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 ...

Designing automotive electronics presents numerous technical challenges, including the need to protect against electrical hazards under the hood and in the cabin. The three major sources of electrical ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

In low power laser diode modules the designer has the option to use the classical discrete solution or take advantage of fully integrated driver ICs. Often the component cost is the only driving ...

This video explains how diodes function as directional components in electronic circuits. Diodes allow current to flow in only one direction, making them essential for tasks like rectification, ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is an essential facet in the design and operation of modern integrated circuits (ICs). As electronic devices become increasingly miniaturised and complex, ...

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, ...
