Abstract
An apparatus may include a transient voltage suppression (TVS) device array coupled to a first input terminal and a second input terminal; and a linear regulator module having a pair of inputs connected to a respective pair of outputs of the TVS device array, wherein the TVS device array includes at least one TVS diode is connected between a first output and second output of the pair of outputs to generate a first clamping voltage signal, and wherein the linear regulator module is configured to generate a second clamping voltage signal having a second clamping voltage independent of a first clamping voltage of the first clamping voltage signal received from the TVS device array.
