A TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diode is a specialized semiconductor device used to protect electronic circuits from high-voltage transients such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning surges, and switching spikes. It responds extremely fast and clamps overvoltage to a safe level before they damage sensitive components. Modern electronic systems are highly sensitive to voltage spikes caused […]
Understanding the difference between Surge Protection and Over Voltage Protection is essential for designing robust electronic systems, selecting the right protective components, and complying with safety and EMC standards. Modern electronic and electrical systems are increasingly sensitive to abnormal voltage conditions. With the widespread use of microcontrollers, SMPS power supplies, communication modules, and semiconductor devices, […]
The avalanche diode is a specialized type of semiconductor diode designed to operate in the reverse breakdown region without getting damaged. It plays a critical role in protecting electronic circuits from high voltage spikes and is commonly used in voltage regulation and surge protection applications. This article explores the avalanche diode in depth, from its […]
