Selecting An ESD Suppressor
Introduction to ESD Suppressor Selection
Littelfuse offers three device technologies for the suppression of ESD events and other EMC-related transients. These are the MultiLayer Metal Oxide Varistor, Silicon (SCR/Diode Array and TVS Avalanche Diode Arrays) and Polymeric Voltage Variable Material technologies. Though these products have different characteristics, they have the common goal of protecting sensitive components from transients that threaten their survivability and functionality. Additionally, EMC legislation, or other immunity requirements, may mean that existing products require suppression devices in order to be compliant with the applicable immunity test.
