TC03A-200 ™ Battery Tracking TransClamp™ For SLIC Linecard Protection PRELIMINARY PROTECTION PRODUCTS Description Features The battery tracking TransClamp series of transient voltage suppressors (TVS) are designed to protect subscriber line interface circuits (SLIC) from transient voltages resulting from lightning strikes and AC power line disturbances. The TC03A-200 integrates all the components necessary to protect SLIC ICs from line to ground for positive and negative transients. ! 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. External diodes are used to shunt positive transients to ground. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Mechanical Characteristics ! JEDEC SOT-89 package ! Molding compound flammability rating: 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 high surge capability is advantageous in harsh environments, and offers better reliability than "low surge" rated devices.

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. 2000 Semtech Corp. Battery 4 Tip Ring www.semtech.com TCO3A-200 PRELIMINARY PRELIMINARY PROTECTION PRODUCTS Applications Information (continued) Protecting One SLIC Line Pair TC03 Connection Diagram The TC03A-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 TC03A-200 may be referenced to battery voltages ranging from -5V to -100V. Pin 1 is connected to the line (A-lead or B-lead). The battery feed voltage source is connected to the gate of the internal SCR at pin 3. Pin 2 is connected to ground. A 0.1µF capacitor is recommended between the gate & ground to speed up the triggering of the device. 1 2 3 LINE GND GATE Protecting Multiple SLIC Lines The TC03A-200 may be used in conjunction with steering diodes to protect up to two SLIC Tip & Ring line pairs. The steering diodes shunt positive surges to ground. In this configuration, each line pair may be surged to 100A (tp=10/100µs) independantly, or all four pairs may be surged simultaneously up to 50A (tp=10/100µs). This provides the designer with a flexible, cost effective solution and increased reliability over low current protection schemes.
