Image of KYOCERA/AVX Advantages of Multilayer Varistor Versus TVS Diodes - TVS and EMI Filtering

If both a TVS diode and capacitor are required for transient suppression and EMI filtering purposes, a multilayer varistor can be used in place of both. Generally, there will also be performance improvements as well, on top of the weight and space savings. An MLV has inherent capacitance and can be designed to meet certain values while maintaining its function of clamping transients and is conveniently packaged in the same EIA case sizes as MLCCs.
