Description

May 1, 2018

This presentation covers a short review of external devices that can be used to protect data converters from electrical overstress. In particular we will look at TVS and Schottky diodes. These devices will be compared and contrasted with a PN & Zener diode. The key specifications that relate to overstress protection will be reviewed.
