Confusion about negative clampinng voltage of unidirectional TVS diodes
In figure 5, the origins of both axes are near the bottom left. The TVS does not break down until 10.5 V, but then the voltage drop reduces to about 1.5 V and rises again with rising current.
In ...

Lightning Protection for RF (L-Band or higher)
In general usage, we know that GDTs are slower than TVSs. It is necessary to use a TBU (HSP-High Speed Protector) as a buffer element to ensure the GDT operates first and to suppress the residual ...

TVS Diode Clamping voltage less than breakdown voltage
A TVS diode with snapback behaviour has different semiconductor structure than a "regular" TVS.
Regular TVS uses a P-N junction or actually many of those.
Snapback TVS is structured almost ...

Lightning Protection for RF (L-Band or higher)
WRT to the DCB its hard to block DC while passing RF with minimal loss. The broadcast people always liked a shorted quarter wave stub. At FM radio frequencies the losses are essentially zero. Look ...

Difference between clamp and clip circuit
There seems to be a confusion in the question. It is comparing two different types of diode circuits: a simple DC clipper and a more complex AC+DC clamper. Let's break them down.
Clipper circuit
Basic ...
