title: The impact of surface mount FeedThru varistors on medical circuit design.
abstract: MLVs are an effective tool for designers to meet next generation EMC requirements for medical devices. FeedThru MLVs give designers a new option for highly efficient ESD suppression because of their improved turn-on time characteristics. In addition, FeedThru MLVs give designers highly selective EMI filters to suppress unwanted frequency emissions or isolate the circuit from the frequency spectrum where susceptibility would be a concern.
