DESCRIPTION
Dedicated to the protection of sensitive telecom
equipment, the LCP3121 provides protection
which can be programmed by both voltage and
current.
Thebreakdownvoltagecanbe easilyprogrammed
by usingan externalzenerdiode.
Theprotectionfunctionprogrammedbythecurrent
is achievedwith the use of a resistorbetween the
gate andthe cathode.The value of the resistorwill
determine the level of the desired current before
the triggeringof thedevice.
A multipleprotectionmodeis alsoperformedwhen
using several diodesproviding each line interface
with an optimizedprotectionlevel.
If desired,abidirectionalprotectionfunctioncanbe
achievedby the use of twoLCP3121.
