TCM1060P Datasheet | Power Innovations Limited

description The TISP61060 is a dual forward-conducting buffered p-gate overvoltage protector. It is designed to protect monolithic SLICs (Subscriber Line Interface Circuits), against overvoltages on the telephone line caused by lightning, a.c. power contact and induction. The TISP61060 limits voltages that exceed the SLIC supply rail voltage. SD6XAE Terminals K1, K2 and A correspond to the alternative line designators of T, R and G or A, B and C. The negative protection voltage is controlled by the voltage, VGG, applied to the G terminal. The SLIC line driver section is typically powered from 0 V (ground) and a negative voltage in the region of -10 V to -70 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 track the negative supply voltage, the overvoltage stress on the SLIC is minimised. (see Applications Information). 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 current subsides the high holding current of the crowbar prevents d.c. latchup. PRODUCT INFORMATION Information is current as of publication date.
