TYPICAL APPLICATION : T1 / E1 protection
The above schematic shows a T1 / E1 application
circuit. This type of line protection may be used in
premises
equipment
or
equipment on ports directly connected to metallic
plantlines.

During the lightning surge, the low voltage Trisil
SMP75-8
provides an efficient crowbar protection
on the primary sideof the transformer.
The SMP75-8 has a maximum peak pulse current
of 75A (10/1000
μ
s pulse) and a maximum
breakover voltage of 15V. This low voltage
prevents the transformer to be satured when a
surge occurs on the line. Additionally, the low
capacitance(65pF) is requiredto avoid significant
signaldegradationin thecase of highspeeddigital
pulses.
To protectthe IC line interfacefrom the remaining
energy which is coupledthrough the transformer,
additional voltage protection is recommended on
the line input / output pins of the IC. The diode
array DA108S1 connected between +Vcc and
GND is then
used to limit the
overvoltagewithin a safe level.
The DA108S1 is especially dedicated to this
application because. Its fast response time and
low forward voltage drop enable it to clamp any
surge before the
IC line
protection fails. Additionally, the low capacitance
(30pF)is requiredto preventsignal degradationof
thehigh speeddatd.
The DA108S1 is a fully integrated (1 chip) device
and results from the ST ASD

combine
the functions of several components into a single
monolithicdevice that is tailored to meet the exact
requirement of a specific application, allowing
higherdensity and improvedreliability.
