avalanche diode [′av·ə‚lanch ′dī‚ōd] (electronics) A semiconductor breakdown diode, usually made of silicon, in which avalanche breakdown occurs across the entirepnjunction and voltage drop is then essentially constant and independent of current; the two most important types are IMPATT and TRAPATT diodes.

The EPD process enables low standoff voltages while exhibiting lower leakage currents and lower capacitance over traditional silicon avalanche diode processes. The TVS diodes in the RClamp3304N are constructed using Semtech's proprietary Enhanced Punch-through Diode (EPD) process technology that provides low standoff voltages and enables very low leakage currents and capacitance over traditional silicon avalanche diode processes. Nasdaq NM:SMTC) Tuesday announced a new member of its RailClamp Series of silicon avalanche diode arrays that provides a simple, low-cost solution for protecting microcontrollers or other electronic components from the damaging effects of voltage surges via high speed external data lines and interfaces. |
