Answer by Voltage Spike for Enhancing TVS diode circuit
Can the shown figure actually be compared to a TVS diode?A TVS has a similar function as two regular diodes, but the ESD current can be shunted to ground instead of one of the rails. The diagram above...

TVS diodes are multi- and single-purpose depending line impedance and energy absorption levels.The part you showed has a differential line with a full-wave bridge and a power Zener.vs.The block diagram...

Can the shown figure actually be compared to a TVS diode?It can be compared to the TVS diode array you referenced. Both work by having diodes to prevent the signal level from exceeding the power rails...

The drawing in your post does not show a TVS diode, but does have a diode array clamping to the power-rail (positive polarity) or GND. You can look at an app note (here is an OnSemi one). Usually TVS...

Enhancing TVS diode circuit
I was reading into Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineering by Henry W. Ott about ESD protections and I was interested by the following part.First, a series resistor (or ferrite) added in front of the...
