Abstract: ApplicaTIon note 398 is a design guide that has all the informaTIon necessary for a designer to build a network interface circuit for a piece of telecommunicaTIons equipment using Dallas Semiconductor T3, E3, or STS-1 line interface units (LIUs). The network interface is the part of the system that connects to other telecommunicaTIons equipment through coaxial cable. The main focus is on inter-building connections which require overvoltage / overcurrent protection. Protection is often needed in telecommunications circuits to prevent damage from lightning strikes or power line cross events. The application note begins with a general overview of the protected network interface and a listing of the various specification test procedures. This is followed by an example circuit for metallic protection along with the component selection guide. Because the outer conductor of the transmission line is grounded, it is only necessary to provide a solution for metallic type surges. This des ign guide will enable the designer to meet the stringent specifications required when designing the network interface for telecommunications equipment.
Introduction to Protection CircuitsT3, E3, and STS-1 lines are used primarily in intra-building applications to connect one piece of equipment to another. Although the potential dangers from lightning strike and power-line cross are inherently less for intra-building lines than for externally-run lines (such as T1), various telecom standards organizations have established surge protection requirements for intra-building lines. For line interface designs to meet these requirements, protection networks must be used to direct high voltages and currents away from sensitive low -voltage CMOS devices.
Surge protection networks are divided into two categories: primary and secondary. Primary protection is usually provided by gas discharge tubes or carbon blocks located at the point where the line enters the premises. Since primary protection only limits voltage surges to 1000VPEAK and power line cross to 600VRMS, secondary voltage protection is also necessary. Secondary protection provides additional voltage and current limiting to protect the LIU from damage.
Longitudinal (common mode) surge types are from tip to ground or from ring to ground, while metallic (differential) surge types are between tip and ring. Longitudinal surges are formed on the tip and ring conductors by lightning currents that enter the conductive shield of the cable. Because the outer conductor in T3 / E3 / STS-1 cables is grounded, it is only necessary to protect against metallic surges.
Recommended Protection CircuitFigure 1 is Dallas Semiconductor's recommended metallic surge-suppression circuit for intra-building T3 / E3 / STS-1 applications. This circuit is designed to comply with the requirements listed in Table 1.
Table 1. Applicable intra-building protection requirements

The three main components used for protection are the fuse, the thyristor, and the diodes. The fuse protects the transformer against high-current conditions such as power-line cross. Typical fuses have a surge current rating above 100A for the different surge profiles. The fuses in Table 2 pass the 2 x 10µs, 10 x 160µs, 10 x 560µs, and 10 x 1000µs surges without opening. The thyristor is a solid state crowbar device that changes from an open circuit to a short circuit condition when the voltage across the device exceeds the switching voltage. The thyristor remains in the short circuit state until the current flowing through the device falls below a set holding current. In the short circuit state, excess current is routed to ground, thus stopping it from damaging the LIU device . The thyristor cannot be connected directly between tip and ring because its capacitance is large enough to distort the T3 / E3 / STS-1 signal. The diodes remove the thyristor capacitance from the tip / ring differ ential pair while still allowing the thyristor to perform its crowbar function.
