Connected between the antenna and ground, a DSP will protect the semiconductor ( front-end IC
or FET, etc. ) against failure due to static surges entering from the antenna. The high insulation
resistance and low capacitance of the DSP prevents any attenuation of the circuit it is protecting.

Inserted between the ground and cathode, a DSP will protect the display driver IC's and transis-
tors from damage due to static surges generated by the display or other source. It can also be
used on the heater or grid depending on the circuit. Unlike open air gap devices, the DSP is not
affected by altitude or humidity allowing reliable operation in any location.

DSA MOV MOV DSA
This is a π circuit which protects against induced lightning surges. It suppresses the induced
lightning surge with a combination of DSA's and a solid element ( MOV, Zener diode, etc. ). The
solid element is used to quickly clamp the surge, while the DSA will then suppress the majority of
the surge energy. This protects solid elements, which generaly have a low surge current capacity,
while keeping the surge voltage low.
DSA: DSA-301LA, DSA-301LS, etc.
Booster ( for satellite broadcasting and general TV equipment )
Amplifier Main Unit
In this application DSP's can be used to protect semiconductors against small surge energies from
the vicinity of the antenna or against static electricity due to human contact. The recent increasing
use of high sensitivity FET's has led to a stronger requirement for surge protection.
