Transient Voltage Suppressors (TVS) are specialized zener diodes intended to clamp the voltage appearing across a line, thereby prevenTIng transient spikes from damaging sensiTIve components. They accomplish this conducTIng.when the voltage across the line exceeds the Zener-avalanche raTIng. Because transient voltages can be quite high, suppressors must be able to handle large avalanche

currents.
