Semtech PowerClamp™ or PClamp High-Surge TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) Diodes are designed for use in harsh transient environments. The PowerClamp TVS Diodes protect sensitive electronics from damage or latch-up due to EOS (Electrical Over-Stress), lightning, CDE (Cable Discharge Event), and ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). The PowerClamp TVS Diodes feature large cross-sectional area junctions for conducting high transient currents. These devices offer desirable characteristics for board-level protection, including fast response time, low operating and clamping voltage, and no device degradation.
