Basics of MOV and GDT device construction and operation. Typical surge rating densities, leakage current, and capacitance of compared devices. Commonly experienced aging mechanisms and failure modes.

Overvoltage protection of AC power lines is a common practice, which encompasses a variety of protection circuit solutions. Most designs are cost-driven and tend to use only the bare minimum of ...

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 ...

Power protection is something most AV integration customers don’t think about until it’s too late, but surge protection products, along with power conditioning products, are the unsung heroes of the ...
