Hello all,
I have been having some problems with our gps tracking devices going bad in our vehicles. I noticed that all these vehicles had one thing in common, which was that they always had batteries going dead due to lack of use and sitting in the yard for too long and always having to be jump started. I did some research and read an article about jump staring and how it can cause a voltage spike for a few milliseconds that can possibly harm small electronics.
I came across this IC from Linear
http://cds.linear.com/docs/Datasheet/43563fa.pdf
It gives several diffrent applications for use, I was wondering which would be the best application for us or if there is a better solution.
Thanks
