423
Overvoltage Crowbar
Sensing Circuit
This overvoltage protection circuit (OVP) protects sensitive electronic
circuitry from overvoltage transients or regulator failures when used in
conjunction with an external 鈥渃rowbar鈥?SCR. The device senses the
overvoltage condition and quickly 鈥渃rowbars鈥?or short circuits the supply,
forcing the supply into current limiting or opening the fuse or circuit breaker.
The protection voltage threshold is adjustable and the MC3423 can be
programmed for minimum duration of overvoltage condition before tripping,
thus supplying noise immunity.
The MC3423 is essentially a 鈥渢wo terminal鈥?system, therefore it can be
used with either positive or negative supplies.
