Expensive semiconductor laser diodes have no tolerance for fast voltage or current transients. To minimize the risk of damage, a standard JFET-clamp circuit shorts the laser when there is no supply ...
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 ...
Taiwan Semiconductor has introduced new 24-volt automotive-grade SUPER CLAMP transient voltage suppression (TVS) devices ...
Abstract: This paper proposes a solid-state circuit breaker comprising silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and a SiC diode, based on the principle of avalanche voltage clamping. The key challenge in ...
And here it is, modelled using LTSpice. It is the same circuit as the classic simple precision rectifier (set to pass the negative half-sine), but with the non-inverting input of the op-amp connected ...
Littelfuse, Inc. has introduced the SM24CANA Series 200 W TVS Diode Array (SPA® Diodes) to protect automotive Controller Area Network (CAN) Bus from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), ...
Some amplifier applications require clamping or limiting due to large, sporadic signals appearing at the amplifier input. Clamping these errant signals protects the amplifier and other sensitive ...
