Protection from automotive spikes
Protection from automotive spikes
(OP)
I've got a project that I may end up using in a car, so being that the alternator can give some rather nasty spikes, what have others done to protect the microcontroller and associated circuits from damage? Zeners? MOV's? Transorbs? RL circuit? Isolated DC/DC module?

The first issue is what voltage your project uses and how much current does it need?
