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 […]
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, […]
A Clipper Circuit, also called a limiter, is an electronic circuit that removes or “clips” selected portions of an input signal without distorting the remaining waveform. Its primary purpose is to prevent a signal from rising above or falling below a specified voltage level. Because of this, clippers are widely used in waveform shaping, signal […]
