From Littelfuse, Inc.
This application note discusses suppression of transients in the automotive environment. The circuit designer must ensure reliable circuit operation in this severe transient environment. The transients on the automobile power supply range from the severe, high energy, transients generated by the alternator/regulator system to the low-level "noise" generated by the ignition system and various accessories.
