Littelfuse, Inc. has announced a TPSMB asymmetrical TVS diode series that protects sensitive electronics from voltage transients. The series is the first to market for TVS diodes that protect silicon ...

Diodes today are solid-state devices, but in the beginning of the electronics age, they were crystals, as it was the German physicist Ferdinand Braun who first discovered in 1874 that crystals had ...

Among passive electronic components, the fuse and diode are well known, well understood, widely used, and essential to many circuits and systems. Still, each has inherent shortcomings that make them ...

Diodes are an essential component in many systems, but using them for reverse-connection protection in automotive and other power applications has one weakness: Their forward voltage drop (which can ...
