Microprocessors and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) require low-voltage, high-current power supplies. These supplies usually have very strict requirements on output-voltage deviations ...

Repeatable transients are frequently caused by the operation of motors, generators, or the switching of reactive circuit components. Random transients, on the other hand, are often caused by Lightning ...

Many vendors of industrial bus transceivers showcase their device robustness with a high immunity to electrostatic discharge (ESD). In strong contrast to that, industrial system designers rank ESD as ...

It’s normal to assume that there’s an easy way to relate the bandwidth of a power-supply control loop to its transient response—no good reference exists that defines this in simple terms. It seems ...

Damage from transient overvoltages is one of the leading causes of equipment failure. Although some pieces of equipment may come equipped with transient protection, others will need some form of ...

Microchip Technology has introduced a new family of plastic-packaged Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) devices.
