L8574D Resistive Subscriber Line Interface Circuit (SLIC), Ring
Relay, and Protector (SRP) for Long Loop and TR-57 Applications
Electrical Characteristics (continued)
Fault Protection
Pins PT, PR, and VBF
Pins PT, PR, and VBF are protected by SCRs which clamp surge currents (both positive and negative) to FGND. If
the SCR on PR or VBF triggers due to a negative surge, the L8574 automatically switches to the disconnect state
while the SCR is conducting current above its hold current. After the SCR releases, the L8574 automatically
switches back to the operating state prior to the SCR trigger.

1. This parameter is not tested in production. It is guaranteed by design and device characterization.
2. Applied voltage is 50 Vpp square wave at 100 Hz to measure dV/dt sensitivity.
