Abstract: A structure protects a SLIC telephone line interface against overvoltages lower than a negative threshold or higher than a positive threshold. The structure includes at least one thyristor connected between each conductor of the telephone line and a reference potential. For all of the included thyristors, a metallization corresponding to the main electrode on the gate side is in contact, by its entire surface, with a corresponding semiconductor region. Furthermore, the gate of each thyristor is directly connected to a voltage source defining one of the thresholds.

Abstract: Overvoltage protection circuits are provided. In some embodiments, an overvoltage protection circuit includes a first diode made of a first semiconductor material having a bandgap width greater than that of silicon. A second diode is included and is electrically cross-coupled with the first diode. The second diode is made of a second semiconductor material different from the first semiconductor material.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a transient voltage suppression device comprising a single crystal semiconductor substrate doped with a first conductivity type comprising first and second opposing surfaces, a semiconductor region doped with a second conductivity type opposite to the first conductivity type extending into the substrate from the first surface, a first electrically conductive electrode on the first side contacting the semiconductor region and a second electrically conductive electrode on the second side contacting the substrate, a first interface between the substrate and the semiconductor region forming the junction of a TVS diode and a second interface between the first electrically conductive electrode and the semiconductor region or between the substrate and the second electrically conductive electrode forming the junction of a Schottky diode.
