Product details
Overview
LT4356HDE-1 from Analog Devices is a high-voltage surge stopper IC that protects downstream loads by regulating output voltage during transients (e.g., automotive load dump) via external N-channel MOSFET gate control. It features 4V–80V operating range, –40°C to 125°C extended temperature rating, 7µA shutdown current, and integrated overvoltage/overcurrent fault detection with adjustable timer. Used in automotive power distribution and industrial hot-swap systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT4356HDE-1 datasheet, LT4356HDE-1 pinout, LT4356HDE-1 application, or LT4356HDE-1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 12-lead DFN package, 1.25V FB reference, 50mV current sense threshold, TMR-based adaptive fault timing, and H-grade thermal robustness for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
The LT4356HDE-1 implements dual-loop protection: a voltage amplifier servoing the GATE pin to maintain 1.25V at FB during overvoltage, and a current amplifier limiting ΔVSNS to 50mV during overcurrent. Its TMR pin draws a VDS-dependent current (2–50µA for OV, 4–260µA for OC), enabling MOSFET SOA-optimized timing.
It integrates a shutdown-controlled 7µA quiescent mode (LT4356-1 variant), reverse-input tolerance to –60V, and an auxiliary amplifier with 1.25V internal reference-configurable as comparator or linear regulator controller. The GATE driver clamps to 14V above OUT and supports logic-level MOSFETs down to 4.5V drive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4V to 80V - enables cold-crank operation and withstands automotive load dump surges. |
| Shutdown Current | 7µA max - minimizes battery drain in always-on vehicle subsystems. |
| FB Reference Voltage | 1.215V to 1.275V - sets precise output clamp level via external resistor divider. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 42.5mV to 56mV - defines overcurrent trip point across temperature and grade. |
| Max Junction Temperature | 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments. |
| Reverse Input Rating | –60V - supports reverse-battery protection without external diodes. |
| GATE Drive Clamp | 14V above OUT - ensures safe N-MOSFET gate-source voltage during regulation. |
Pinout & Package
LT4356HDE-1 is housed in a 12-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 13), rated for –40°C to 125°C operation. The exposed pad may be left unconnected or tied to GND for improved thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN+ | Auxiliary amplifier non-inverting input | Accepts external voltage for level detection or regulator setpoint; clamped to 7V. |
| AOUT | Auxiliary amplifier open-collector output | Sinks up to 2mA from 80V; usable for LED indication or PNP base drive. |
| GND | Device ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits and exposed pad connection point. |
| EN | Open-collector enable status output | High-impedance when MOSFET is fully on; latched until OUT resets below 0.5V. |
| FLT | Open-collector fault indicator | Pulls low at TMR = 1.25V to warn of impending shutdown; sinks 3mA from 80V. |
| SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Pulled below 0.4V to enter 7µA shutdown; withstands –60V to +100V. |
| TMR | Fault timer capacitor node | Charged by VDS-scaled current; thresholds at 1.25V (warning) and 1.35V (shutdown). |
| FB | Voltage regulation feedback input | Connected to resistive divider; servoed to 1.25V during overvoltage clamping. |
| OUT | MOSFET source voltage sense | Detects VDS for TMR current scaling and EN latch reset. |
| GATE | N-MOSFET gate drive output | Charge-pump driven; clamped to 14V above OUT; pulls down with 150mA during OV fault. |
| SNS | Current sense input | Monitors VCC–VSNS; limits differential to 50mV during overcurrent. |
| VCC | Main supply input | 4V–80V operation; withstands –60V reverse bias; powers internal circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adaptive Fault Timing | TMR current scales with VDS, shortening timeout during high-stress faults to protect MOSFET SOA. |
| Integrated Auxiliary Amplifier | 1.25V-referenced op-amp with AOUT sink capability-enables undervoltage lockout or linear regulator control without external parts. |
| Reverse Input Protection | Withstands –60V on VCC-allows back-to-back N-MOSFET configuration instead of lossy Schottky diode. |
| H-Temperature Grade | Guaranteed operation from –40°C to 125°C-qualified for engine compartment and industrial control applications. |
| Low-Power Shutdown | 7µA quiescent current in shutdown-preserves battery life in always-connected automotive modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT4356HDE-2#TRPBF | 60µA shutdown current; auxiliary amplifier remains active in shutdown | Required where undervoltage lockout or always-on monitoring must persist during low-power mode | Select LT4356HDE-2 if auxiliary amplifier functionality is needed during shutdown; otherwise LT4356HDE-1 offers lower quiescent current. |
| TPS26631RHFR | Integrated 80V MOSFET; fixed 28V clamp; no TMR-based adaptive timing | Limited to fixed-voltage clamping; lacks auxiliary amplifier and VDS-adaptive fault timing | Choose TPS26631RHFR for simplified layout with integrated FET, but only when adjustable clamp and SOA-optimized timing are not required. |
Compared with LT4356HDE-2, the LT4356HDE-1 provides deeper shutdown (7µA vs 60µA) at the cost of disabling the auxiliary amplifier; compared with TPS26631RHFR, it trades integration for design flexibility-external MOSFET selection enables optimized SOA handling and wide output voltage adjustment via FB divider.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable reverse voltage on the VCC pin of the LT4356HDE-1?
The LT4356HDE-1 supports reverse input protection to –60V on the VCC pin without damage. This enables direct connection to battery terminals in automotive systems where reverse polarity events may occur. The device maintains full functionality after recovery, and this rating applies across its –40°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Always verify PCB layout clearance for –60V standoff in high-reliability designs.
How does the LT4356HDE-1 differ from the LT4356HDE-2 in shutdown mode?
The LT4356HDE-1 reduces total supply current to ≤7µA in shutdown and disables the auxiliary amplifier, while the LT4356HDE-2 draws ≤60µA and keeps the auxiliary amplifier operational. This makes the LT4356HDE-2 suitable for applications requiring undervoltage lockout or always-on monitoring during low-power states. Both share identical overvoltage/overcurrent protection behavior and pinout.
What is the purpose of the TMR pin on the LT4356HDE-1, and how is timing adjusted?
The TMR pin on the LT4356HDE-1 sets fault timing via an external capacitor to ground. During overvoltage or overcurrent, a VDS-scaled current charges the capacitor; FLT asserts low at 1.25V (early warning), and GATE turns off at 1.35V. The cool-down period begins when TMR discharges to 0.5V. Timing is adjusted by selecting CTMR-e.g., 6.8µF yields ~100ms total fault window for 80V input.
Can the LT4356HDE-1 drive logic-level N-channel MOSFETs at low input voltages?
Yes-the LT4356HDE-1's GATE pin delivers ≥4.5V drive at VCC = 4V, enabling use of logic-level N-MOSFETs down to 4.5V VGS(th). At higher VCC, GATE is clamped to 14V above OUT, ensuring full enhancement. This supports cold-crank operation in 12V automotive systems where battery voltage drops to ~4V, maintaining reliable pass transistor conduction.
What is the guaranteed FB reference voltage tolerance for the LT4356HDE-1 across temperature?
The LT4356HDE-1 guarantees a FB reference voltage of 1.215V to 1.275V over its full –40°C to 125°C operating range. This 5% total tolerance enables accurate output voltage regulation when used with standard 1% resistors in the feedback divider. The tighter spec versus commercial-grade variants reflects qualification for extended-temperature automotive and industrial applications.
