Product details
Overview
LT4356HMS-3#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage surge stopper IC that protects downstream loads by regulating output voltage during overvoltage transients (e.g., automotive load dump) and limiting current via external N-channel MOSFET control. It operates from 4V to 80V input, features adjustable 1.25V FB threshold, 50mV overcurrent sense threshold, and −40°C to +125°C temperature range. Used in automotive power distribution and industrial hot-swap systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT4356HMS-3#PBF datasheet, LT4356HMS-3#PBF pinout, LT4356HMS-3#PBF application, or LT4356HMS-3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-pin MSOP package with −60V reverse-input tolerance, 7µA shutdown current, latchoff fault timer with TMR pin programmability, and auxiliary amplifier for level detection or linear regulator control.
Technical Context
The LT4356HMS-3#PBF implements dual protection loops: an overvoltage servo loop using the FB pin to maintain 1.25V at the feedback divider, and an overcurrent loop sensing ΔVSNS = VCC − VSNS with 50mV threshold. Both faults charge the TMR capacitor with voltage-dependent current-up to 50µA during overvoltage and 260µA during overcurrent-to enforce MOSFET safe operating area (SOA) compliance.
Its gate driver delivers up to 150mA pull-down and −4µA pull-up (at VCC = 12V), clamped to VOUT + 10V, enabling robust N-MOSFET control. The SHDN pin withstands −60V to +100V and reduces quiescent current to ≤7µA when asserted, while the auxiliary amplifier (AOUT/IN+) provides 1.25V-referenced comparator or PNP linear regulator functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | 4V to 80V - supports cold-crank operation and automotive load dump immunity. |
| Overvoltage Clamp | Adjustable via FB divider; internal 1.25V reference sets regulated output voltage. |
| Overcurrent Threshold | 50mV across sense resistor - enables precise, temperature-stable current limiting. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤7µA - ensures ultra-low power loss during system standby or fault latchoff. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - AEC-Q100 qualified for under-hood automotive use. |
| Reverse Input Rating | −60V - allows direct connection to reversed battery without external diode. |
| SHDN Pin Range | −60V to +100V - eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry in high-side applications. |
Pinout & Package
LT4356HMS-3#PBF is housed in a 10-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 3mm), thermally rated at θJA = 160°C/W. The exposed pad is optional for thermal enhancement but not electrically connected.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| FB | Voltage Regulator Feedback Input | Sets output clamp voltage via resistive divider; internal 1.25V reference enables precise regulation. |
| OUT | Output Voltage Sense Input | Monitors source of external N-MOSFET; triggers EN pin latching and TMR charging during fault. |
| GATE | N-Channel MOSFET Gate Drive Output | Drives external MOSFET gate with 150mA pull-down; clamped to VOUT + 10V for safe turn-off. |
| SNS | Current Sense Input | Measures VCC − VSNS; initiates overcurrent protection when differential reaches 50mV. |
| VCC | Positive Supply Input | Accepts 4V–80V supply; survives −60V reverse bias - no external protection diode needed. |
| TMR | Fault Timer Input | Capacitor-connected node charged with voltage-dependent current to implement SOA-aware timing. |
| SHDN | Shutdown Control Input | TTL-compatible input; pulls device into <7µA mode and disables GATE and auxiliary amplifier. |
| FLT | Open-Collector Fault Output | Pulls low at VTMR = 1.25V (early warning); remains low until reset via SHDN toggle. |
| EN | Open-Collector Enable Output | High-impedance when MOSFET is fully on; latched until OUT resets below 0.5V then rises >2V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Latchoff Fault Timer | TMR pin accepts external capacitor to set both early-warning interval (100mV/5µA) and total fault timeout - dynamically scaled to MOSFET VDS for SOA compliance. |
| Back-to-Back FET Reverse Protection | Enables replacement of Schottky diode with two N-MOSFETs - eliminates ~0.3V forward drop and associated power loss in high-current paths. |
| Auxiliary Amplifier | 1.25V-referenced op-amp (AOUT/IN+) usable as comparator with hysteresis or linear regulator controller for PNP pass transistor - adds system-level monitoring capability. |
| Robust Input Ratings | VCC, SHDN tolerate −60V to +100V; SNS tolerates −60V to VCC+0.3V - simplifies design in harsh automotive environments with battery reversal or load dump. |
| Low-Power Shutdown | SHDN assertion reduces ICC to ≤7µA - critical for always-on vehicle modules meeting ISO 16750 quiescent current limits. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4365IMS-3#PBF | Lower max input (40V), integrated MOSFET driver only (no auxiliary amp), fixed 2.7V UVLO. | Better suited for 24V industrial systems; lacks AOUT/IN+ flexibility for custom monitoring. | Select when compact size and lower cost outweigh need for 80V rating or auxiliary functions. |
| TPS26631PWPR | Integrated 80V N-MOSFET, fixed 28V OV clamp, no TMR programmability, no auxiliary amplifier. | Reduces BOM count but sacrifices SOA-aware timing and dual-loop configurability. | Choose for simplified layout where adjustable timing and external MOSFET optimization are unnecessary. |
Compared with LTC4365IMS-3#PBF and TPS26631PWPR, LT4356HMS-3#PBF uniquely combines 80V operation, SOA-optimized TMR current scaling, and a dedicated auxiliary amplifier - making it the only option supporting both high-voltage automotive load dump protection and custom system-level monitoring in a single 10-pin MSOP.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LT4356HMS-3#PBF?
The LT4356HMS-3#PBF supports a continuous input voltage range of 4V to 80V on the VCC pin. Its absolute maximum rating extends to −60V (reverse bias), allowing direct connection to automotive batteries without external protection diodes. This rating is validated across the full −40°C to +125°C operating temperature range and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive use.
How does the TMR pin implement SOA-aware fault timing in LT4356HMS-3#PBF?
The TMR pin in LT4356HMS-3#PBF charges with a current proportional to VCC − OUT (i.e., MOSFET VDS): 2µA at 0.5V rising to 50µA at 75V during overvoltage, and 4µA to 260µA during overcurrent. This ensures shorter fault timeouts at higher stress levels - directly aligning with MOSFET safe operating area constraints and preventing thermal runaway.
Can LT4356HMS-3#PBF drive logic-level N-channel MOSFETs at low supply voltages?
Yes - at VCC ≥ 8V, LT4356HMS-3#PBF guarantees GATE drive of 10V to 16V above OUT, compatible with standard-threshold MOSFETs. At VCC = 4V, minimum ΔVGATE drops to 4.5V, requiring logic-level devices (e.g., IRLR2908) to ensure full enhancement and low RDS(ON) during cold-crank conditions.
What is the function of the auxiliary amplifier in LT4356HMS-3#PBF?
The auxiliary amplifier in LT4356HMS-3#PBF consists of IN+ (non-inverting input) and AOUT (open-collector output), with its inverting input tied to an internal 1.25V reference. It can be configured as a precision voltage comparator with external hysteresis or as a linear regulator controller driving an external PNP pass transistor - adding system-level monitoring or auxiliary rail generation capability.
How is LT4356HMS-3#PBF reset after a fault-induced latchoff?
After GATE turns off due to TMR timeout, LT4356HMS-3#PBF remains latched until the SHDN pin is pulled low for ≥100µs and then raised with a slew rate >10V/ms. This sequence clears the internal fault latch, re-enables gate drive, and resumes normal operation - ensuring deliberate recovery and preventing uncontrolled restart during persistent faults.
