TVS - Diodes from Fairchild/ON Semiconductor : 89 - Page 5

TVS Diodes (Transient Voltage Suppression Diodes) are designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage spikes and surges. They function by clamping the excess voltage and dissipating the energy, thereby ensuring that sensitive components are shielded from potential damage.

These diodes are pivotal in safeguarding devices such as computers, communication systems, and automotive electronics. Offering fast response times and low clamping voltage, TVS diodes ensure reliable performance even in high-stress environments.

Renowned manufacturers like Vishay, Littelfuse, and STMicroelectronics provide a wide selection of TVS diodes suitable for various voltage ratings and power capacities. Incorporating these diodes into your design enhances protection and minimizes the risk of transient-induced failures.
