A Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) is a circuit protection component that attenuates or filters transient voltage spikes (overvoltage). Upon surge arrival, it undergoes avalanche breakdown within a few nanoseconds, redirecting surge current to ground and clamping the voltage within a safe range, thereby providing highly effective voltage protection. Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) is a circuit protection component that either attenuates (reduces) or filters a transient voltage spike (overvoltage), TVS diodes provide critical protection by going into avalanche breakdown within no more than a few nanoseconds after a strike, clamping the transient voltage, and routing its current to the ground.
