Expensive semiconductor laser diodes have no tolerance for fast voltage or current transients. To minimize the risk of damage, a standard JFET-clamp circuit shorts the laser when there is no supply ...

External TVS diodes can be used to supplement the internal clamping diodes of ICs. Surge ability of silicon TVS diodes are related to size. External TVS diodes can be 10x larger than internal clamping ...

Some amplifier applications require clamping or limiting due to large, sporadic signals appearing at the amplifier input. Clamping these errant signals protects the amplifier and other sensitive ...

Littelfuse, Inc. has introduced the low-capacitance SP3014 Series TVS Diode Array (SPA® Diodes), to provide protection for electronic equipment that may experience destructive electrostatic ...

New transient voltage suppression diodes rated at 3 kA provide compact protection for DC buses, PoE systems, data centre ...

Littelfuse has launched its 5.0SMDJ-FB TVS Diode Series, a 5000 W surface-mount solution in a DO-214AB package engineered to protect sensitive DC power lines from overvoltage transients. The series ...

[Afroman’s] latest video shows you how to add reverse voltage protection with minimal power loss. At some point, one of your electronic concoctions will turn out to be very useful. You want to make ...

Discretes manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor has introduced the first product in its new series of SUPER CLAMP Snapback TVS devices. SUPER CLAMP TVS diodes have snapback characteristics featuring a ...
