Product details
Overview
LT4356HS-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 gate control. It operates from 4V to 80V, features adjustable 1.25V FB threshold, 50mV overcurrent sense threshold, and latched fault shutdown with TMR-based timing. Used in automotive power distribution and industrial hot-swap systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT4356HS-3#PBF datasheet, LT4356HS-3#PBF pinout, LT4356HS-3#PBF application, or LT4356HS-3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 125°C AEC-Q100 qualified SO-16 package, 7µA shutdown current, reverse input protection to –60V, adjustable latchoff timer, and auxiliary amplifier for level detection or linear regulator control.
Technical Context
The LT4356HS-3#PBF implements dual independent protection loops: an overvoltage regulation loop using a voltage amplifier servoing the FB pin to 1.25V, and an overcurrent loop limiting ΔVSNS to 50mV. Both faults charge the TMR capacitor with voltage-dependent current - 2–50µA for overvoltage, 4–260µA for overcurrent - enabling adaptive MOSFET safe operating area (SOA) management.
Its GATE driver delivers up to 150mA pull-down current during overvoltage fault and 10mA during overcurrent fault, with clamped gate voltage (10–16V above OUT). The SHDN pin tolerates –60V to 100V and enables <7µA quiescent operation, while the auxiliary amplifier (AOUT/IN+) provides 1.25V-referenced comparator or PNP linear regulator control capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 4V to 80V - supports cold-crank automotive operation and high-voltage industrial rails. |
| Overvoltage Clamp Threshold | FB = 1.25V ±25mV - sets regulated output voltage via external resistive divider. |
| Overcurrent Sense Threshold | ΔVSNS = 42.5mV to 57mV - limits current through external sense resistor with temperature-stable accuracy. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT4356IS-3#PBF | Same architecture and pinout, but rated for –40°C to 85°C (Grade I) instead of –40°C to 125°C. | Not qualified for under-hood automotive use; suitable for interior modules or industrial enclosures with lower ambient temps. | Select LT4356HS-3#PBF when full AEC-Q100 Grade H operation is required; use LT4356IS-3#PBF where cost optimization is prioritized and temperature range permits. |
| LT4356HMS-3#PBF | Identical electrical specs and Grade H rating, but in 10-lead MSOP package (smaller footprint, higher θJA = 160°C/W). | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs; requires thermal design attention due to reduced thermal mass vs. SO-16. | Choose LT4356HS-3#PBF for higher power dissipation capability and legacy SO footprint compatibility; select LT4356HMS-3#PBF for compact designs with adequate heatsinking. |
Compared with LT4356IS-3#PBF and LT4356HMS-3#PBF, the LT4356HS-3#PBF uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade H qualification, SO-16 thermal performance (θJA = 100°C/W), and proven layout compatibility for high-reliability automotive power domains - making it the preferred choice where under-hood temperature resilience and manufacturability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable reverse voltage on the VCC pin of the LT4356HS-3#PBF?
The LT4356HS-3#PBF supports reverse input protection to –60V on the VCC pin, enabling direct connection to battery terminals without external diodes or protection circuitry. This rating is specified across the full –40°C to 125°C operating range and is validated per AEC-Q100 stress testing protocols. The LT4356HS-3#PBF maintains functional integrity and does not latch or degrade under this reverse bias condition.
How does the LT4356HS-3#PBF implement adaptive fault timing during overvoltage and overcurrent events?
The LT4356HS-3#PBF uses a voltage-dependent current source on the TMR pin: during overvoltage, TMR current scales from 2µA (at VDS ≤ 0.5V) to 50µA (at VDS = 75V); during overcurrent, it scales from 4µA to 260µA (at VDS = 80V). This ensures shorter fault timeouts under high-stress conditions, keeping the external MOSFET within its safe operating area. The LT4356HS-3#PBF's adaptive timing eliminates fixed-timer compromises between transient ride-through and SOA compliance.
Can the auxiliary amplifier in the LT4356HS-3#PBF be used to regulate an output voltage independently of the main surge protection function?
Yes - the LT4356HS-3#PBF's auxiliary amplifier (IN+/AOUT) has its negative input tied to an internal 1.25V reference and can drive an external PNP pass transistor to create a standalone linear regulator. Its open-collector AOUT pin sinks up to 2mA from 80V, supporting LED indicators or optocoupler interfaces. This function operates independently of the main overvoltage/overcurrent protection loops and remains active during normal operation and fault conditions unless disabled via SHDN.
What is the recommended method to reset the LT4356HS-3#PBF after a latched fault shutdown?
To reset the LT4356HS-3#PBF after GATE latches off, pull the SHDN pin low for ≥100µs, then raise it above 2.1V with a minimum slew rate of 10V/ms. This sequence clears the internal fault latch and re-enables gate drive. Do not rely on power cycling alone - the LT4356HS-3#PBF requires this specific SHDN pulse to restore functionality. Ensure the TMR capacitor discharges below 0.5V (typical discharge current 2.2µA) before attempting reset to avoid immediate re-fault.
Does the LT4356HS-3#PBF require an external gate resistor for driving the N-channel MOSFET?
No - the LT4356HS-3#PBF integrates a charge-pump gate driver capable of sourcing and sinking sufficient current (up to 150mA pull-down during overvoltage) to directly drive standard and logic-level N-channel MOSFETs without external gate resistors. However, a small series resistor (≤10Ω) may be added for EMI suppression or oscillation damping in high-dI/dt layouts. The LT4356HS-3#PBF's GATE pin is internally clamped to 10–16V above OUT, eliminating risk of gate overvoltage.
