Application Note Smart Meter

Smart Meter Input Stage

Diotec offers several semiconductor solutions dedicated for Smart Meter needs. Take the example of input rectifier stage; it is connected directly to the landline and thus highly affected by excessive voltage peaks caused by lightning strikes. No matter if you prefer single diodes connected in series, avalanche rated rectifiers or Diotec‘s brand new 3000 V diodes: we offer you any solution according to your requirements.

ESD Protection Diodes for High-speed Signal Interfaces

This application note is about choosing suitable diodes for high-speed signal interfaces. One of the major industry trends towards smaller chip size and higher data rate de- creases chip tolerance to any voltage transient surge events. Therefore, electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diodes play a bigger role than before. In addition, designers are no longer relying on the internal capability of the semiconductor components, but on an external protection added to eliminate the risk against any voltage transient events.
