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 ...

There are limitations to older circuit protection solutions that use Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes. Responding to this situation, completely new transient current suppressors utilize ...

The ubiquitous diode—though you likely have a good understanding of this device, this primer of sorts acts as a quick-read guide, highlighting many of the essentials you need to know. The diode is a ...

KAWASAKI, Japan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched a gate driver photocoupler, “TLP5814H,” with an output of +6.8A/-4.8A, in a small size SO8L ...
