TVS Clamping Diodes

Transil™ devices belong to clamping solution category.

Acting like a zener diode with a high surge capability, it protects the equipment by limiting the voltage across the integrated circuit to be protected. Transils can be either unidirectional or bidirectional depending on the signal in normal operating mode.

They are used to protect circuits against electrical over stress (EOS) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) such as IEC 61000-4-5, MILSTD 883E…
