1n914 ? --- Quote ---Hmm, minimum rating is -60V, you'll have to do something about that --- End quote --- Ok, so... if chip does not touch Vin, where is the problem ? |

Well, I ain't hell bent on understanding what's the matter. Would be nice if I would though. In the meanwhile, how about using the MCU for protecting the bigger load ? Q1 = 250V N channel MOSFET Q2 = logic level N MOSFET D1 = standard variety 0.5 - 5 kW TVS D2 = probably not needed, some very low value Zener MCU has a 330 uF reservoir so it will still operate even on a negative spike; its 5V is protected separately. This ought to work, right ? LE: actually Q1 will be two back to back MOSFETS |
