External TVS diodes can be used to supplement the internal clamping diodes of ICs. Surge ability of silicon TVS diodes are related to size. External TVS diodes can be 10x larger than internal clamping ...
Most mobile, fitness, and portable electronics are powered by lithium-ion (rechargeable) batteries. When power dissipation is of primary concern, even a drop across a standard Schottky diode is ...
