I was wondering if anyone knew how to choose a TVS diode.
They have spec'd "reverse standoff voltage", "breakdown voltage" and "direction" (uni or bi directional).
If I have a 5V Vcc do i want "reverse standoff voltage" or "breakdown voltage" above 5V?
Why would I ever want a bidirectional diode? that sounds like a horrible idea.
