A surge protector is an electronic protection device designed to safeguard electrical and electronic equipment from voltage surges (transient overvoltage). A voltage surge is a sudden and short-duration spike in voltage that exceeds the normal operating voltage of a system. These surges may last from a few nanoseconds to milliseconds but can reach several kilovolts […]
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 […]
