#160859 - that MAY (I emphasize MAY) work
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Here's an example I used. It's most commonly used on supply rails, but it's applicable to any signal.


that MAY (I emphasize MAY) work.

we have had supplies with this type of crowbar that did not 'kill' the overvoltage fast enough.

I would parallel the SCR with a TVS to take the short spike.
