1. INTRODUCTION
The aim of this section is to show the behaviorof
ournewtelecomlineprotectiondevice.Thisdevice
includes a primary protection level and is suitable
for main distribution frames and line cards. This
protection concept is explained and, in addition,
the CLP200M performances are analysed when
facing different surges as described in the CCITT
recommendations.
Figure 1 is a simplified block diagram of a sub-
scriber lineprotectionthat ismainlyused sofar.

A ”primaryprotection”locatedon theMainDistri-
butionFrame(MDF)eliminatescoarselythehigh
energy environmental disturbances (lightning

A ”secondaryprotection”located on the line card
includesa primaryprotectionlevel(firststage)and
a residualprotection(second stage)which elimi-

The CLP200M can be used both in MDFs and in
line cards. In that case, any line card may be
swappedfrom one MDFto anotherone withoutre-
ducing the efficiency of the whole system protec-
tion.
The CCITT requirements are different for these
two protection locations (MDFs and line cards).
Concerningthe”primaryprotection”,theCCITTre-
quires a 4kV, 10/700

s surge test whereas the
”secondary protection” has to withstand a 1kV,
10/700
μ
s surgetest.
The explanations which follow are basically
covering the line card application.

2.1Evolutionof the SLIC protection
Over the years, the silicon protection per-
formances have considerably changed.
The first generation of products like SMTHBTxx
and SMTHDTxx offered fixed overvoltage protec-
tion against surges on either TIP or RING line in
fourpackages.
The following generation like THBTxx and
THDTxx still offered fixed overvoltageprotection
againstsurges on both TIPand RINGlines in two
packages.
The next step was the introduction of the
LCP1511D which brought the advantage of full
programmablevoltage.
Today, the CLP200M combines the featuresof all
the previous generations. In addition to that, it of-
fers an overcurrent detection when operating in
speechmodeand alsoa FailureStatusoutputsig-
nal.
