Assessment of experimental results indicated that when a forward bias is applied to the body, the direction in which current easily flows, whilst the effectiveness of the control increases, a limit exists after which performance degradation occurs. In addition, the latest ADSL transceivers, as well as other chips that are sensitive to negative-going transients, are further protected by the LCDA15-1's unidirectional conduction characteristic, which limits the amplitude of negative surges to a forward bias voltage. |
