AVX’s 0201 case size Multi-Layer Varistors (MLVs) offer a significant size advantage over competing diode TVS technology. Diode TVS devices typically employ external MLCC EMC capacitors as off state EMI filters while MLVs require no external components. Additionally, the 0201 MLV has a higher transient peak current capability, faster turn on, and excellent repetitive transient strike capability over diodes. AVX’s 0201 MLVs are RoHS compliant and can be processed under current industry processing methods.
