ABSTRACT:
A power integrated-circuit device is protected against load voltage surges. This is done by providing an alternate current-carrying path that is activated only in response to the occurrence of such surges. This alternate path is independent of and separate from the connection that extends between the device and its power supply source. In addition, circuitry is connected to the device to limit the portion of the surge voltage that can appear across critical elements of the device.
