The increasing use of integrated circuits in modern electronic systems has resulted in a growing awareness about lightning overvoltage hazard. The integrated circuits, especially large-scale ...

Why a gas-discharge tube is an important component for overvoltage protection. The history of spark gaps—predecessors to GDTs—includes a role in famous movies. How a new, compact, surface-mount GDT ...

Several types of devices are employed in electronic systems to protect against voltage transients, power surges, and excessive voltage or current. Varistors is one of those devices that protect ...
