Taming the Transients: On-Demand Webinar.

Modern connected systems (industrial, telecom, USB-PD, etc.) are increasingly subject to more frequent and more severe transient surge events. Traditional surge protection methods—especially TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diodes—are often insufficient for newer challenges in high speed and high power designs.

This on-demand webinar discusses how designs must contend with real-world transient conditions, not just ideal lab conditions. Environmental factors, system layout, speed of switching, power levels, parasitics, and unpredicted surge sources all affect protection effectiveness.

 

Why Watch On-Demand

If you’re an engineer (hardware, systems, power electronics, reliability, telecom, industrial design etc.), here’s why this webinar is worth your time:

• Learn where traditional surge protection fails: Gain understanding of the limitations of established solutions (like TVS diodes) in modern applications. This helps avoid pitfalls in design or unexpected failures in the field.
  
  

• Get up to speed on modern architectures (e.g. FET-based): These newer protection methods (SurgeSwitch™, etc.) aren’t just incremental improvements—they can offer fundamentally better performance under demanding conditions (higher speed, higher power, more transient sources). Knowing how and when to apply them is a competitive edge.
  
  

• Design for real, harsh environments: It’s one thing to design in ideal or lab settings; it’s another to make a system survive and operate reliably in industrial or telecom settings, with lightning surges, switching noise, long cable runs, etc. The webinar gives insight into what to expect and how to account for it.
  
  

• Future-proof your systems: As systems become more connected (IoT, edge devices, electrification, etc.), surge events will be more common and more complex. Understanding evolving protection strategies now means fewer redesigns, fewer field failures, and better reliability.
  
  

• Practical, actionable info: Because this is a conversation with a technical expert (Dr. Anindita Bhattacharya of Semtech), you’ll hear not only theory but real design guidelines, component trade-offs, and examples. You can take away things to apply immediately in your current / upcoming designs.
  
  

• Cost vs reliability trade‐offs & decision making: You will see discussion about balancing protection level vs cost, space, power consumption, and speed. That helps you make more informed decisions when choosing protection components (or when pushing back on specs / budgets).
