Abstract:
A device may be for protection against overvoltages in a power supply line. The device may include a breakover diode, an avalanche diode coupled in series with the breakover diode, and a switch coupled in parallel with the breakover diode and the avalanche diode. The device may also include a circuit coupled across the avalanche diode and configured to control the switch.
