description
The TISP61089A is a dual forward-conducting
Terminals K1, K2 and A correspond to the alternative
buffered p-gate overvoltage protector. It is
line designators of T, R and G or A, B and C. The
negative protection voltage is controlled by the voltage,
designed to protect monolithic SLICs (Subscriber
V
GG,
applied to the G terminal.
Line Interface Circuits) against overvoltages on
the telephone line caused by lightning, a.c.
power contact and induction. The TISP61089A limits voltages that exceed the SLIC supply rail voltage. The
TISP61089A parameters are specified to allow equipment compliance with Bellcore GR-1089-CORE,
Issue 1.
The SLIC line driver section is typically powered from 0 V (ground) and a negative voltage in the region of
-10 V to -100 V. The protector gate is connected to this negative supply. This references the protection
(clipping) voltage to the negative supply voltage. As the protection voltage will then track the negative supply
voltage the overvoltage stress on the SLIC is minimised.

PROGRAMMABLE OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTORS

Positive overvoltages are clipped to ground by diode forward conduction. Negative overvoltages are initially
clipped close to the SLIC negative supply rail value. If sufficient current is available from the overvoltage, then
the protector will crowbar into a low voltage on-state condition. As the overvoltage subsides the high holding
current of the crowbar prevents d.c. latchup.
The TISP61089A is intended to be used with a series combination of a 25
Ω
or higher resistance and a
suitable overcurrent protector. Power fault compliance requires the series overcurrent element to open-circuit
or become high impedance (see Applications Information). For equipment compliant to ITU-T
recommendations K20 or K21 only, the series resistor value is set by the power cross requirements. For K20
and K21, a minimum series resistor value of 10
Ω
is recommended.
These monolithic protection devices are fabricated in ion-implanted planar vertical power structures for high
reliability and in normal system operation they are virtually transparent. The TISP61089A buffered gate
design reduces the loading on the SLIC supply during overvoltages caused by power cross and induction.
The TISP61089A is available in 8-pin plastic small-outline surface mount package and 8-pin plastic dual-in-
line package.

2. The rated current values may be applied either to the Ring to Ground or to the Tip to Ground terminal pairs. Additionally, both

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
gated protectors
This section covers three topics. Firstly, it is explained why gated protectors are needed. Second, the voltage
limiting action of the protector is described. Third, an example application circuit is described.
purpose of gated protectors
Fixed voltage thyristor overvoltage protectors have been used since the early 1980s to protect monolithic
SLICs (Subscriber Line Interface Circuits) against overvoltages on the telephone line caused by lightning, a.c.
power contact and induction. As the SLIC was usually powered from a fixed voltage negative supply rail, the
limiting voltage of the protector could also be a fixed value. The TISP1072F3 is a typical example of a fixed
voltage SLIC protector.
SLICs have become more sophisticated. To minimise power consumption, some designs automatically adjust
the supply voltage, V
BAT
, to a value that is just sufficient to drive the required line current. For short lines the
supply voltage would be set low, but for long lines, a higher supply voltage would be generated to drive
sufficient line current. The optimum protection for this type of SLIC would be given by a protection voltage
which tracks the SLIC supply voltage. This can be achieved by connecting the protection thyristor gate to the
SLIC supply, Figure 3. This gated (programmable) protection arrangement minimises the voltage stress on
the SLIC, no matter what value of supply voltage.
