In summary, this training module showed that systems are increasingly vulnerable to damage from transient voltage threats including ESD, cable discharge and lightning. As transceiver sensitivity to transient threats is increasing, good system level protection is needed more than ever before. To provide system level protection, TVS diodes with their low clamping voltages, are a good choice to safely arrest transients. Semtech offers a broad portfolio of proven TVS solutions for safeguarding even the most sensitive interfaces from transient threats.
