description
The TISP83121D is a dual-gate reverse-blocking
unidirectional thyristor designed for the
protection of dual-voltage ringing SLICs
(Subscriber Line Interface Circuits) against
overvoltages on the telephone line caused by
lightning, a.c. power contact and induction.

supply from being shorted when the
TISP83121D crowbars.
Under low level power cross conditions the
TISP83121D gate current will charge the gate
reference supply. If the reference supply cannot
absorb the charging current its potential will
increase, possibly to damaging levels. To avoid
excessive voltage levels a clamp (zener or
avalanche breakdown diode) may be added in
shunt with the supply. Alternatively, a grounded
collector emitter-follower may be used to reduce
the charging current by the transistors HFE value.
The device chip is a four-layer NPNP silicon
thyristor structure which has an electrode
connection to every layer. For negative
overvoltage protection the TISP83121D is used
in a common anode configuration with the
voltage to be limited applied to the cathode (K)
terminal and the negative reference potential
applied to the gate 1 (G1) terminal. For positive
overvoltage protection the TISP83121D is used
in a common cathode configuration with the
voltage to be limited applied to the anode (A)
terminal and the positive reference potential
applied to the gate 2 (G2) terminal.
This monolithic protection device is made with a
ion-implanted epitaxial-planar technology to give
a consistent protection performance and be
virtually transparent to the system in normal
operation.
The TISP83121D is a unidirectional protector
and to prevent reverse bias, requires the use of a
series diode between the protected line
conductor and the protector. Further, the gate
