I recently had an ESD failure at 25KV in air with a network of 330pf 2oooR, Passed at 150pf 2000R
One of the components blow with was protected by a tvs diode PESD5VL1BA, this is spec'ed to >23kv. When I tested the tvs was fine but my analogue gate failed.
Is it possible that the tvs diode is not up to the job . I could replace it with a PESD5VS1BA which is spec'ed to >25kv.?
If a tvs diode gets a pulse too high will it not reduce the pulse correctly?
