Product details
Overview
LT4356IDE-3#PBF from Analog Devices is a surge protection controller that regulates output voltage during automotive load dump (up to 80V) by driving an external N-channel MOSFET, provides overcurrent protection via 50mV current-sense threshold, features adjustable latchoff fault timer with early warning (FLT pin), and operates across –40°C to +85°C in a 12-lead 4mm × 3mm DFN package for high-side battery protection in automotive and industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT4356IDE-3#PBF datasheet, LT4356IDE-3#PBF pinout, LT4356IDE-3#PBF application, or LT4356IDE-3#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 4V–80V operating range, –60V reverse input tolerance, 7µA shutdown current, 1.25V FB reference, and fault timer current scaling with VDS for MOSFET SOA optimization.
Technical Context
The LT4356IDE-3#PBF implements dual-loop protection: a voltage amplifier servoing the FB pin to 1.25V during overvoltage events, and a current amplifier limiting ΔVSNS to 50mV during overcurrent faults. Both conditions charge the TMR capacitor with voltage-dependent current-2µA to 50µA for overvoltage, 4µA to 260µA for overcurrent-enabling adaptive fault timing aligned with MOSFET safe operating area.
It integrates a 7µA SHDN pull-up, supports back-to-back FET reverse polarity protection, and latches GATE off after fault timeout until SHDN is pulsed low (≥100µs) and re-ramped high (>10V/ms). The auxiliary amplifier (AOUT/IN+) functions as a 1.25V-referenced comparator or linear regulator controller.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4V to 80V - enables operation during automotive cold crank (≥4V) and withstands 80V load dump transients. |
| Overcurrent Threshold | 50mV ΔVSNS - sets precise current limit independent of temperature via internal amplifier, reducing sense resistor power loss. |
| FB Reference Voltage | 1.25V (±2.5%) - defines regulated output clamp voltage via external resistive divider; stable over full temperature range. |
| Shutdown Current | <7µA - minimizes battery drain in always-on automotive systems when SHDN is pulled low. |
| Reverse Input Rating | –60V - allows direct connection to reverse-battery–tolerant inputs without external diode or circuitry. |
| TMR Early Warning Threshold | 1.25V - triggers FLT pin low to signal impending shutdown, enabling system-level backup before GATE turns off at 1.35V. |
| GATE Drive Range | 4.5V to 16V above OUT - ensures reliable turn-on of standard or logic-level N-channel MOSFETs across full VCC range. |
Pinout & Package
LT4356IDE-3#PBF is housed in a 12-lead 4mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with exposed pad (Pin 13), rated for –40°C to +85°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 PNP regulator control; clamped to 7V max. |
| AOUT | Auxiliary amplifier open-collector output | Sinks up to 2mA from 80V; drives LEDs/optocouplers directly without external pull-up. |
| GND | Device ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits and external sense resistors. |
| EN | Open-collector enable status output | High-impedance when MOSFET is fully on (VOUT > VCC – 0.7V); latched until reset by VOUT cycling. |
| FLT | Open-collector fault indicator | Pulls low at TMR = 1.25V to warn of imminent shutdown; sinks up to 3mA from 80V. |
| SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Withstands –60V to +100V; requires ≥100µs low pulse and >10V/ms rise to reset latched-off state. |
| TMR | Fault timer capacitor connection | Charged by voltage-dependent current (2–260µA) to set adaptive fault timing based on VDS. |
| FB | Voltage regulation feedback input | Servo point for 1.25V reference; connects to resistive divider to set output clamp voltage. |
| OUT | MOSFET source voltage sense | Senses VOUT to enable EN and set TMR charging current; referenced to GND. |
| GATE | N-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Charge-pump–driven output clamped to 14V above OUT; delivers up to 150mA pull-down during OV fault. |
| SNS | Current sense input | Monitors voltage drop between VCC and SNS; senses overcurrent when ΔVSNS exceeds 50mV. |
| VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 4V–80V input; tolerates –60V reverse bias; powers internal circuitry and charge pump. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adaptive fault timer | TMR current scales with VDS (2–260µA), dynamically shortening fault timeout under high-stress conditions to protect MOSFET SOA. |
| Reverse input protection | Withstands –60V on VCC/SNS/SHDN pins, enabling robust reverse-battery immunity without external Schottky diodes. |
| Low-quiescent shutdown | 7µA shutdown current allows integration into always-on automotive modules without excessive battery drain. |
| Dual protection loops | Independent voltage (FB servo) and current (SNS amplifier) regulation paths prevent simultaneous OV/OC interaction errors. |
| Auxiliary amplifier | Integrated 1.25V-referenced op-amp (AOUT/IN+) supports flexible functions: undervoltage lockout, precision biasing, or PNP linear regulation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4365CDDB#TRPBF | Fixed 28V overvoltage clamp; no adjustable FB; 2.7V–42V operating range; lacks auxiliary amplifier. | Best suited for simpler 24V systems where fixed clamp suffices and auxiliary functions are unnecessary. | Choose LTC4365 when design prioritizes compactness (6-lead DFN) and fixed OV threshold over programmability and dual-loop flexibility. |
| TPS26631PWPR | Integrated 80V MOSFET; fixed 32V OV clamp; no TMR-based adaptive timing; 1.5A max current rating. | Targets lower-current applications (<1.5A) where integrated FET simplifies layout but limits power handling. | Choose TPS26631 when board space is critical and load current stays below 1.5A, accepting fixed clamp and no SOA-adaptive timing. |
Compared with LTC4365CDDB#TRPBF and TPS26631PWPR, LT4356IDE-3#PBF offers field-programmable output clamping, MOSFET SOA–adaptive fault timing, and an auxiliary amplifier-making it uniquely suitable for high-reliability automotive and industrial systems requiring configurable protection and extended voltage range.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LT4356IDE-3#PBF?
The LT4356IDE-3#PBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and industrial environments with wide ambient temperature swings. This grade is denoted by the "I" suffix in the part number and is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 3 standards.
How does the LT4356IDE-3#PBF implement adaptive fault timing?
The LT4356IDE-3#PBF charges the external TMR capacitor with a current that scales linearly with the voltage across the external MOSFET (VDS). During overvoltage, current ranges from 2µA (at 0.5V VDS) to 50µA (at 75V VDS); during overcurrent, it ranges from 4µA to 260µA (at 80V VDS). This ensures shorter fault timeouts under higher stress, protecting MOSFET safe operating area.
Can the LT4356IDE-3#PBF drive logic-level MOSFETs at low supply voltages?
Yes-the LT4356IDE-3#PBF guarantees a minimum GATE drive of 4.5V above OUT when VCC ≥ 4V, enabling reliable turn-on of logic-level N-channel MOSFETs down to cold-crank conditions. At VCC ≥ 8V, GATE drive increases to 10–16V, supporting standard-threshold devices.
What is the function of the SHDN pin on the LT4356IDE-3#PBF?
The SHDN pin on the LT4356IDE-3#PBF is an active-low control that shuts down all internal circuitry-including GATE drive and auxiliary amplifier-reducing quiescent current to <7µA. It tolerates –60V to +100V and requires a ≥100µs low pulse followed by a >10V/ms rising edge to reset a latched-off GATE state.
Does the LT4356IDE-3#PBF include reverse polarity protection capability?
Yes-the LT4356IDE-3#PBF supports reverse input protection by enabling back-to-back N-channel MOSFET configurations. Its VCC, SNS, and SHDN pins tolerate –60V, allowing direct connection to reversed battery inputs without external diodes, thereby eliminating forward voltage drop and associated power loss.
