DO-214AA Modified TO-220 A SIEBE COMPANY 1801 HURD DRIVE IRVING, TEXAS 75038-4385 PHONE 214/580-1515 FAX 214/550-1309 MT1 MT2 General information The Teccor SIDACtor is a transient overvoltage protector with clamping voltage ranges of 27 to 540 volts. The SIDAC- tor can also be supplied in multiple-chip packages. Surge current ratings are from 50 amps to 100 amps (10X1000us). Upon application of a voltage exceeding the SIDACtor break- over voltage point, the SIDACtor switches on through a negative or positive resistance region to a low on-state voltage. Conduction will continue until the current is inter- rupted or drops below the minimum holding current of the device. If your electronic equipment is being protected by zener diodes, gas discharge tubes, MOVs or other types of protec- tors, you are taking unnecessary risks. The Teccor SIDACtor offers longer life and faster response than other types of protection. The bidirectional SIDACtor is ideal for protecting electronic equipment (telecommunications, computers, instrumenta- tion, etc.) from lightning, line transients, and other damaging high voltage spikes. The SIDACtor can be tailored to meet specific application requirements. The SIDACtor is faster than other currently-used devices or methods and is able to respond without voltage overshoot. Conventional gas discharge tubes, carbon arrestors, and MOV's are all slow to respond and allow significant voltage spikes above the clamping voltage before they begin to conduct. The SIDACtor is as fast as a zener diode, while offering a much lower impedance during conduction. SIDAC- tors can handle much more current and they are bidirec- tional. Teccors unique multi-chip packaging also offers complete protection of all circuit legs with a single package. SIDACtor (27 - 540 volts) The SIDACtor is normally connected between the high side of the circuit to be protected and common. As long as the voltage being monitored remains below the specified level, the SIDACtor presents a high off-state impedance (leakage current < 5yA). When the monitored voltage exceeds the specified level (clamping voltage), the SIDACtor starts clamping in nanoseconds. The SIDACtor will continue to conduct until the current is interrupted or drops below the minimum holding current of the device. SIDACtors do not degrade with time. bias, operations or surges within the device ratings. SIDACtors fails short circuit when the surge current exceeds the devices rated Ippor Itsm. Tape-and-reel packaging is available for both TO-92 and TO-220 packages; embossed carrier reel packing for DO- 214AA. Please consult the factory for more information.

Table 4-2, First Level Lightning Surge tests (Telecommunications Port). There are designs and designers that prefer or require overvoltage protection devices that can withstand all 5 surges of Table 4-2 without the use of any series resistance (02). Meeting the challange, Teccor has developed devices specifically to pass operationally all 5 surges of Table 4-2. Teccor recommends the following Special Devices: P25 P3203AB, P282 P3002AB, P272 P1500SA or P23 P1500EA70. These devices are rated with an Ipp surge of 100 amp 10x1000us and 500 amp 2x10us (Surge #4). Note: (1)A standard SIDACtor with a 100 amp 10x1000us surye rating may be used, but an RTip = 120 and RRing = 129 minimum is required to pass Surge #4 operationally. The 12Q limits Surge #4 rise time to within the devices di/dt rating. AN1013 SLIC (Subscriber Line Interface Circuit) SLICs (Subscriber Line Interface Circuits) are normally op- erated from a nominal -50VDC supply (with respect to ground), located behind the ring generator or ring detectian circuit and do not see ring voltages. Protection of the SLC from a positive overvoltage is easily accomplished with a diode and in the negative polarity with a SIDACtor with ts minimum Vso greater than the -50VDC supply maximum voltage (typically 56.6VDC). Figure C shows how to protect a SLIC with a single SIDACtor and a diode bridge. The PO640EA70 or PO640SA SIDACtors offer Veo 58 volts minimum & 70 volts maximum with the ability to hold fast rising transients up to 1kV/usec to 70 volts maximum, thus protecting sensitive SLICs. The bridge may be a 4 pin DIP (surface mount package if preferred) or discrete components. The cost of this protection scheme ts approximately one half that of single SLIC protection cotn- ponents other manufacturers offer. Figures D & E show how to protect a SLIC with either a single P1602AA and two diodes or two discrete P2915 PO640SA (DO-214AA, surface mount packages). The P295 PO640SA contains one 58Vmin ~ 70Vmax SIDACtor chip and a diode. Figure C -SLIC Protection TIP) Q.. ------- PO640SA / PO640EA70 or (-) 2%.

SIDACtorApplication Notes AN1014 Low Voltage Data Line Protection with the New 27 volt SIDACtor The Bidirectional Teccor 27 volt SIDACtor (PO300SA, PO300EA70 or PO602AA) is an ideal replacement for appli- cations using 30 volt, 600 & 1500 watt avalanche diodes and zener diodes. The 27 volt SIDACtors 50 amp 10x1000us surge rating is greater than the 36 amp 10x1000us surge current rating of the 1500 watt 30 volt avalanche diode or zener diode. The SIDACtors 90pF capacitance at 1MHz, 20VDC bias is much lower than the 30 volt 1.5kW avalanche and zener diode devices at 550pF. Induced AC surges occurring on data lines are a problem encountered with data transmission systems due to unfore- seen paralleled AC lines inducing voltages onto the data lines. The Teccor SIDACtor has a rating of 30 amps AC one cycle and 1 amps RMS continuous. A 1kVACrms at 1ARms for 30 seconds test was conducted with PO300EA70 SIDAC- tors and 30 volt 1.5kW avalanche diodes. The SIDACtor survived the test easily with typical Tc (Case Temperature) < 95C, where all the avalanche diodes tested failed electri- cally, achieved T.Ls (lead temperatures) great enough to possibly cause 60/40 Sn/Pb solder to reflow, and cracked their epoxy cases.

Example: When an overvoltage surge occurs on a typical telecommunication twisted pair line, a simultaneous longitudinal surge occurs (between Tip to ground and Ring to ground). The Tip or Ring terminal SIDACtor chip with the lowest Veo and the ceriter (or Ground) SiIDACtor chip will turn-on first (to the devices Vtm). This leaves the opposite side cof the 3-chip SIDACtor protector at the Veo of only one SIDACtor chip to ground, or approximately 1/2 Vgo rating of the device. The simultaneous voltage surge on the opposite side will also be at least at a voltage equal to Veo so the opposite side SIDACtor chip (at 1/2 Veo) will turn-on also. The low IH of the center (or ground) SIDACtor chip allows it to be the first SIDACtor chip to turn-on and the last to turn-off, to force and maintain the connection or path to ground. This patented 3-chip SIDACtor offers differential voltages between Tip and Ring terminals limited to approximately 1/2 Veo maximum rating of the de- vice occurring typically within a few hundred nanoseconds during a simultaneous longitudinal voltage surge. AN1016 On-Hook & Off-Hook Protection Requirements FCC, UL, Bellcore, etc. require telecommunications equip- ment to be surged in all its operating states. This refers to the two commonly referred to states as On-Hook state (ring generator or ring detection monitoring) and the Off-Hook state (operational state). The On-Hook state must allow operation of the normal battery voltage (DC bias) plus ring voltage without interference. The Off-Hook state should only allow operation of the battery voltage (DC bias) plus opera- tion signals and has a typical maximum of 70 to 80 volts (FCC Part 68 has a 70 volt maximum). Telecommunications equipment needs primary protection for the On-Hook surge and secondary protection for the Off-Hook surge (see AN1013, SLIC protection schemes). The two applications have different voltage protection requirements and therefore two overvoltage protectors are required. See Figure F below for circuit protection scheme.

To select the proper SIDACtor Veo and calculate the Tip and Ring impedances required to limit the surge current within the surge current ratings of the SIDACtor, see Telecom Applica- tion Notes section on circuit calculations. To survive opera- tional and against a metallic voltage surge, see Figures G, H, &l. Teccor Electronics, Inc. 88 SIDACtorFigure G shows how to protect against an on-hook metallic surge without utilizing any circuit impedance using a P3100SB, P3100BA70, P3500SB or P3500BA70. This is because the surge current rating of the overvoltage protec- tion device (100 amp 10x1t000us) is greater than the surge requirement.

This surge has the highest peak current of the two FCC Part 68 telecom voltage surges. A circuit designed to withstand the Longitudinal voltage Surge should also survive the Metallic voltage Surge. The tip and ring impedances should be selected to reduce the applied surge current to within the selected SIDACtors surge rating. To calculate the Tip and Ring impedances, see Telecom Application Notes section on circuit calculations. To survive operational against an on-hook longitudinal voltage surge, see Figures J, K,L & M. Figures J & K show how to protect against a longitudinal surge with a single SIDACtor or two individual devices. A design consideration should be to know that during a Metallic voltage Surge, the protected circuit will see a voltage equal to two times the Vso (breakover voltage) of the selected device.

Test M-2 or L-2: 600 Vrms, 7Arms, applied for 5.0 seconds. Test M-3 or L-3: A. 600 Vrms, 2.2 Arms and B. This test is conducted at less than 2.2 Arms, 600 Vrmu3, with the short circuit current set just below the current inter- rupting devices (fuse or PTC) activation level Test M-4 or L-4: 200 Vrms, 2.2ArRms ;This test is conducted with the voltage set just below the breakdown voltage (Veo) of the overvoltage protection device (SIDACtor) and short circuit current just below the current interrupting device's (fuse or PTC) activation level. Test L-5: 120 Vrms, 25ARmS Test M-3, L-3, M-4, L-4 and L-5: are conducted for 30 min- utes or until an open circuit condition occurs. Note: Longitudinal surges are conducted simultaneously (Tip to Ground and Ring to Ground). Compliance with the testing is determined by the following: Telecom equipment shall not present a risk of fire (no ignition or charring of the cheese cloth indicator), no electrical shock and it shall not interrupt the current during the test (open the UL circuit wiring simulator, a fuse, Bussman Mfg. Co. type MDQ 1 6 amp). Using SIDACtors (overvoltage surge protectors) in cir- cuits to comply with UL 1459 and CSA-C22.2 No. 225 requirements: Note: U.L. requires components used to be U.L. recognized. CSA-C22.2 No. 225 does not require the components used to ne CSA certified. Only the final product meets the CSA requiie- ments. SIDACtors are recognized under UL 497B (Standard for Secondary protectors for data communications and fire alarm circuits). SIDACtor epoxy used is UL recognized and the encapsu- lated body passes UL 94V0 requirements for flammability. SIDACtors have 1600VACrRms electrical isolation between the leads and the case. SIDACtors are offered with Veo's (breakover voltages) greater than the normal operating voltages. SIDACtors will withstand the UL surges for the duration required for the UL circuit 1.6A fuse ta clear (open). If the SIDACtors surge current rating is exceeded, the SIDACtor will fail shorted and not open. UL 1459 Solution: Use a SIDACtor (overvoltage surge protector) and add a fuse or a resettable device, PTC (Posi- tive Temperature Coefficient). The minimum value of the fuse required is determined by the maximum normal operat- ing circuit currents (to allow normal circuit operation). The maximum fuse value is the UL circuit wiring simulator, the Bussman Mfg. type MDQ 1.6 amp fuse. Typical fuse values are between 250 mA and 1.0 amp. See Telecom Application Notes on circuit impedance calculations. Telecom equip- ment that must comply with UL 1459 must also comply with FCC Rules Part 68 Subpart D. To comply with UL 1459 and CSA-C22.2 No. 225 surge testing (by interrupting overcur- rent, open) and remain operational after FCC Rules Part 68 Subpart D on-hook Metallic and Longitudinal voltage Surges, see the following examples: Figure N shows a single SIDACtor and a fuse to protect against the on-hook UL Metallic surges. Note that FCC Part 68 does not require the circuit to be operational after the FCC surges. Figure O shows a single SIDACtor, resistor, and a fuse to protect against the on-hook UL Metallic surges. The resistor values are selected in conjunction with the fuse to pass FCC Metallic voltage Surge. A substitue for the fuse would be a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) resettable current limiting device, such as is manufactured by Raychem. See Application Note AN1020.

AN1020 Using PTCs Figures Y & Z are suggested methods of passing FCC Part 68 metallic and longitudinal surges operationally, as well as complying with UL1459 using PTCs. The Raychem Polyswitch PTC resettable fuse circuit protector is a UL recognized Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) resistor. When an overcurrent condition occurs, the PTC dramaticaliy increases in resistance from its base resistance. The surge current is reduced typically to a few milliamps, that is, no significant current flow. After the over current condition sub- sides, the PTC resets to its base resistance allowing normal circuit operation to continue.

Excellent examples are security system sensors, zoning lines, the secondary side of transformers, the input side of a solid state relay and etc. . Figure U shows a typical AC circuit application using a SIDACtor (Q1) to protect a TRIAC (Q3) from an overvoltage surge. The Vorm rating of the TRIAC should be greater than the VBo maximum of the SIDACtor (Q1) and the Vgo mini- mum of the SIDACtor should be greater than the expected high AC line peak voltage. {VDRM (TRIAC}} > {VBO max )SIDACtor Q1) VBO min} > {AC line VPeak} SIDACtors may also be used on the secondary side of trans- formers to protect sensitive circuitry from overvoltages. SIDACtor (Q2) must be designed to handle both the transient peak current & waveshape plus the short circuit follow on current from the AC transformer secondary. The design should withstand a few cycles of AC current to avoid nui- sance fuse blowing.
