CPC7556
Diode Bridge with Integrated Adjustable OVP Circuit
Description
100V Diode Bridge with an integrated Over-
Voltage Protection (OVP) thyristor uses IXYS Integrated Circuits Division's High
Voltage SOI technology.
The CPC7556N integrated diode bridge offers protection from high
voltage transients by means of an adjustable
voltage clamp. The clamp performs two actions, first to limit the
voltage across the diode bridge rectified outputs to a value determined by external resistors and the gate
voltage and second to fully discharge the V+ to V outputs when the Gate’s trigger threshold is exceeded during the
voltage limiting function. The rectified outputs are discharged as a result of the
voltage fold-back function of the OVP device.
Voltage fold back of the OVP circuit will continue until the current through the protector falls below the hold current threshold.
Terminating the gate to V will disable the clamp
voltage feature up to the thyristor’s off state
voltage.
