During voltage spurt testing, overvoltage protection circuits may exhibit two abnormalities: false protection or no protection. False protection stems from an overly sensitive threshold setting or a lack of hysteresis; no protection occurs due to an excessively high threshold or a slow response. Proper design requires the use of a comparator with hysteresis, the hysteresis voltage set according to the system tolerance. Adding an RC low-pass filter at the comparator input prevents false triggering due to voltage spikes. Simultaneously, a clamping circuit consisting of a Zener diode or TVS diode can be installed at the power supply front end as hardware redundancy protection. Through reasonable threshold and hysteresis design, combined with filtering and redundant protection, the overvoltage protection circuit can ensure accurate and reliable operation during voltage spurts.
