description
The TCM1030 and TCM1060 dual transient-voltage suppressors are designed specifically for telephone
line-card protection against lightning and transients (voltage transients) induced by ac lines. One of the TIP
terminals (pin 1 or 8) and one of the RING terminals (pin 4 or 5) are connected to the tip and ring circuits of a
SLIC (subscriber-line interface circuit). The battery feed connections between the SLIC and the subscriber line
are from the remaining TIP (pin 1 or 8) and RING (pin 4 or 5) through the TCM1030 or the TCM1060 to the tip
and ring lines. Transients are suppressed between tip and ground, and ring and ground.
Positivetransients are clamped by diodes D1 and D2. Negative transients that are more negative than V cause
S
the SCRs, Q1 and Q2, to crowbar. The high holding current of the SCRs prevent dc latchup as the transient
subsides.
The TCM1030 and TCM1060 are characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C.
