What is diode clamping?

There are a couple types of diode clamping-- A P-N diode was often used for clamping coils of relays that produce high voltages when the relays is de-energized. Bidirectional zeners are now the best solution. Diode clamping is also a term used to limit voltage excursions generally. Zener diodes are generally used for this purpose.

Difference between unidirectional and bidirectional TVs diode?

Unidirectional TVS: A TVS device with asymmetrical current versus voltage (I−V) properties. A unidirectional TVS is best suited for protecting circuit nodes whose signals are unidirectional or always above or below the reference voltage, usually ground. Bidirectional TVS: A TVS device with symmetrical I−V properties. A bidirectional TVS is best suited for protecting electrical nodes whose signals are bidirectional or can have voltage levels both above and below the reference voltage, usually ground
