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. Products conform to specifications in accordance with the terms of Power Innovations standard warranty. Production processing does not necessarily include testing of all parameters. 1 TISP61060D, TISP61060P DUAL FORWARD-CONDUCTING P-GATE THYRISTORS PROGRAMMABLE OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTORS SEPTEMBER 1995 - REVISED SEPTEMBER 1997 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.
