ABSTRACT:
A system for protecting an electronic device from an electrical event such as electrostatic discharge and other spurious events according to one embodiment of the present invention includes first and second leads adapted for passing an electric current through an electronic device, a first diode protection mechanism coupled to the leads such that the first diode protection mechanism is connected in parallel with the electronic device when the leads are coupled to the electronic device, and a second diode protection mechanism coupled in series with the electronic device when the leads are coupled to the electronic device.
