ABSTRACT:
An overvoltage protection circuit for protecting low voltage, high speed digital communication lines. The circuit is integrated into a semiconductor chip and includes a diode bridge, a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) device and resistors through which a bias voltage can be applied to the TVS device to reduce the capacitance hereof.
