DESCRIPTION

Surge Stopper

TheLT®4356surgestopperprotectsloadsfromhighvoltage

transients. It regulates the output during an overvoltage

event, such as load dump in automobiles, by controlling

the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET. The output is

limited to a safe value thereby allowing the loads to con-

tinue functioning. The LT4356 also monitors the voltage

overcurrent faults. An internal amplifier limits the current

sense voltage to 50mV. In either fault condition, a timer

is started inversely proportional to MOSFET stress. If the

timer expires, the FLT pin pulls low to warn of an impend-

ing power down. If the condition persists, the MOSFET is

turned off. After a cool down period, the GATE pin pulls

up turning on the MOSFET again.

The auxiliary amplifier may be used as a voltage detection

comparator or as a linear regulator controller driving an

external PNP pass transistor.

Back-to-back FETs can be used in lieu of a Schottky diode

for reverse input protection, reducing voltage drop and

power loss. A shutdown pin reduces the quiescent current

to less than 7µA for the LT4356-1 during shutdown. The

LT4356-2 differs from the LT4356-1 during shutdown by

reducing the quiescent current to 60µA and keeping alive

the auxiliary amplifier for uses such as an undervoltage

lockout or always-on regulator.
