**TN8050H-12PI Application** 

**2 Application** 

## **2.1 Overvoltage surge management** 

The TN8050H-12PI specification in Table 1 gives a non-repetitive surge voltage forward VDSM and reverse VRSM at 1400 V, for a surge duration up to 10 ms duration at 25 °C of junction temperature. This feature allows designers headroom for overvoltage surge management in final application, reducing ratings of AC Line input protections, but also for an increased reliability of the overall application in the field, such as UPS, AC/DC converters or motor controllers. 

Here below is an example of an overvoltage surge, as defined in IEC61000-4-5 electromagnetic compatibility standard, applied to the TN8050H-12PI. The Figure 12. Simplified front-end circuit using TN8050H-12PI details a simplified application front-end circuit, including the surge protection, made of metal oxyde varistor, in parallel of the TN8050H-12PI. 

**Figure 12. Simplified front-end circuit using TN8050H-12PI** 

When an 1.2/50 µs overvoltage surge occurs on the AC line, the application input protection clamps the voltage across the TN8050H-12PI SCR. Thanks to the extra VDSM / VRSM specification, the maximum allowed voltage across the SCR is 1400 V. The waveform Figure 13. Waveform of line and SCR voltages illustrates the voltage across the AC Line and the SCR during a 6 kV surge event, performed within the Figure 12. Simplified front-end circuit using TN8050H-12PI left test schematic, when the junction temperature equals the maximum junction temperature of the TN8050H-12PI: Tj max = 150 °C, the device still withstands the stress when the occurrence is up to 10 surges, on each polarity, according to the IEC61000-4-5 standard.
