COORDINATION
In all applications, the overvoltage protection device should be
chosen to limit the maximum voltage across the Bourns
®
TCS
™
High-Speed Protector to less than the maximum voltage rating
of the device. If this maximum voltage limit is exceeded, the
Bourns
®
TCS
™
High-Speed Protector may begin to avalanche,
and it will cease to effectively block the current into the
protected device, which may result in damage.
USING MULTIPLE TCS-DL DEVICES IN SERIES OR
PARALLEL
Bourns
®
TCS
™
High-Speed Protectors may be connected in
parallel to achieve even lower on-state resistance. If matching
is required, use two Bourns
®
TCS-DL Series HSPs, and connect
one Bourns
®
TCS
™
High-Speed Protector from each DL device
in parallel. In addition, because of their ultra-fast response, mul-
tiple Bourns
®
TCS
™
High-Speed Protectors may be connected in
series to achieve multiples of the breakdown voltage.
Reference Applications
Two good examples of applications where the combination of
a Bourns
®
TCS
™
High-Speed Protector and a voltage limit-
ing device provides exceptional performance are in VDSL
and Ethernet circuits, where the line is driven differentially by a
transformer.

The device characteristics and parameters in this data sheet can and do vary in different applications and actual device performance may vary over time.
Users should verify actual device performance in their specific applications.
GbE
In the Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) application circuit shown below,
the transformer provides additional protection against sustained
DC faults and provides some isolation from surge conditions
such as lightning strikes. The TCS™ device limits the current
that the PHY will be subjected to under a surge condition. It
also provides voltage isolation so that the peak voltage that the
PHY is subjected to will be lower than the TVS diode
clamp voltage. The TVS diode will sink the majority of
the transformer secondary current and clamp the voltage
to a level that is below the 40 V maximum rating of the
TCS™ device.
Gigabit Ethernet Application Circuit
VDSL
In the VDSL application shown below, the transformer provides
additional protection against sustained DC faults and the cou-
pling capacitors, C1 and C2, provide protection against DC and
mains frequency power faults. The termination resistors
R1 and R2 are reduced in value by the nominal resistance of
the Bourns
®
TCS
™
High-Speed Protector to maintain the overall
termination resistance.
