Dual Low Capacitance TVS Array for
Telecom Line-Card Applications
PROTECTION PRODUCTS
Description
The LC05-6 has been specifically designed to protect
sensitive components which are connected to high-
speed telecommunications lines from over voltages
caused by
lightning,
electrostatic discharge
(ESD),
and
electrical fast transients
(EFT).
The device is in a JEDEC SO-16 NB package. It is
designed to provide metallic surge protection for two
tip & ring line pairs. The low capacitance topology
means signal integrity is preserved on high-speed lines.
The high surge capability (2000W, t
p
=8/20µs) makes
the LC05-6 suitable for telecommunications systems
operating in harsh transient environments.
The LC05-6 is designed to meet the lightning surge
requirements of Bellcore GR-1089 (intra-building), ITU
K.20, and IEC 61000-4-5. The features of the LC05-6
are ideal for protecting T1/E1 transceivers in WAN
applications.

Applications Information
Device Connection Options for Protection of Two
High-Speed Line Pairs
The LC05-6 is designed to protect four high-speed data
lines (two differential pairs) from transient over-volt-
ages which result from lightning and ESD. Protection
of two line pairs is achieved by connecting the device
as follows: Pins 1-4 are connected to line 1 of the first
pair (i.e. Tip 1) and pins 13-16 are connected to line 2
of the first pair (i.e. Ring 1). Pins 5-8 are connected to
line 1 of the second pair (i.e. Tip 2) and pins 9-12 are
connected to line 2 of the second pair (i.e. Ring 2). All
pins should be connected for best results. Minimize
parasitic inductance in the protection circuit path by
keeping the trace length between the protected line
and the LC05-6 as short as possible.
T1/E1 Linecard Protection
A typical T1/E1 linecard protection circuit is shown in
Figure 2. The LC05-6 is connected between Tip & Ring
on the transmit and receive line pairs. It provides
protection to metallic (line-to-line) lightning and ESD
surges. It is designed to meet the intra-building re-
quirements of Bellcore GR-1089. This design takes
advantage of the isolation of the transformer to
suppress common mode surges. To complete the
protection circuit, the SRDA05-4 (or SRDA3.3-4 for
3.3V supplies) is employed as the IC side protection
element. This device helps prevent the transceiver
from latching up by providing fine clamping of tran-
sients that are coupled through the transformer.
