Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a sudden and momentary flow of electric current between two differently-charged objects when brought close together.

A transient-voltage-suppression (TVS) diode, also transil, transorb or thyrector, is an electronic component used to protect electronics from voltage spikes.

This file contains additional information, probably added from the digital camera or scanner used to create or digitize it.

A TVS diode (ESD protection diode) is a kind of Zener diode. It is a diode that is mainly used for static electricity (ESD) countermeasures.

An ESD protection diode is a type of Zener diode optimized for ESD protection applications. It is used to protect an IC from excessive voltage.

ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) refers to the rapid transfer of electrons that occurs when two objects come into close proximity or contact.

When external overvoltage conditions are applied to an amplifier, ESD diodes are the last line of defense between your amplifier and electrical over stress.

To protect sensitive circuitry from electrical overstress failures, ESD protection diodes are connected to each signal line between the interface connector and ...

ESD Protection Diodes: These are specialized diodes that conduct current in the reverse direction when the voltage exceeds a certain threshold. They are ...
