Product details
Overview
LT4356CDE-1#PBF from Analog Devices is a 4V–80V automotive-grade surge stopper IC that protects downstream loads by regulating output voltage during overvoltage transients (e.g., load dump) via external N-channel MOSFET gate control, provides adjustable 50mV overcurrent sensing, features 7µA shutdown current, and operates from 0°C to 70°C in a 12-pin DFN package.
For engineers reviewing the LT4356CDE-1#PBF datasheet, LT4356CDE-1#PBF pinout, LT4356CDE-1#PBF application, or LT4356CDE-1#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.25V FB reference accuracy, TMR-based adaptive fault timing, reverse input tolerance to –60V, SHDN pin rating up to 100V, and compatibility with high-voltage N-channel MOSFETs for battery-powered systems requiring robust transient immunity.
Technical Context
The LT4356CDE-1#PBF implements dual-loop protection: a voltage amplifier servoing the GATE pin to maintain 1.25V at FB during overvoltage, and a current-sense amplifier limiting ΔVSNS to 50mV during overcurrent. Its TMR pin uses voltage-dependent charging current-scaling from 2µA to 50µA (OV) or 4µA to 260µA (OC)-to dynamically adapt fault timing to MOSFET stress across VDS.
It integrates a 4µA internal SHDN pull-up, supports back-to-back FET reverse polarity protection, and latches EN high-impedance when OUT > VCC – 0.7V. The FLT pin asserts low at VTMR = 1.25V for early warning and triggers GATE turn-off at VTMR = 1.35V, followed by automatic retry after VTMR falls to 0.5V post-cooldown.
Key Specifications

Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overvoltage protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4365CDDB#TRPBF | Lower voltage range (4.5V–34V); integrated MOSFET; no TMR adaptivity; fixed 2.5ms OV response. | Better suited for 24V industrial systems with lower surge levels; not rated for 80V automotive load dump. | Select LTC4365 when board space is critical and 34V max input suffices; avoid for 12V automotive front-end use. |
| TPS26631PWPR | Fixed 28V OV clamp; no adjustable current limit; 1.2A integrated FET; no reverse input rating. | Targeted at USB PD and PoE-powered devices; lacks –60V reverse tolerance and adaptive timing for harsh environments. | Choose TPS26631 for cost-sensitive, low-current (<1.2A) applications where 28V clamping and simplicity outweigh ruggedness needs. |
Compared with LTC4365 and TPS26631, the LT4356CDE-1#PBF uniquely combines 80V operation, –60V reverse tolerance, adaptive TMR timing, and external high-current N-FET drive-making it the only option qualified for demanding automotive load dump and intrinsic safety barrier roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse voltage the LT4356CDE-1#PBF can withstand on its VCC pin?
The LT4356CDE-1#PBF supports –60V on the VCC pin, allowing direct connection to reversed battery terminals without external protection diodes. This rating is absolute and applies across the full 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range. The SHDN pin shares the same –60V rating, enabling robust reverse-polarity handling in automotive front-end designs where LT4356CDE-1#PBF is deployed.
How does the LT4356CDE-1#PBF implement adaptive fault timing, and why is it important?
The LT4356CDE-1#PBF charges the TMR capacitor with a current proportional to VDS (VCC – OUT), ranging from 2µA to 50µA during overvoltage and 4µA to 260µA during overcurrent. This ensures shorter fault timers at higher VDS, keeping the external MOSFET within its Safe Operating Area. Without this adaptation, fixed-timer ICs risk MOSFET failure during high-stress transients-making LT4356CDE-1#PBF essential for automotive load dump protection.
Can the LT4356CDE-1#PBF be used with logic-level N-channel MOSFETs?
Yes-the LT4356CDE-1#PBF's GATE pin delivers ≥4.5V drive at VCC = 4V, making it compatible with logic-level N-channel MOSFETs in low-input-voltage applications such as cold-crank automotive scenarios. At higher VCC (e.g., 12V), GATE swings to VOUT + 10V typical, supporting standard-threshold FETs. Always verify RDS(on) and SOA curves of the selected MOSFET against expected fault conditions when using LT4356CDE-1#PBF.
What is the function of the EN pin on the LT4356CDE-1#PBF, and how is it used?
The EN pin on the LT4356CDE-1#PBF is an open-collector output that goes high-impedance when the OUT pin voltage exceeds VCC – 0.7V-indicating the external N-FET is fully enhanced and conducting. It remains latched in that state until OUT drops below 0.5V and then rises above 2V. Designers use EN to enable downstream regulators or signal microcontrollers that the protected rail is stable, directly leveraging LT4356CDE-1#PBF's real-time conduction status.
Does the LT4356CDE-1#PBF provide overcurrent protection, and how is the threshold set?
Yes-the LT4356CDE-1#PBF provides precise overcurrent protection by regulating the voltage difference between VCC and SNS pins to 50mV. This fixed threshold means the current limit is set solely by the sense resistor value (ILIMIT = 50mV / RSENSE). No external components are needed to configure the trip point, and the 50mV value remains stable across temperature and supply voltage-ensuring consistent protection behavior in LT4356CDE-1#PBF-based designs.
