Reverse polarity is one of the most common causes of circuit failure, from hobby projects to industrial systems. The good news is that a well-designed reverse polarity protection using MOSFET ...

Most CMOS chips include two protection diodes at every I/O pad, wired as clamps. These diodes limit the input voltage from going much higher than V CC or lower than ground. This limitation on the ...

The PESD5V0V1BSF is a very low capacitance bidirectional ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) protection diode in a SOD962 leadless ultra small Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) package designed to protect one ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Ideal diodes and ORing controllers offer space-saving, scalable solutions to protect a system against reverse voltage or reverse current. They reduce the energy lost ...

A hacker’s view on ESD protection can tell you a lot about them. I’ve seen a good few categories of hackers neglecting ESD protection – there’s the yet-inexperienced ones, ones with a devil-may-care ...

Depending on the series, the TVS diodes are specified for an operating temperature range from –55C to +150C, making them suitable for harsh environmental conditions. For automotive applications, ...
