Product details
Overview
LT4356CS-2#PBF 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 1.25V feedback-based output clamping, 50mV overcurrent sensing, and operates from 4V to 80V input with reverse input protection down to –60V. It is used in automotive power distribution systems requiring uninterrupted operation during transients.
For engineers reviewing the LT4356CS-2#PBF datasheet, LT4356CS-2#PBF pinout, LT4356CS-2#PBF application, or LT4356CS-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include shutdown quiescent current (60µA), auxiliary amplifier availability during shutdown, 16-pin SO package compatibility, and guaranteed operation up to 125°C for industrial and automotive environments.
Technical Context
The LT4356CS-2#PBF integrates dual protection loops: a voltage amplifier servoing the FB pin to 1.25V during overvoltage events, and a current-sense amplifier limiting ΔVSNS to 50mV during overcurrent faults. Both conditions drive a programmable fault timer via the TMR pin using voltage-dependent charging currents (2–260µA) scaled to MOSFET VDS.
Unlike the LT4356-1 variant, the LT4356-2 maintains its internal 1.25V reference and auxiliary amplifier active in shutdown mode, enabling undervoltage lockout or always-on regulator functions. Its SHDN pin withstands –60V to 100V and features TTL-compatible thresholds with 100µs low-pulse requirement for reliable entry/exit.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4V to 80V - supports cold-crank automotive operation and high-voltage industrial rails. |
| Overcurrent Threshold | 50mV across SNS–VCC - sets precise current limit independent of temperature or supply variation. |
| FB Reference Voltage | 1.25V ±25mV - enables accurate output clamp adjustment via external resistor divider. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | 60µA (LT4356-2) - allows low-power monitoring while retaining auxiliary amplifier functionality. |
| Reverse Input Protection | –60V on VCC and SHDN - enables robust reverse-battery tolerance without external diodes. |
| Max Junction Temperature | 125°C (H-grade) - ensures reliability in under-hood automotive and industrial enclosures. |
| GATE Drive Capability | Pull-down: 150mA (OV), 10mA (OC); pull-up: –4µA to –50µA - actively controls N-MOSFET in linear regulation region. |
Pinout & Package
LT4356CS-2#PBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic SO package (SO-16), with exposed pad not applicable. Pin functions are defined per Analog Devices Rev. D datasheet and validated for this specific variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TMR | Fault Timer Input | Capacitor-connected node setting early-warning (100mV), fault (1.25V), and retry (0.5V) thresholds; current scales with VDS for SOA-optimized timing. |
| FB | Voltage Regulator Feedback | Servo input referenced to internal 1.25V; determines regulated output clamp voltage via external resistive divider. | NC | No Connect | Two unconnected pins (pins 3 and 6) - must remain floating; no internal connection or function. |
| OUT | Output Sense Input | Senses source voltage of external N-MOSFET; enables EN latching and TMR charging based on VCC–VOUT differential. |
| GATE | N-MOSFET Gate Driver | Charge-pump-driven output clamped to VOUT + 14V; delivers active pull-up/pull-down for linear regulation during faults. |
| SNS | Current Sense Input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor; initiates overcurrent protection when ΔVSNS exceeds 50mV. |
| VCC | Main Supply Input | Accepts 4V–80V operating range; withstands –60V reverse bias; powers all internal circuitry including charge pump. |
| IN+ | Auxiliary Amplifier Input | Positive input of internal op-amp (1.25V ref on negative input); configurable as comparator or linear regulator controller. |
| AOUT | Auxiliary Amplifier Output | Open-collector output capable of sinking 2mA to 80V; drives LEDs, optocouplers, or PNP pass transistors. |
| GND | Device Ground | Reference node for all analog circuitry; connects to system ground plane for noise immunity and thermal dissipation. |
| EN | Enable Status Output | Open-collector indicator pulled high-impedance when MOSFET is fully on (VOUT > VCC – 0.7V); latched until reset. |
| FLT | Fault Indicator Output | Open-collector output pulled low at TMR = 1.25V; signals impending shutdown due to OV or OC condition. |
| SHDN | Shutdown Control Input | TTL-compatible input; pulls device into low-IQ mode (60µA) while preserving reference and auxiliary amplifier. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Overvoltage Clamp | Set via FB-resistor divider; maintains stable output during 80V surges without load interruption. |

| Active Auxiliary Amplifier in Shutdown | LT4356-2 retains 1.25V reference and AOUT/IN+ functionality during 60µA shutdown - enables UVLO or standby regulators. |
| Back-to-Back FET Reverse Protection Support | Eliminates Schottky diode drop; reduces power loss and improves cold-crank headroom in battery-fed systems. |
| Wide-Temperature Guaranteed Operation | Specified from –40°C to 125°C (H-grade); validated for under-hood automotive and industrial control applications. |

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT4356CS-2#PBF and LT4356CS-1#PBF?
The LT4356CS-2#PBF maintains its internal 1.25V reference and auxiliary amplifier active during shutdown, enabling undervoltage lockout or always-on regulator functions. In contrast, the LT4356CS-1#PBF disables all functional blocks in shutdown, reducing quiescent current to 7µA. This makes LT4356CS-2#PBF essential for applications requiring monitoring or control during standby.
Can LT4356CS-2#PBF drive a logic-level N-channel MOSFET at 5V VCC?
Yes - the LT4356CS-2#PBF's GATE pin delivers a minimum ΔVGATE of 4.5V at VCC = 4V, sufficient to fully enhance logic-level N-MOSFETs. At 5V VCC, the gate drive exceeds 5V, ensuring low RDS(on) conduction and minimal dropout during normal operation.
How does the TMR pin current scale with input voltage in overvoltage mode?
In overvoltage mode, the TMR pin current starts at ~2µA for VDS ≤ 0.5V and increases linearly to 50µA at VDS = 75V. This voltage-proportional scaling ensures shorter fault timers during high-stress conditions, protecting the external MOSFET's safe operating area - a feature confirmed in Figure 1 of the LT4356-1/LT4356-2 Rev. D datasheet.
Is LT4356CS-2#PBF compatible with back-to-back N-MOSFET reverse polarity protection?
Yes - the LT4356CS-2#PBF supports back-to-back N-MOSFET configurations for reverse input protection, eliminating Schottky diode losses. Its SHDN and VCC pins tolerate –60V, and its gate drive architecture accommodates bidirectional blocking, as explicitly stated in the "DESCRIPTION" and "APPLICATIONS INFORMATION" sections of the datasheet.
What is the maximum allowable voltage difference between SNS and VCC pins?
The absolute maximum rating specifies that the voltage difference between SNS and VCC must not exceed 30V. While SNS can be pulled below ground to –60V, this constraint ensures the internal current-sense amplifier operates within safe limits - a critical design boundary verified in the "ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS" table on page 2 of the datasheet.
