Expensive semiconductor laser diodes have no tolerance for fast voltage or current transients. To minimize the risk of damage, a standard JFET-clamp circuit shorts the laser when there is no supply ...

Voltage clamps for protecting low-voltage dc circuits require a new approach to circuit design. Many commonly used voltage clamps were built for systems of 5 V or higher, but lower-voltage systems ...

There are limitations to older circuit protection solutions that use Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes. Responding to this situation, completely new transient current suppressors utilize ...

DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete DESIGN SOLUTION contributed article, which begins on Page 2. Why should you ac-couple your video signals? In many cases, it's because the application has a ...
