DESCRIPTION
This device has been especially designed to pro-
tect subscriber line card interfaces (SLIC) against
transient overvoltages.
Positive overloads are clipped with 2 diodes.
Negative surges are suppressed by 2 thyristors,
their breakdown voltage being referenced to
-V
BAT
through the gate.
This component presents a very low gate trigge-
ring current (I
GT
) in order to reduce the current con-
sumption on printed circuit board during the firing
phase.
A particular attention has beengiven to the internal
wire bonding. The ”4-point” configuration ensures
reliable protection, eliminating the overvoltage in-
troduced by the parasitic inductances of the wiring
(Ldi/dt), especially for very fast transients.

In order to take advantageof the ”4 point” structure
of the LCP, the TIP and RING lines go across the
device. In such case, the device will eliminate the
overvoltages generated by the parasitic induc-
tances of the wiring (Ldi/dt), especially for very fast
transients.

This is a GO-NO GO test which allows to confirm the holding current (I
H
) level in a functional test circuit.
TEST PROCEDURE :
- Adjust the current level at the I
H
value by short circuiting the D.U.T.
- Fire the D.U.T. with a surge current : I
PP
= 10A, 10/1000µs.
- The D.U.T. will come back to the off-state within a duration of 50ms max.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
LINE A PROTECTION :
– For positive surges versus GND, the diode D1
will conduct.
– For negative surges versus GND, the protection
device P1 will trigger at a voltage fixed by the
-V
BAT
reference.
LINE B PROTECTION :
– For surges on line B, the operating mode is the
same, D2 or P2 is activated.
It is recommended to add a capacitor (C=220nF)
close to the gate of the LCP, in order to speed up
the triggering.
