ABSTRACT:
The present invention includes a system with a sensor to detect a change in one or more physical characteristics and provide a corresponding electrical sensor signal, a controller including a power source for the sensor, and transient suppression circuitry. This circuitry is coupled between the sensor and the power source of the controller, and includes a first thermistor to protect the sensor from a power surge from the controller and/or power source.
