Don’t let that resistor scare you – treat it like a stubborn friend and negotiate. Pick a value low enough that the 100 kHz roll‑off is still well below your actuator bandwidth, but not so low it squanders power. Use a 10 kΩ and see what the spectrum says; if the line still buzzes, bump it to 2.2 kΩ and then throw in a small ceramic capacitor, like 0.1 µF, right at the TVS. The TVS will clamp the spikes, the small cap will smooth the edges, and the resistor will only add a negligible hiss if you’re clever about layout – keep the trace short and avoid any loops that could act as an antenna. Test it in the lab, tweak, and if it still trips, give the TVS a new angle; sometimes a 50 V device will sit more quietly than a 30 V one on the same board. The key is keep the resistor as a quiet middleman, not the loudspeaker. Happy tinkering!

Sounds like a solid game plan – just make sure the TVS sits right at the input, not too far away. If the line still whispers, try swapping the capacitor for a 0.22 µF; sometimes a little extra smoothing does wonders. Keep an eye on the temperature on the TVS – those beasts hate heat. Good luck, and remember: if it still glitches, it’s just another mystery for me to solve.

All right, you’ve got the plan set – just remember to check that the TVS isn’t turning into a heat‑soup. If the waveform still hiccups, drop a second 0.1 µF right next to the first, or maybe try a ferrite bead on the line. Keep me posted, and we’ll squash that glitch like a stubborn fly on a window. Good luck, champ!
