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 ...

SPICE circuit simulations are a powerful design tool to analyze a system's immunity against conducted EMI surge voltages. SPICE can serve as a valuable tool to validate and optimize the performance of ...

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 ...
