Product details
Overview
LT4356IS-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, features adjustable 1.25V feedback clamp, 50mV overcurrent sense threshold, and fault latching with timer-based shutdown. It operates from 4V to 80V input, supports reverse input down to –60V, and delivers robust protection in battery-powered high-side switch applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT4356IS-3#PBF datasheet, LT4356IS-3#PBF pinout, LT4356IS-3#PBF application, or LT4356IS-3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-pin SO package, AEC-Q100 qualification for –40°C to 85°C operation, integrated fault timer with voltage-dependent current scaling, auxiliary amplifier for level detection or linear regulator control, and precise 1.25V FB reference with ±25mV tolerance over temperature.
Technical Context
The LT4356IS-3#PBF implements dual-loop protection: a voltage servo loop maintains 1.25V at FB via GATE control during overvoltage, while a current-sense amplifier limits ΔVSNS to 50mV across the external sense resistor. Its TMR pin charges with a VDS-dependent current-ranging from 2µA at 0.5V to 50µA at 75V during overvoltage, and up to 260µA during overcurrent-to dynamically adapt fault timing to MOSFET safe operating area constraints.
It integrates a 7µA shutdown mode, SHDN pin tolerant to –60V to 100V, open-collector FLT and EN outputs rated for 80V sink capability, and an auxiliary amplifier (AOUT/IN+) with internal 1.25V reference-enabling comparator or PNP linear regulator control without external references. The device latches off after fault timeout and requires active SHDN reset with >10V/ms slew rate.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4V to 80V - enables cold-crank operation and withstands automotive load dump transients. |
| Overvoltage Clamp Reference | 1.25V at FB pin ±25mV - sets precise output regulation point via external resistive divider. |
| Overcurrent Sense Threshold | 50mV ΔVSNS - limits power dissipation in external sense resistor and ensures fast current limiting. |
| Fault Timer Current Range | 2µA to 260µA - scales with VDS to enforce MOSFET SOA compliance during faults. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | <7µA - minimizes battery drain in always-on automotive systems. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade I for under-hood automotive use. |
| Package | 16-Lead Plastic SO - industry-standard footprint with θJA = 100°C/W for thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
LT4356IS-3#PBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic SO package (JEDEC MS-012AC) with exposed pad optional grounding. Pin functions are electrically identical to the SO variant shown in Rev F datasheet Figure 2 (top view), including NC pins at positions 3, 6, and 12.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TMR | Fault timer capacitor connection | Charges with VDS-scaled current; 1.25V threshold triggers FLT warning, 1.35V triggers GATE latchoff. |
| FB | Voltage regulation feedback input | Servo point for 1.25V reference; connects to center tap of output divider to set regulated output voltage. |
| OUT | MOSFET source voltage sense | Senses VDS for timer current scaling and enables EN pin state indication (high-Z when MOSFET fully on). |
| GATE | N-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Charge-pump-driven output clamped to 14V above OUT; provides up to 150mA pull-down for fast turn-off. |
| SNS | Current sense input | Monitors voltage drop between VCC and SNS; internal amplifier holds ΔVSNS = 50mV during overcurrent. |
| VCC | Main supply input | Operates from 4V–80V; withstands –60V reverse bias; powers all internal circuitry including charge pump. |
| IN+ | Auxiliary amplifier non-inverting input | Accepts external signal for comparator or regulator control; clamped to 7V max; unused must be grounded. |
| AOUT | Auxiliary amplifier output | Open-collector output capable of sinking 2mA up to 80V; drives LEDs, optos, or PNP base. |
| GND | Device ground reference | Primary return path; exposed pad may be connected to PCB GND for improved thermal performance. |
| EN | Enable status indicator | Open-collector output goes high-Z when MOSFET is fully on (VOUT > VVCC – 0.7V); latched until reset. |
| FLT | Fault warning output | Pulls low at VTMR = 1.25V to signal impending shutdown; sinks up to 3mA from 80V. |
| SHDN | Shutdown control input | TTL-compatible input; pulls low (<0.4V for 100µs) to enter 7µA shutdown; withstands –60V to 100V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage-dependent fault timer | Timer current scales with VDS (2–50µA OV, 4–260µA OC) to enforce MOSFET SOA compliance without fixed-time compromises. |
| Integrated auxiliary amplifier | Internal 1.25V reference + AOUT/IN+ pins enable standalone level detection or PNP linear regulator control without external references. |
| Reverse input protection support | Withstands –60V on VCC and SNS; enables back-to-back N-FET configuration to replace Schottky diode, reducing voltage drop and power loss. |
| Latched fault shutdown | GATE remains off after timeout until SHDN is pulsed low (<0.4V, 100µs) and raised with >10V/ms slew rate-prevents uncontrolled restart during fault persistence. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified operation | Rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient (Grade I); validated for automotive reliability including HTOL, TC, and ESD requirements. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LT4356IS-3#PBF can withstand?
The LT4356IS-3#PBF supports continuous operation from 4V to 80V on the VCC pin and can withstand reverse input voltages down to –60V without damage. Absolute maximum rating for VCC is –60V to 100V, making it suitable for automotive battery systems subject to load dump and reverse polarity events. This rating applies directly to the LT4356IS-3#PBF in its 16-lead SO package.
How does the LT4356IS-3#PBF implement overvoltage protection?
The LT4356IS-3#PBF uses a voltage servo loop that regulates the GATE pin to maintain 1.25V at the FB pin, thereby clamping the output voltage to a user-defined level set by an external resistive divider. During sustained overvoltage, the TMR pin charges with a current proportional to VDS; when VTMR reaches 1.25V, FLT asserts, and at 1.35V, GATE is latched low. This behavior is confirmed for the LT4356IS-3#PBF across its full –40°C to +85°C operating range.
What is the purpose of the AOUT and IN+ pins on the LT4356IS-3#PBF?
The AOUT and IN+ pins form an auxiliary amplifier with internal 1.25V reference, enabling two primary functions: (1) as a comparator for voltage monitoring (e.g., battery undervoltage detection), or (2) as a linear regulator controller driving an external PNP pass transistor. AOUT sinks up to 2mA at up to 80V, and IN+ is clamped to 7V max. These pins are present and fully functional on the LT4356IS-3#PBF SO package.
Can the LT4356IS-3#PBF be used with back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs for reverse polarity protection?
Yes-the LT4356IS-3#PBF supports reverse input protection to –60V on VCC and SNS, and its gate drive architecture allows implementation of back-to-back N-FET configurations to replace Schottky diodes. This reduces forward voltage drop and power loss compared to diode-based solutions, and is explicitly supported in the LT4356IS-3#PBF datasheet design guidelines.
How is the LT4356IS-3#PBF reset after a fault-induced latchoff?
After GATE latchoff, the LT4356IS-3#PBF requires an active reset: pull SHDN low to <0.4V 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. The TMR pin must discharge to ~0.5V (typical discharge current 2.2µA) before successful restart-verified for the LT4356IS-3#PBF SO variant.
