Then knowing he needed 4 mA to power each LED for backlighting he used some 1978 vintage current limiting diodes designed to pass 2mA each regardless of voltage source, within limits of course.

Diode connected to the power supply Figure 1 shows an example of an amplifier with diodes connected between the input pins and the supplies. The diodes are reverse biased under normal operating ...

I need a circuit to limit the voltage across some dissipation limited devices. It must: limit the voltage to a maximum of 1.5 V, have symmetrical limiting, be capable of accepting a current of 2 A, ...

The highest current version, CDCLD500, has a limiting voltage of 0.9V and reaches its nominal current at 2V applied (right). Central compares this with a 350mA JFET constant current diode with a ...

At high current density, the heat transfer could be the major limiting factor for the performance of organic diodes. The breakdown voltage in reverse bias is higher than 30 V.

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Announces Ultra-Low Reverse Working Voltage TVS Diode for USB4 and Thunderbolt 4 ESD Protection ...

R1 and R2 contribute to the protection by limiting some current between the voltage developed across the TVS diode and the output of the driver.

Most common current-limiting implementations have a voltage drop that’s too high for today's systems with their low-voltage supply rails; this design with its far lower voltage drop is a better fit.

The input voltage is no longer limited by the protection diodes clamped to the supply rails. The limiting factor is now the maximum voltage rating of the switch. Higher system robustness and ...
