Abstract
A high side reverse voltage and overvoltage protection circuit configuration comprising: a first switching device in operable communication with a transient protected voltage source; a second switching device in operable communication and in series with the first switching device and in operable communication with an unprotected voltage source; a control circuit configured to control the first switching device and the second switching device in operable communication with another transient protected voltage source. The first switching device is configured to provide reverse voltage protection for the transient protected voltage source; and the second switching device is configured to provide overvoltage protection for the transient protected voltage source.
