Description
   The TISP7015 is a 3-point overvoltage protector designed for protecting against metallic (differential mode) and simultaneous longitudinal (common mode) impulses.

   These devices are designed to limit overvoltages between signal, data and control port conductors, connected to terminals T1 and T2, and a protective ground, G. Each terminal pair has a symmetrical voltage-triggered bidirectional thyristor characteristic (Figure 1). Overvoltages are initially clipped by breakdown clamping until the voltage rises to the breakover level, which causes the device to crowbar into a low-voltage on state. This low-voltage on state causes the current resulting from the overvoltage to be safely diverted through the device. The device switches off when the diverted current falls below the holding current value.

   Terminals marked NC do not have any internal connections and may be left floating or tied to some circuit point.
