Product details
Overview
LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage surge stopper IC that regulates output during overvoltage transients (e.g., automotive load dump) by controlling an external N-channel MOSFET gate. It provides adjustable 1.25 V feedback-based output clamping, 50 mV overcurrent sensing threshold, and operates from 4 V to 80 V input. It enables uninterrupted load operation in battery-powered industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF datasheet, LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF pinout, LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF application, or LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 60 µA shutdown current (vs. 7 µA in -1 variant), active auxiliary amplifier during shutdown, 12-lead DFN (4 mm × 3 mm) package, and guaranteed operation up to +70°C ambient.
Technical Context
The LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF integrates dual protection loops: a voltage amplifier servoing the FB pin to 1.25 V during overvoltage, and a current-sense amplifier limiting ΔVSNS to 50 mV. Its fault timer current scales with VDS (up to 260 µA during overcurrent), enabling SOA-aware MOSFET stress management.
Unlike the LT4356-1 variant, the LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF maintains auxiliary amplifier functionality and internal 1.25 V reference during shutdown, supporting undervoltage lockout or always-on regulator control. Its SHDN pin tolerates –60 V to +100 V and features TTL-compatible thresholds with 100 µs low-pulse requirement for reliable entry/exit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4 V to 80 V - supports cold-crank automotive operation and withstands reverse-battery conditions down to –60 V. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | 60 µA - enables low-power standby while preserving auxiliary amplifier and reference for UVLO or linear regulation. |
| Overcurrent Threshold | 50 mV across SNS–VCC - sets precise current limit via external sense resistor without gain calibration. |
| FB Pin Reference Voltage | 1.25 V ±25 mV - defines regulated output clamp voltage via external resistive divider (e.g., 27 V at VOUT). |
| Fault Timer Thresholds | FLT asserts at 1.25 V on TMR; GATE turns off at 1.35 V - provides 100 mV early-warning window for system backup actions. |
| Package | 12-lead (4 mm × 3 mm) DFN - thermally enhanced plastic package with optional exposed pad grounding for 43°C/W θJA. |
| Temperature Grade | 0°C to +70°C - commercial-grade operation suitable for non-automotive industrial and telecom power systems. |
Pinout & Package
LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF is housed in a 12-lead (4 mm × 3 mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 13, optional GND connection). Absolute maximum ratings include VCC/SHDN = –60 V to +100 V and SNS = –60 V to VCC + 0.3 V.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar overvoltage protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4365IMS-2#TRPBF | Lower 2.5 V to 34 V operating range; integrated MOSFET; no auxiliary amplifier; fixed 28.5 V clamp. | Best for space-constrained 24 V systems requiring minimal external components; lacks adjustable clamp or shutdown-awake amplifier. | Select LTC4365IMS-2#TRPBF when board area is critical and input voltage never exceeds 34 V. |
| LT4356CDE-1#TRPBF | Same package and pinout; 7 µA shutdown current; auxiliary amplifier disabled in shutdown; identical OV/OC protection. | Preferred for ultra-low-power standby where auxiliary functions are unnecessary during sleep mode. | Choose LT4356CDE-1#TRPBF if shutdown current <10 µA is mandatory and no UVLO or always-on regulation is needed. |
Compared with LTC4365IMS-2#TRPBF and LT4356CDE-1#TRPBF, the LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF uniquely balances wide 4 V–80 V operation, adjustable clamping, and active auxiliary functionality during low-power states-enabling flexible system-level protection and monitoring not possible with fixed-clamp or zero-shutdown-amplifier alternatives.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF and LT4356CDE-1#TRPBF?
The LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF maintains its auxiliary amplifier and internal 1.25 V reference active during shutdown, enabling undervoltage lockout or always-on linear regulation control. In contrast, the LT4356CDE-1#TRPBF disables all functional blocks-including the auxiliary amplifier-in shutdown, achieving lower 7 µA quiescent current. Both share identical overvoltage and overcurrent protection architecture, pinout, and DFN package.
Can LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF drive logic-level N-channel MOSFETs at low input voltages?
Yes. The LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF's GATE pin delivers ≥4.5 V above VOUT when VCC = 4 V, sufficient to fully enhance logic-level N-channel MOSFETs. At higher VCC, the internal charge pump ensures GATE reaches up to VOUT + 14 V, supporting standard-threshold MOSFETs. This dual-range capability makes LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF suitable for cold-crank automotive and wide-input industrial systems.
How does the fault timer in LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF adapt to different MOSFET stress levels?
The LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF's TMR pin current scales linearly with the voltage across the external MOSFET (VDS). During overcurrent, current rises from 4 µA at 0.5 V VDS to 260 µA at 80 V; during overvoltage, it scales from 2 µA to 50 µA. This ensures faster MOSFET turn-off under high-stress conditions-protecting SOA-while allowing longer ride-through for benign low-VDS transients.
What is the minimum recommended TMR capacitor value for stable operation of LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF?
A minimum 10 nF ceramic capacitor is required between TMR and GND to compensate the regulation loop and ensure stability. Analog Devices recommends a 10 V-rated X7R dielectric for robustness. Smaller values risk oscillation or false fault triggering; larger values extend warning and fault periods but do not impair basic functionality.
Does LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF support reverse input protection without external diodes?
Yes. LT4356CDE-2#TRPBF enables back-to-back N-channel MOSFET configurations for reverse input protection-replacing Schottky diodes. With proper gate control, this achieves <100 mV forward drop versus >300 mV for diodes, improving efficiency and cold-crank headroom. The IC's –60 V tolerant SHDN, VCC, and SNS pins ensure robustness during reverse-battery events.
