A TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diode is a specialized semiconductor device used to protect electronic circuits from high-voltage transients such as electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning surges, and switching spikes. It responds extremely fast and clamps overvoltage to a safe level before they damage sensitive components. Modern electronic systems are highly sensitive to voltage spikes caused […]
A surge protector is an electronic protection device designed to safeguard electrical and electronic equipment from voltage surges (transient overvoltage). A voltage surge is a sudden and short-duration spike in voltage that exceeds the normal operating voltage of a system. These surges may last from a few nanoseconds to milliseconds but can reach several kilovolts […]
Understanding the difference between Surge Protection and Over Voltage Protection is essential for designing robust electronic systems, selecting the right protective components, and complying with safety and EMC standards. Modern electronic and electrical systems are increasingly sensitive to abnormal voltage conditions. With the widespread use of microcontrollers, SMPS power supplies, communication modules, and semiconductor devices, […]
While a BCD adder performs decimal addition using binary hardware with correction logic, a BCD subtractor performs the subtraction of one BCD number from another and produces a valid BCD result. This requires additional logic because simple binary subtraction does not automatically produce valid BCD outputs. Digital systems frequently need to perform arithmetic operations such […]
Let’s explore the BCD Adder Circuit and learn how it adds decimal digits using Binary Coded Decimal (BCD), a digital coding system in which each decimal digit is represented using a 4-bit binary number. BCD arithmetic is widely used in digital systems where calculations must remain in decimal form, such as calculators, clocks, and display-based […]
This article explains clamper circuits from the ground up including their types, mathematical analysis, waveforms, working principle, differences, applications, and real-world design considerations. Clamper circuits are fundamental waveform-shaping networks used in electronics to shift the entire signal level either upward or downward without altering the overall shape of the waveform. Unlike clippers, which remove or […]
