description
The R3612 is a dual forward-conducting buffered
p-gate over voltage protector in a plastic DIP
package. It is designed to protect the Ericsson
Components PBA 3357/3 DCLIC (Dual Channel
Complete Line Interface Circuit) against over
voltages on the telephone line caused by
lightning, a.c. power contact and induction. The
R3612 limits voltages that exceed the DCLIC
supply rail voltage.
The DCLIC line driver section is powered from
0 V (ground) and a negative voltage in the region
of -44 V to -56 V. The protector gate is connected
to this negative supply. This references the
protection (clipping) voltage to the negative
supply voltage. As the protection voltage will
track the negative supply voltage the over
voltage stress on the DCLIC is minimised.
Positive over voltages are clipped to ground by a
low voltage overshoot diode. Negative over
voltages are initially clipped close to the DCLIC
negative supply rail value. If sufficient current is
available from the over voltage, then the
protector will crowbar into a low voltage on-state
condition. As the over voltage subsides the high
holding current of the crowbar prevents d.c.
latchup.
The buffered gate design reduces the loading on
the DCLIC supply during over voltages caused

characteristic is designed to produce a net
current drain on the interface circuit voltage
supply during low level power cross or induction.
This removes the need for a separate clamping
diode across the voltage supply.
