Product details
Overview
NTVB300SC-L from onsemi is a bidirectional thyristor surge protector (TSPD) designed for overvoltage clamping in telecom line interfaces. It features 300 V peak off-state voltage (VDRM), 400 V breakover voltage (VBO), 4.0 V on-state voltage at 1.0 A, 150 mA holding current, and supports 10×1000 µs surge currents up to 50 A(pk) per GR-1089-CORE. It is used in central office and customer premises equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-5 and ITU-T K.20/21 compliance.
For engineers reviewing the NTVB300SC-L datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include bidirectional crowbar action, SMB package thermal resistance (90 °C/W), 28 pF typical capacitance at 1 MHz, and compatibility with TIA-968-A and EN 60950 surge test waveforms.
Technical Context
The NTVB300SC-L operates as a voltage-triggered crowbar device: when transient voltage exceeds 400 V (VBO) in either polarity, it latches into low-impedance conduction until current falls below 150 mA (IH). Its 300 V VDRM rating ensures stable blocking during normal operation across telecom line voltages including ringing and battery feed.
It delivers robust surge immunity with 50 A(pk) capability under 10×1000 µs waveform (GR-1089-CORE Level C), 75 A(pk) at 10×360 µs, and 150 A(pk) at 2×10 µs - all while maintaining <4.0 V clamping (VT) during conduction. The device's 5.0 kV/µs critical dv/dt rating prevents false triggering from fast transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM | 300 V - Maximum continuous reverse/forward blocking voltage before breakdown; sets operating margin above telecom line peak voltages. |
| VBO | 400 V - Voltage threshold at which device triggers into crowbar mode in either polarity; defines clamping onset point. |
| VT | 4.0 V - On-state voltage at 1.0 A peak current; determines power dissipation (4 W max instantaneous) during surge conduction. |
| IH | 150 mA - Minimum current required to maintain conduction after triggering; ensures reliable latch-off only when fault current decays. |
| CO | 28 pF - Typical junction capacitance at 1 MHz / 2 Vdc bias; enables minimal signal distortion in voice-band and DSL applications. |
| dv/dt | 5.0 kV/µs - Minimum rate of voltage rise that avoids spurious turn-on; critical for noise immunity in high-speed line interfaces. |
| TJ Range | −40°C to +150°C - Full operational junction temperature range; supports deployment in uncontrolled environmental enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
NTVB300SC-L uses the SMB (DO-214AA, Case 403C) surface-mount package - a 2-terminal bidirectional device with no internal gate control. Mounting requires standard reflow profiles compatible with Pb-free soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MT1 | Main Terminal 1 | Anode/cathode terminal for one polarity; symmetric with MT2 - interchangeable in bidirectional circuit placement. |
| MT2 | Main Terminal 2 | Anode/cathode terminal for opposite polarity; forms complete crowbar path across protected line pair (e.g., Tip/Ring). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional crowbar protection | Single-device replacement for two back-to-back SCRs; eliminates polarity-aware layout and reduces BOM count. |
| Low clamping voltage | 4.0 V on-state drop at 1.0 A ensures protected ICs see minimal overvoltage stress during surge events. |
| High surge current capacity | 50 A(pk) at 10×1000 µs meets GR-1089-CORE Level C - sufficient for primary protection in central office line cards. |
| Low junction capacitance | 28 pF enables use in ADSL2+/VDSL2 lines without degrading insertion loss or return loss performance. |
| Pb-free SMB package | DO-214AA outline with 90 °C/W RθJA supports automated assembly and thermal management on FR4 PCBs. |
Applications
| Central Office Line Card Protection | DSLAM Port Surge Suppression |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog front-end circuits (SLIC, codec, transformer) on carrier-grade line cards exposed to lightning-induced surges on POTS lines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary crowbar device placed between line transformer secondary and SLIC input; triggers within nanoseconds upon overvoltage. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤4.0 V during 50 A surges, preventing damage to $5+ SLIC ICs and meeting GR-1089-CORE Level C compliance. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding VDSL2 line drivers and receivers in multi-port DSL access multiplexers subjected to induced surges from adjacent wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional shunt protector across tip/ring differential pair; clamps common-mode transients without affecting differential signal integrity. Use Value: 28 pF capacitance preserves >17 MHz bandwidth; 400 V VBO avoids false triggering during 170 V ringing signals. |
| Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) | VoIP Gateway Interface Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Providing secondary surge protection in residential gateways and IP phones connected to PSTN lines via RJ-11 jacks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Secondary protector downstream of gas discharge tube (GDT); handles residual energy after GDT fires. Use Value: 150 mA IH ensures clean current decay post-surge; prevents latch-up during low-energy transients like EFT bursts. |
Use Scenario: Securing FXS ports in enterprise VoIP gateways against accidental AC mains contact and induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting crowbar across FXS tip/ring terminals; coordinates with upstream polymeric PTC for overcurrent limiting. Use Value: 300 V VDRM accommodates −48 V DC feed plus 170 V ringing; 5.0 kV/µs dv/dt rejects switching noise from nearby SMPS. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar thyristor surge protector applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NTVB300SA-L | Same electrical specs (VDRM, VBO, IH, VT), identical SMB package, but marked "300A" instead of "300C" - reflects different tape-and-reel packaging (2500 vs. 3000 pcs/reel). | No functional difference; both rated for GR-1089-CORE Level C and ITU-T K.20/21. | Select NTVB300SA-L if sourcing from distributors stocking A-suffix reels; no design or layout impact. |
| SM2T300A-Q | STMicroelectronics' functionally equivalent TSPD: same 300 V VDRM, 400 V VBO, 4.0 V VT, but higher 200 mA IH and 35 pF CO. | Slightly higher holding current may delay turn-off in low-energy faults; 7 pF higher capacitance affects >10 MHz signal paths. | Valid alternative where ST's supply chain or qualification status is preferred; verify IH margin in low-current fault scenarios. |
Compared with NTVB300SA-L, NTVB300SC-L offers identical protection performance with different reel packaging - no electrical or thermal trade-offs. Against SM2T300A-Q, NTVB300SC-L provides lower capacitance and tighter holding current, making it preferable for high-frequency DSL and strict GR-1089-CORE Level C deployments.

FAQ
What is the maximum surge current rating for NTVB300SC-L under the 10×1000 µs waveform?
The NTVB300SC-L is rated for 50 A(pk) under the 10×1000 µs double-exponential decay waveform per GR-1089-CORE Level C. This value is non-repetitive and assumes proper PCB thermal design (FR4, 2 oz copper, 3×3 inch pattern) to manage junction temperature rise. Derating applies for repeated surges or elevated ambient temperatures.
Does NTVB300SC-L require a gate trigger signal to operate?
No, the NTVB300SC-L is a gateless, voltage-triggered thyristor surge protector. It conducts automatically when voltage across MT1–MT2 exceeds 400 V (VBO) in either polarity - no external control or biasing is needed. This simplifies circuit design and eliminates gate drive complexity compared to gated SCRs.
Can NTVB300SC-L be used in AC mains protection applications?
No, the NTVB300SC-L is not rated or qualified for AC mains (120/230 VAC) protection. Its 300 V VDRM and 400 V VBO are optimized for telecom line voltages (e.g., −48 V DC feed + 170 V ringing). For AC mains, devices with ≥600 V VDRM and UL 1449 listing are required - NTVB300SC-L does not meet those criteria.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of NTVB300SC-L in standard mounting conditions?
The NTVB300SC-L has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of 90 °C/W when mounted on an FR4 PCB per EIA/JESD51-3: 3″×4.5″ board, 2 oz copper, fan-out in 3×3 inch pattern. This value assumes no additional heatsinking; actual RθJA improves with larger copper areas or thermal vias.
How does the 28 pF capacitance of NTVB300SC-L affect DSL signal integrity?
The 28 pF typical capacitance of NTVB300SC-L introduces negligible insertion loss below 30 MHz, making it suitable for ADSL2+, VDSL2, and G.fast line interfaces. At 17 MHz (VDSL2 upper band), reactance remains >200 Ω, ensuring minimal shunting of differential signals while preserving return loss >12 dB across the band.
