Methods and systems for protecting integrated circuits from various electrical transients

摘要

The high voltage pulse protection device 10 protects the integrated circuits 28 and 30. Integrated circuits 28 and 30 are coupled with integrated circuit board region 64. The high voltage pulse protection device 10 includes a protection circuit board area 74 separated from the integrated circuit board area 64. Main protection circuits 40 and 42 are coupled with protection circuit board area 74 to provide at least one connection with integrated circuits 28 and 30 to receive high voltage pulses and dissipate them through at least one connection. (22). This protects the integrated circuits 28 and 30 from high voltage pulses.
