Abstract :
Load dump is a condition observed in automobiles when the battery is disconnected from the rest of the power supply circuit while the alternator is generating. Recently the load-dump transient condition has been receiving more attention. The authors discuss testing and design issues associated with manufacturing semiconductor devices which are required to withstand various load dump specifications
