a complete discussion). The low loss ceramic capacitor
combined with stray inductance in series with the power
source forms an underdamped tank circuit, and the voltage
at the V
IN
pin of the LT3493 can ring to twice the nominal
input voltage, possibly exceeding the LT3493’s rating and
damaging the part. If the input supply is poorly controlled
or the user will be plugging the LT3493 into an energized
supply, the input network should be designed to prevent
this overshoot.
Figure 9 shows the waveforms that result when an LT3493
circuit is connected to a 24V supply through six feet of
24-gauge twisted pair. The fi rst plot is the response with
