Bourns, Inc. announced the further expansion of its line of discrete transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode products with two new series of ESD/EFT surge protection products. Bourns designed its Model SMA6J and Model SMA6L-Q TVS diodes to protect power buses and I/O interfaces in data lines and DC power supplies. In addition, Bourns Model SMA6J-Q is AEC-Q101 compliant and well-suited for […]
Transient-voltage-suppression diodes deliver higher protection in smaller packages
The latest generation of transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diodes from STMicroelectronics delivers market-leading power density, handling 600W and 1500W transient power in SMB Flat, and 400W and 600W in SMA Flat packages that are just 1.0mm high. In addition to the lower profile, ST’s new 1500W SMB Flat package has transient-power capability equivalent to that of conventional devices in […]
Low-capacitance TVS Diode arrays protect 10GbE high-speed differential data lines from discharge and surge events
Littelfuse, Inc. introduced a series of low capacitance TVS Diode Arrays (SPA Diodes) optimized to protect high-speed differential data lines from electrostatic discharge (ESD), cable discharge events (CDE), electrical fast transients (EFT), and lightning-induced surges, keeping network communications reliable by safeguarding signal integrity. The SP3384NUTG Series can protect up to four channels against up to […]
Dual-channel flash LED driver support advanced camera flash and torch functionality
Diodes Incorporated announced the AL3644, a high-speed, dual-channel flash LED driver designed to support advanced camera flash and torch functionality, as offered by the latest smartphones and other portable consumer devices. Key features include independently controlled output currents configured through an I2C-compatible interface and the ability to combine two devices (with different device identification addresses) […]
TVS diodes provide 8-kW peak pulse power dissipation in a space-saving package
A new series of higher surge TVS Diode products come in an DO-214AB package. The 8.0SMDJ series is optimized to protect sensitive electronic equipment from transient voltage induced by lightning and other voltage events. Because it combines up to 8,000 W of peak pulse power dissipation in a compact DO-214AB SMC package, the 8.0SMDJ series […]

Diodes target audio amps in automotive apps
Power Integrations announced that its 200 V Qspeed diodes – LQ10N200CQ and LQ20N200CQ – are now available with AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. Qspeed silicon diodes use merged-PIN technology to offer a unique balance of soft switching and low reverse recovery charge (Qrr). This results in low EMI and reduced output noise, which is especially important for […]
Advanced circuit protection for connected autonomous vehicles
New protocols for high connectivity need robust protection for reliability and safety. James Colby | Littelfuse, Inc. At the turn of the century, automobiles hosted many electronic systems that were basically independent. Since then, the growth of connectivity and rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning have changed automotive electronics dramatically. Vehicles of all types […]
Varistors ARE viable for surge protection
by Patrik Kalbermatten, KEMET Protecting sensitive electronic equipment against transient voltages in the form of surges that may be either circuit emanating from relays or motors, or significant ESD events such as lightning strikes, is a vital part of equipment design. Several technologies exist to protect sensitive electronic circuitry from voltage surges, including gas discharge […]
