L7591 Datasheet | Lucent Technologies

Features Description s Shunts lightning pulses to ground - Positive or negative 30 A, 10 x 1000 µs - Positive or negative 40 A, 5 x 320 µs - Positive or negative 80 A, 2 x 10 µs s Power-cross protection - 3.5 APEAK, 50 Hz to 60 Hz, 1 s - 5.0 APEAK, 50 Hz to 60 Hz, 10 ms s Gate trigger current, 15 m A max s Up to - 80 V capability s Holding current, 150 m A min Pin Information The L7591 Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC) Protector is designed to protect line-feed circuitry from fault-induced lightning and power-cross surge pulses. If a fault current forces TIP and/or RING to a more negative voltage than VS, current is conducted through the trip circuit. When the specified trip current level is reached, transistors PNPN1 and/or PNPN2 will turn on and "crowbar" the majority of the current to ground. If similar pulses force TIP and/or RING to a more positive state than ground, diodes D1...
