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 ...

As high-speed data technologies evolve to become faster and smaller, sensitivity to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and lightning surges has increased. Now more than ever, a robust and effective surge ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. Robust circuit protection solutions are essential to protect sensitive electronic interface devices like data ports against high-energy ...

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 ...
