New generations of portable products are increasingly sensitive to damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) voltage as newer integrated circuit (IC) technologies employ smaller geometries and lower ...

An ideal protection device must limit the energy going to the load being defended, to a sufficient minimum level, such that the load is not damaged. The protection device must survive this energy ...

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 ...

Speaking of that ST part from the last post, here is a write-up I did about it a few months ago that I did not post. It is a little more formal since it was meant for print, but in a blog I can rave ...

A variety of over-current and overvoltage products are on the market for protecting VDSL telecommunications circuits. These include transformer line-side capacitors, transformer driver-side diodes, ...

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 ...
