  • SPARK GAPS WITH MULTIPLE TRIGGER VOLTAGES FOR ELECTRICAL OVERSTRESS DETECTION AND PROTECTION
    Publication number: 20250030237
    Abstract: Apparatuses including spark gap structures for electrical overstress (EOS) monitoring or protection, and associated methods, are disclosed. In an aspect, a vertical spark gap device includes a substrate having a horizontal main surface and a plurality of pairs of conductive layers over the horizontal main surface. Different ones of the pairs are separated by different vertical distances such that each pair serves as an arcing electrode pair and different ones of the arcing electrode pairs are configured to arc discharge at different voltages.

  • Vertical centering control circuit
    Patent number: 3944881
    Abstract: Utilization of a diode in the input of the vertical deflection drive amplifier serves to render the amplifier insensitive to power supply variation and shortens the response time of the amplifier to changes in the vertical centering circuit. In one embodiment the diode is connected in series with the variable terminal of the centering potentiometer in the input of the vertical drive amplifier. In a second embodiment, wherein the vertical deflection drive amplifier includes a differential amplifier, the diode is connected to one input of the amplifier and the centering circuit is connected to the second input of the amplifier. In both embodiments the diode forms part of a time constant circuit which controls the linearity of the sweep signal applied to the input of the amplifier and also controls the response time of the amplifier to DC voltage level change.
