PROTECTION PRODUCTS
Description
Features
The battery tracking TransClamp series of transient
voltage suppressors (TVS) are designed to protect
subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC) from transient
voltages resulting from lightning strikes and AC power
line disturbances. The TC04A-200 integrates all the
components necessary to protect SLIC ICs from line to
ground for positive and negative transients.
u Transient protection for telecommunications lines to
For negative transient events, the TVS thyristor will
crowbar or “fire” when the line voltage exceeds the
gate reference voltage. The gate voltage is referenced
to the battery voltage ( -VBAT ) plus the VF of the series
rectifier. The device firing voltage range is -5V to
-100V. For positive transients, the surge-rated rectifiers will be forward biased, shunting the current to
ground. An external capacitor is used to aid in gate
triggering during fast rise time transients.
The device may be used to protect any SLIC including
those with integrated ring generators.

These devices are designed to meet industry standard
transient immunity requirements such as Bellcore TRNWT-001089, FCC Part 68, ITU K17-K20, and IEC
61000-4-5. The integrated design saves board space
and increases equipment reliability by replacing multiple discrete components.

Applications Information
SLIC protection Concepts
SLIC Operating Voltages (Unbalanced Ringing)
Transient immunity standards require telecommunications equipment be surged in all of its operating states.
This refers to the “on-hook” state (ring generator or
ring detection monitoring) and the “off-hook” state
(operational state). The On-Hook state must allow for
operation of the normal battery voltage and ring
voltage without interference. The Off-Hook state only
allows for operation of the battery voltage plus operation signals.
Several SLIC types exist. The first type of SLIC requires
an external ring relay to disconnect the SLIC and
connect the ringing and trip bias power supply generating the ringing signal. Protection must be provided for
the subsystem which includes the ringing relay and
ringing source. This type of ringing is sometimes called
unbalanced ringing. The ringing voltage is typically
inserted on the Ring (B-lead), while the Tip (A-lead) is
grounded. The SLIC may or may not be protected by
the ringing subsystem protection. Separate subsystem
protection may be needed and must have a minimum
operating voltage that exceeds the battery voltage and
the ring signal voltage. The SLIC IC is disconnected
from the line and the ring generator and does not see
the ringing voltages. Therefore, the protection element
for the SLIC must only have a minimum operating
voltage greater than the battery supply voltage. This
device must suppress all transients above ground and
below the battery voltage.
Balanced Ringing
0V
The second SLIC type has an integrated ring generation
capability. The protection device described in this
application information is particularly suited for use
with this SLIC type. Unlike the unbalanced system
described above, these SLIC devices generate a
balanced ring signal between Tip & Ring. The voltage on
either line falls between the battery voltage and
ground. Therefore, the SLIC protection device can have
an operating voltage that is very close to the battery
voltage. Since battery voltages may vary between talk
and ringing states, it is desirable to utilize a programmable protection device so that the voltage across the
SLIC does not exceed the process limits and the stress
on the device is minimized.

Operation of Battery Tracking TransClamp™
TC04 Connection Diagram
Telecommunications lines are vulnerable to transient
disturbances from a variety of sources. Disturbances
strike the line or near it and are then propagated to
the extremities of the lines where sensitive electronics
are located. The TransClamp series of thyristor surge
suppressors are designed to protect sensitive telecommunications equipment from transient voltages resulting from lightning strikes and AC power line disturbances.
The TC04A-200 utilizes internal diodes connected from
each line to ground provide protection from positive
overvoltages. During a positive duration transient,
these internal diodes are forward biased shunting the
transient current to ground. The voltage seen by the
protected IC will be the forward clamping voltage (VCF)
of the diode. A gated TVS thyristor provides protection
against negative surges. When the voltage on the Tip
or Ring line falls below the reference voltage at the
gate, the triggering diode begins to conduct forcing the
TVS thyristor to crowbar (turn-on) to a low on-state
voltage. The current required to trigger the thyristor is
defined as the switching current (IS). The maximum
voltage seen by the protected IC will be the switching
voltage (VS). Once the transient subsides, the device
will return to a high impedance (off-state) when the line
current falls below the holding current (IH). The high
holding current of the TC04 prevents d.c. latch-up
because the holding current is higher than the SLIC
can source.

TC04 IV Characteristic Curve
Protecting One SLIC Line Pair
The TC04A-200 battery tracking TransClamp is specifically designed to protect subscriber line interface
circuits (SLICs). The protection voltage of the device is
referenced to the system’s DC battery voltage. Therefore, the protection voltage will be essentially the same
as the SLIC supply voltage, minimizing the stress on
the protected device. The TC04A-200 may be referenced to battery voltages ranging from -5V to -100V.
Pins 1-4 are connected to Tip line or A-lead and pins
13-16 are connected to the Ring line or B-lead. The
battery feed voltage source is connected to the gate of
the internal SCRs at pins 6 & 11. Pins 7-10 are
connected to ground. All ground pins should be connected for best results. A 0.1µF capacitor is recommended between the gate & ground to speed up the
triggering of the device.

Typical Applications
Protecting Multiple SLIC Lines
The TC04A-200 may be used in conjunction with
steering diodes to protect up to four SLIC Tip & Ring
line pairs. The steering diodes shunt positive surges to
ground. The internal diodes of the TC04A-200 may be
used as one of the steering diode pairs as shown. In
this configuration, each line pair may be suged to 100A
(tp=10/100µs) independantly, or all four pairs may be
surged simultaneously up to 25A (tp=10/100µs). This
provides the designer with a flexible, cost effective
solution and increased reliability over low current
protection schemes. The surge immunity of the system
may be further enhanced with the addition of line feed
resistors (LFR). These devices are used for power
cross protection and are designed to withstand lightning impulses per Bellcore GR-1089. Device with
resistance values ranging from of 10W - 50W are
common. A 0.1µF capacitor is recommended between
the gate & ground to speed up the triggering the
device.
Note that the sum of the loop currents must not
exceed the holding current of the TC04A-200. In the
case of four twisted pairs, the individual loop currents
would have to be limited to 50mA.
