The is the simulated version of the schematic.



I have designed a protection circuit for my pcb and I would appreciate having some feedback before starting the PCB design.

The circuit is broken down as follow;

-ESD protection provided by a one channel IC

-low pass filter to suppress noise above 4.5Khz

-pmos to protect against reverse polarity

-crowbar for overvoltage protection

-current sensor which is connected to a uC ( ideally I would like the op amp to work with the PSU IN in the range 3.3v to 16v)

The maximum voltage is 16V and the minimum votlage is 3.3V.


The is the final version of the schematic

 



The current monitored is in the range of 0 - 1A . ADC is from 0 - 3.3V

The actual models used have been implemented in the schematic for clarity.

The supply voltage range is from 3.3V to 16V

The low pass filter has been replaced by a ferrite bead

Differential Op amp is used for current monitoring with 165K for R load to provide the adequate gain (0 to 3.3V input to the ADC).
 

... is the final version of the schematic

View attachment 107544

The current measurement system is not ok: 2.439V at the non-inverting input of OP-471A means there's a current > 5A flowing through R8. In this opAmp's configuration, with a gain of 1+R10/R9, the opAmp's output should show ≈17V , which obviously isn't possible with a 5V power supply.

This has nothing to do with the protection circuit.
 


Please see the updated schematic above.
