A Zener diode can be used as an overvoltage protector that shunts fault current through ground via a current-limiting resistor (Figure 2). Note that the Zener protection is effective only if the Zener ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe is expanding its surge protection Zener diodes line up with the addition of four new products.

High demands on the robustness of electronic systems, especially in industrial environments, continually present developers with great challenges. Overvoltage protection is one key design ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe has expanded its CUZ series of surge protection Zener diodes with four new models offering voltage ...

A subject rarely found in circuit design textbooks is the matter of nonlinear junction capacitance, especially reverse-bias junction capacitance, also called depletion capacitance. When it is ...

Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH expands its surge protection Zener diodes lineup with the addition of four new products to its CUZ series. The CUZ56V, CUZ62V, CUZ68V, and CUZ75V, with Zener voltages ...

Although microcontrollers generally run at low voltages, such as 3.3 V, they often need to control loads running at higher voltages like 12 V. If switching the low side isn’t an option, the ...

For amplifier applications which require overvoltage protection and also call for low distortion, low noise, and high bandwidth, engineers must pay careful attention ...
