TC04A-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 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. u u u u 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.

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. ã 2000 Semtech Corp. Battery Tip Ring Protecting SLIC with Integrated Ring Generator 4 www.semtech.com TC04A-200 PROTECTION PRODUCTS Applications Information (continued) 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. 16 2 15 3 14 4 13 5 12 6 11 7 10 8 9 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 systems 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. ã 2000 Semtech Corp. 1 5 Symb ol Parameter VDRM Reverse Stand -Off (Off-State) Voltage VS Sw itch ing Voltage VT On-State Voltage VC Reverse Clamp ing Voltage VF Diod e forw ard Voltage V CF Forw ard Clamp ing Voltage IDRM Reverse leakage (Off-State) Current IS Sw itch ing Current (Gate Triggering Current) IT On-State Current (Continuous) IH Hold ing Current I PP Peak Imp ulse Current www.semtech.com TC04A-200 PROTECTION PRODUCTS 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. ã 2000 Semtech Corp.
