High Temperature MLVs and Low Capacitance MLVs Improve Auto Designs and Reliability
Multilayer varistors (MLVs) have long been an ideal solution for low power circuitry and sensor applications due to their inherent low current leakage characteristic, which can be as low as a few nanoamps. MLV off state capacitance is also a compelling advantage to designers since it provides a broad range of EMI filtering.
