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

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 ...

Design engineers often give circuit protection only cursory attention. Fuses, diodes, and varistors are so well known that designers select them with little thought as to the nature of the overvoltage ...

Manufacturers of circuit protection devices continue to enhance the performance of their safety components to protect electronic devices and equipment, ranging from smartphones and wearables to data ...

These devices provide optimised protection for AC-coupled radio-frequency (RF) transmission lines against electrostatic discharge (ESD) events, surge currents and short circuit conditions. These ...
