  • Publication number: 20120320481
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided for protecting electronic circuitry from voltage transients including undervoltage transients in a supply voltage. The device may include a first low voltage isolated transistor coupled in forward bias with respect to a power supply and a second low voltage isolated transistor coupled in series with the first low voltage isolated transistor and in reverse bias with respect to the power supply voltage. The device may further include a resistor coupled between a gate of the first low voltage isolated transistor and the power supply, the resistor configured to limit current flow to the gate of the first low voltage isolated transistor during an overvoltage event.
