In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, the concept of smart buildings has moved from futuristic vision to present reality. Connected spaces are revolutionizing how we interact with our built environment, offering unprecedented levels of efficiency, comfort and sustainability. Let's explore how technologies are driving this transformation. 

In modern telecommunications and industrial automation systems, equipment is frequently deployed in challenging environments, exposing it to voltage transients that can originate from sources such as motor switching, power line fluctuations, indirect lightning strikes, electrostatic buildup, and human-induced Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)) events. These transients pose significant risks, ranging from data corruption to catastrophic system failures, leading to costly downtime and repairs. As industrial and telecom systems become increasingly interconnected, safeguarding sensitive electronics from ESD and other transient voltage events is crucial. Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes provide a robust first line of defense by rapidly diverting excess energy to ground, as illustrated in Figure 1, with sub-nanosecond response times to clamp voltage spikes and protect critical components. 

On March 25, 2025, Semtech participated in the "Low-Power 1.6T Datacom Transceivers and the Path to 3.2T" webinar hosted by Cignal AI. The session brought together leaders from top companies such as Arista, Lumentum and Marvellto explore the latest advancements in optical transceiver technology.
