DESCRIPTION
This device has been especially designed to pro-
tect new high voltage, as well as classical SLICs,
against transient overvoltages.
Positive overvoltages are clipped with 2 diodes.
Negative surges are suppressed by 2 thyris-
tors, their breakdown voltage being referenced
to -V
BAT
through the gate.
This component presents a very low gate trigge-
ring current (I
GT
) in order to reduce the current con-
sumption on printed circuit board during the firing
phase.
A particular attention has been given to the internal
wire bonding. The Kelvin method configuration en-
sures reliable protection, reducing the overvoltage
introduced by the parasitic inductances of the wir-
ing L x(dI/dt), especially for very fast transients.
