DESCRIPTION
This device has been especially designed to protect a subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC) with
anintegratedring generator.
Used with the recommended application circuit,
eachline(TIPand RING)is protectedagainstpositive and negative surges. In the positive polarity,
the breakdownvoltage is referenced to the + VB ,
andinthe negativepolarity,the breakdownvoltage
isreferencedto the -Vbat .
