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 ...

A circuit powered from an automotive electrical system must survive in a harsh environment. Voltage transients can be either random or repetitive. Repetitive transients, such as a cranking the engine, ...

Littelfuse, Inc. has launched the TPSMB Asymmetrical Series TVS Diodes (TPSMB2412CA, TPSMB2616CA, TPSMB2818CA, TPSMB3018CA). These first-to-market devices are specifically designed for 12V battery ...

Littelfuse, Inc. has introduced the low-capacitance SP2574NUTG TVS Diode Array, designed to protect high-speed, differential data lines from damage due to ESD (electrostatic discharge), CDE (cable ...

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 ...

A diode makes 12V car electronics safer and simpler. It cuts extra parts, reduces power loss, and keeps important systems ...

There are limitations to older circuit protection solutions that use Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes. Responding to this situation, completely new transient current suppressors utilize ...

[Afroman] is back again with another great tutorial video on the basics of electronics. This time it’s zener diodes. Page three or four of every ‘beginners guide to electronics’ covers a diode as, “a ...

And here it is, modelled using LTSpice. It is the same circuit as the classic simple precision rectifier (set to pass the negative half-sine), but with the non-inverting input of the op-amp connected ...

In the realm of modern electronics, semiconductor diodes have emerged as fundamental components with diverse applications. One of their pivotal roles lies in the fields of rectification and voltage ...
