  • Silicon is Silicon is Silicon...Not!
    Silicon avalanche suppressor diode (SASD) based surge protection devices (SPDs) provide better performance and longer life than the typical MOV (metal oxide varistor) SPDs.
  • Operating insurance (computer system protection)
    These data line surge suppressors are usually made up of silicon avalanche diodes andor gas surge arrestors.
  • Design and performance of surge suppressors
    Silicon avalanche diodes are used in a few of the more expensive surge suppressors .
  • TRANSIENT PROTECTION, GROUNDING, AND SHIELDING OF ELECTRONIC TRAFFIC CONTROL EQUIPMENT
    MOV's have higher surge energy handling capa- bilities than comparably sized bypass capacitors, silicon ava- lanche suppressors , or zener diodes .
  • ATSI
    The ATSI SST-450 Surge Suppressor Tester is designed to quickly and easily test all commonly used transient voltage suppressors : metal-oxide varistors (MOVs), gas-discharge tubes (GDTs), silicon avalanche diodes (SADs), thyristor surge protective devices (TSPDs), and hybrid devices.
  • Varistor
    The ATSI SST-450 Surge Suppressor Tester is designed to quickly and easily test all commonly used transient voltage suppressors : metal-oxide varistors (MOVs), gas-discharge tubes (GDTs), silicon avalanche diodes (SADs), thyristor surge protective devices (TSPDs), and hybrid devices.
  • IEEE Recommended Practice for Powering and Grounding Electronic Equipment - Redline
    Regardless of the technology used, it is also important that there is some indication when a component of the surge suppressor has failed and is no longer protecting the load. SAD: The silicon avalanche diode has a very tight voltage clamp characteristic, a very fast response speed, but very low energy (surge current) capability.
