description
The TISP61511D and TISP61512P are dual
forward-conducting buffered p-gate overvoltage
protectors. They are designed to protect
monolithic Subscriber Line Interface Circuits,
SLICs, against overvoltages on the telephone
line caused by lightning, ac power contact and
induction. The TISP61511D and TISP61512P
limit voltages that exceed the SLIC supply rail
voltage.

SD6XAE
Terminals K1, K2 and A correspond to the alternative
line designators of T, R and G or A, B and C. The
negative protection voltage is controlled by the voltage,
V
GG,
applied to the G terminal.
The SLIC line driver section is typically powered
from 0 V (ground) and a negative voltage in the region of -10 V to -70 V. The protector gate is connected to
this negative supply. This references the protection (clipping) voltage to the negative supply voltage. As the
protection voltage will track the negative supply voltage the overvoltage stress on the SLIC is minimised.
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.
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. The buffered gate design reduces the
loading on the SLIC supply during overvoltages caused by power cross and induction.

DEVICE PARAMETERS
general
Thyristor based overvoltage protectors, for telecommunications equipment, became popular in the late
1970s. These were fixed voltage breakover triggered devices, likened to solid state gas discharge tubes. As
these were new forms of thyristor, the existing thyristor terminology did not cover their special characteristics.
This resulted in the invention of new terms based on the application usage and device characteristic. Initially,
there was a wide diversity of terms to describe the same thing, but today the number of terms have reduced
and stabilised.
Programmable, (gated), overvoltage protectors are relatively new and require additional parameters to
specify their operation. Similarly to the fixed voltage protectors, the introduction of these devices has resulted
in a wide diversity of terms to describe the same thing. To help promote an understanding of the terms and
their alternatives, this section has a list of alternative terms and the parameter definitions used for this data
sheet. In general, the Texas Instruments approach is to use terms related to the device internal structure,
rather than its application usage as a single device may have many applications each using a different
terminology for circuit connection.
alternative symbol cross-reference guide
This guide is intended to help the translation of alternative symbols to those used in this data sheet. As in
some cases the alternative symbols have no substance in international standards and are not fully defined by
the originators, users must confirm symbol equivalence. No liability will be assumed from the use of this
guide.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
electrical characteristics
The electrical characteristics of a thyristor overvoltage protector are strongly dependent on junction
temperature, T
J
. Hence a characteristic value will depend on the junction temperature at the instant of
measurement. The values given in this data sheet were measured on commercial testers, which generally
minimise the temperature rise caused by testing.
application circuit
Figure 3 shows a typical TISP6151xx SLIC card protection circuit. The incoming line wires, R and T, connect
to the relay matrix via the series over-current protection. Fusible resistors, fuses and positive temperature
coefficient (PTC) resistors can be used for over-current protection. Resistors will reduce the prospective
current from the surge generator for both the TISP6151xx and the ring/test protector. The TISP7xxxF3
protector has the same protection voltage for any terminal pair. This protector is used when the ring generator
configuration maybe ground or battery-backed. For dedicated ground-backed ringing generators, the
TISP3xxxF3 gives better protection as its inter-wire protection voltage is twice the wire to ground value.
Relay contacts 3a and 3b connect the line wires to the SLIC via the TISP6151xx protector. The protector gate
reference voltage comes from the SLIC negative supply (V
BAT
). A 220 nF gate capacitor sources the high
gate current pulses caused by fast rising impulses.
