ESD Suppressors / TVS Diodes
ESD Suppressors, also known as TVS Diodes (Transient Voltage Suppression Diodes), are specialized semiconductor devices designed to protect sensitive electronic components and circuits from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and other transient voltage events. They provide voltage clamping to limit the voltage across protected components during ESD events, offering fast response times to divert excess current away from sensitive circuits. With bidirectional protection and low capacitance, ESD Suppressors ensure minimal signal degradation and preserve signal integrity in high-speed data lines and sensitive analog signals. These compact devices find widespread application in smartphones, laptops, integrated circuits, sensors, and industrial automation systems, serving as a critical safeguard against ESD events and transient voltage disturbances. Prominent manufacturers of ESD Suppressors and TVS Diodes include Vishay, ON Semiconductor, Littelfuse, Bourns, and STMicroelectronics.
