This reference design features multiple approaches for protecting AC or DC analog input: DC analog output: AC or DC binary input: digital output with a high side or low side driver: LCD bias supply: USB interfaces (power and data) and onboard power supplies with 24: 12 or 5V input used in multiple grid applications against overvoltage: overload and transients (1.2/50 us: 42-Ω) using flat-clamp surge protection: ESD devices: eFuse or a load switch. The design monitors temperature: humidity: magnetic fields and power supplies for diagnostics.
