These monolithic protection devices are fabricated in ion-implanted planar vertical power structures for high
reliability and in normal system operation they are virtually transparent. The buffered gate design reduces the
loading on the SLIC supply during overvoltages caused by power cross and induction.
NOTES: 1. Initially the protector must be in thermal equilibrium with -40°C

J
≤
85°C. The surge may be repeated after the device returns to
its initial conditions.
2. The rated current values may be applied either to the Ring to Ground or to the Tip to Ground terminal pairs. Additionally, both
terminal pairs may have their rated current values applied simultaneously (in this case the Ground terminal current will be twice the
rated current value of an individual terminal pair). Above 85°C, derate linearly to zero at 150°C lead temperature.
