SIDACtor ® Protection Thyristors Construction and Operation SIDACtor devices are thyristor devices used to protect sensitive circuits from electrical disturbances caused by lightning-induced surges, inductive-coupled spikes, and AC power fault conditions. The unique structure and characteristics of the thyristor are used to create an overvoltage protection device with precise and repeatable turn-on characteristics with low voltage overshoot and high surge current capabilities. Physics The device is a semiconductor device characterized as having four layers of alternating conductivity: PNPN...

Expertise Applied | Answers Delivered Electrical Parameters SIDACtor electrical parameters are based on the following definition of conditions • On state (also referred to as the crowbar condition) is the low impedance condition reached during full conduction and simulates a short circuit. • Off state (also referred to as the blocking condition) is the high impedance condition prior to beginning conduction and simulates an open circuit. Please refer to Figure 1.3 above related to many of the following terms: Co di/dt dv/dt IS IDRM IH IPP IT ITSM VS V DRM VF VT Off-state...

Llttelfuse* Expertise Applied | Answers Delivered When selecting a SIDACtor® device, use the following criteria: The VDRM of the SIDACtor® device must be greater than the maximum operating voltage of the circuit that the SIDACtor® device is protecting. Example 1: For a POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) application, convert the maximum operating Ring voltage (150 VRMS) to a peak voltage, and add the maximum DC bias of the central office battery: For longitudinal surges (Tip-Ground, Ring-Ground), RTOTAL is calculated for both Tip and Ring: RSOURCE _ VPK/IPK R = R + R TOTAL RING SOURCE For...

Expertise Applied | Answers Delivered Overvoltage Protection Comparison The four most commonly used technologies for overvoltage protection are as follows: • SIDACtoi® devices • Gas Discharge Tubes (GDTs) • Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) • TVS diodes All four technologies are connected in parallel with the circuit being protected, and all exhibit a high off-state impedance when biased with a voltage less than their respective blocking voltages. A SIDACtoi® device is a PNPN device that can be thought of as a thyristor device without a gate. Upon exceeding its peak off-state voltage (VDRM), a...

SIDACtor ® Protection Thyristors Overvoltage Protection Comparison (continued) TVS Diodes Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diodes are clamping voltage suppressors that are constructed with back-toback PN junctions. During conduction, TVS diodes create a low impedance path by varying their resistance as voltage is applied across their terminals. Once the voltage is removed, the diode will turn off and return to its high offstate impedance. Advantages Because TVS diodes are solid state devices, they do not fatigue nor do their electrical parameters change as long as they are operated within...
