Abstract
A frequency selective transient voltage protector (FSTVP) circuit that may be used in connection with a communication line over which POTS and DSL service may be simultaneously provided. The FSTVP circuit attenuates high frequency transient voltages that exceed a predetermined voltage level, while permitting low frequency, generally high voltage signals (e.g., ring signals) and high frequency, low voltage signals (e.g., DSL signals) to pass with little or no attenuation. The FSTVP circuit comprises a frequency selective network (that comprises a frequency discriminator and a voltage discriminator) connected to an overvoltage protection device that shunts any high frequency transient voltages thus protecting devices connected downstream along the communications line from damage. The frequency selective network is tuned to gate the overvoltage protection device when the frequency and voltage of a signal present on the communication line exceed predetermined values.
