Multilayer SMD varistor
AV / AVY Series
Stackpole Electronics
e.g., anti-lock brakes, direct ignition, airbag control, wiper motors, etc. are
susceptible to damage from destructive voltage transients.
AV varistors are TVS chips that have suppression characteristics enabling
protection from -55ºC to +125ºC (+150ºC for AVY). These multilayer varistors
offer excellent transient energy absorption in a small package due to improved internal energy distribution. AV series parts require significantly smaller space and pad area than silicon TVS diodes, offering greater circuit board layout flexibility for designer.
