The TPS3711 has a 40-V absolute maximum rating on the VDD pin, with a recommended maximum operating condition of 36 V. If the voltage supply that provides power to VDD is susceptible to any large voltage transient that may exceed 40 V, or if the supply exhibits high voltage slew rates greater than 1 V/µs, then place an RC filter between the supply and VDD to filter any high-frequency transient surges on the VDD pin. In these cases, a 100-Ω resistor and 0.01-µF capacitor are required, as shown in Figure 7-5.
