Hi guys,
I am working on a design where I have a couple of analog (ADC) lines measuring a range between 0V and 3V3, and a couple of digital data lines transmitting/receiving 0V and 3V3 voltage levels, and I want to protect them from overvoltage.
Hence, I was wondering if you have any reference to read about different configurations for overvoltage protection of low-level- voltage analog and data lines. I am specially interested in advantages/ disadvantages of a zener diode connected between a data line and GND to clamp voltages to 3V3 compared to two standard diodes: one connected between data and GND and the other connected between data and 3V3 (both inversely polarized under normal conditions). Speed? Price?
Best Regards,
