A Zener diode can be used as an overvoltage protector that shunts fault current through ground via a current-limiting resistor (Figure 2). Note that the Zener protection is effective only if the Zener ...

The MAX16914 and MAX16915 over-voltage protection controllers employ a unique architecture that senses the input and output voltages of two back-to-back p-channel MOSFETs to provide over-voltage ...

Offering ESD and overvoltage protection, the SP72x Series SCR diode arrays guard telecom and datacom interface circuits such as microprocessor/logic inputs, data bus lines, and analog device inputs.
