TPI
Tripolar protection for ISDN interfaces
Features
■ Bidirectional triple crowbar protection
■ Peak pulse current:
I
PP
= 30 A , 10/1000 µs
■ Breakdown voltage:
– TPI80N: 80 V
– TPI120N: 120 V
■ Available in SO-8 package
■ Low dynamic breakover voltage:
– TPI8011N: 120 V
– TPI12011N: 170 V
Benefits
■ Low capacitance from lines to ground, allowing
high speed transmission without signal
attenuation
■ Good capacitance balance between lines to
ensure longitudinal balance
■ Fixed breakdown voltage in both common and
differential modes
■ The same surge current capability in both
common and differential modes
■ A particular attention has been given to the
internal wire bonding. The “4-point”
configuration ensures a reliable protection,
eliminating overvoltages introduced by the
parasitic inductances of the wiring (Ld
I
/dt),
especially for very fast transient overvoltages
