BiAs-MODE (1-line Bidirectional Asymmetrical protection mode)

With the GSOTxx one signal- or data-lines (L1) can be protected against voltage transients. With pin 1 connected to ground and

pin 3 connected to a signal- or data-line which has to be protected. As long as the voltage level on the data- or signal-line is

between 0 V (ground level) and the specified maximum reverse working voltage (VRWM) the protection diode between pin 1 and

pin 3 offers a high isolation to the ground line. The protection device behaves like an open switch.



As soon as any positive transient voltage signal exceeds the breakdown voltage level of the protection diode, the diode

becomes conductive and shorts the transient current to ground. Now the protection device behaves like a closed switch. The

clamping voltage (VC) is defined by the breakdown voltage (VBR) level plus the voltage drop at the series impedance (resistance

and inductance) of the protection diode.



Any negative transient signal will be clamped accordingly. The negative transient current is flowing in the forward direction

through the protection diode. The low forward voltage (VF) clamps the negative transient close to the ground level.

Due to the different clamping levels in forward and reverse direction the GSOTxx clamping behavior is Bidirectional and

Asymmetrical (BiAs).
