which operate by rapidly moving fromhigh impedance to a non-linear resistance characteristic that clamps surge voltages. TVS diodes provide a fast-acting and well-controlled clamping voltage, however they exhibit high capacitance and low energy capability thereby restricting the maximum surge current. > TISPήThyristor Transient Voltage Suppressor(TVS) Diodes -based devices initiallyclamp the line voltage, and then switch to a low- voltage OnӔ state.

Bourns family of Line Feed Resistor (LFR) Line Protection Modules (LPMs) , normally fabricated as athick-film resistor on a ceramic substrate. LPMs have the ability to withstand high voltage impulses without breaking down, AC current interruption occurs when the high temperature developed by the resistor causes mechanical expansion stresses that result in the ceramic breaking open. Low current power induction may not break the LFR open, creating long-term surface temperatures of more than 300 C. To avoid heat damage to the PCB and adjacent components, maximum surface temperature can be limited...

USB On The Go (OTG) Power over Ethernet (PoE) > After the success of the USB 2.0 standard, the USBImplementers Forum, Inc. developed an expansion standard called USB OTG (On The Go). USB OTG was developed based on the concept of allowing peripheral devices to communicate directly with each other without going through a PC host. USB 2.0 traditionally consisted of a host/periphery topology where a PC was the host and the peripheral could communicate only through the host device. However, USB OTG was introduced to supplement USB 2.0 to allow existing mobile devices to communicate in a point-to-point...
