Product details
Overview
LT4356MPS-2#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) via external N-channel MOSFET gate control. It features 4V–80V operating range, 50mV overcurrent sense threshold, –60V reverse input tolerance, 60µA shutdown current, and guaranteed operation from –55°C to 125°C. It is used in automotive power distribution systems requiring uninterrupted operation under transient stress.
For engineers reviewing the LT4356MPS-2#PBF datasheet, LT4356MPS-2#PBF pinout, LT4356MPS-2#PBF application, or LT4356MPS-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include adjustable fault timer response, auxiliary amplifier functionality during shutdown, reverse input protection capability, and SO-16 package compatibility with industrial-grade thermal performance (θJA = 100°C/W).
Technical Context
The LT4356MPS-2#PBF implements dual-fault protection using independent voltage and current amplifiers: the FB amplifier servo-regulates output clamp voltage by controlling GATE to maintain 1.25V at FB, while the SNS amplifier limits VCC–SNS differential to 50mV for overcurrent protection. Fault timing is dynamically scaled by VDS (VCC–OUT), enabling adaptive MOSFET safe operating area (SOA) management.
Unlike the LT4356MP-1 variant, the LT4356MPS-2#PBF maintains auxiliary amplifier operation and 60µA shutdown current during SHDN assertion-enabling undervoltage lockout or always-on linear regulator control without full system reset. Its SO-16 package includes dedicated IN+ and AOUT pins for auxiliary amplifier interface, absent in the MSOP variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4V to 80V - supports cold-crank automotive operation and withstands 80V transients without damage. |
| Overcurrent Sense Threshold | 50mV (ΔVSNS) - sets precise current limit independent of supply voltage; enables accurate RSENSE selection. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | 60µA - preserves auxiliary amplifier bias during shutdown for UVLO or standby regulation functions. |
| Reverse Input Tolerance | –60V - allows direct connection to reversed battery inputs without external diode or protection circuitry. |
| Temperature Range | –55°C to 125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial embedded environments. |
| GATE Drive Range | 4.5V to 16V above OUT - ensures robust turn-on of standard-threshold N-channel MOSFETs across full VCC range. |
| Fault Timer Current Scaling | 2µA to 260µA (VDS-dependent) - shortens fault timeout under high-power overcurrent conditions to prevent MOSFET destruction. |
Pinout & Package
LT4356MPS-2#PBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic SO package (SO-16), with θJA = 100°C/W and rated for –55°C to 125°C operation. Pin 1 is TMR; pin 16 is SHDN. The package includes dedicated IN+ and AOUT pins for auxiliary amplifier use, distinguishing it from the 10-lead MSOP variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TMR | Fault timer capacitor node | Charged by VDS-scaled current during faults; thresholds at 1.25V (FLT assert) and 1.35V (GATE off). |
| FB | Voltage regulation feedback input | Servo point for 1.25V reference; sets output clamp voltage via external resistor divider from OUT. |
| OUT | MOSFET source voltage sense | Detects pass transistor conduction state; enables EN pin latching and VDS-based timer scaling. |
| GATE | N-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Pulled up by internal charge pump; clamped to ≤14V above OUT; drives external high-side switch. |
| SNS | Current sense input | Monitors VCC–SNS differential; triggers overcurrent protection when ΔV ≥ 50mV. |
| VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 4V–80V; withstands –60V reverse bias; powers all internal blocks except auxiliary amp in LT4356-1. |
| IN+ | Auxiliary amplifier non-inverting input | Enables comparator or linear regulator control; clamped to 7V; unused must be grounded. |
| AOUT | Auxiliary amplifier open-collector output | Sinks up to 2mA from 80V; usable for LED drive or optocoupler interface during shutdown (LT4356-2 only). |
| GND | Device ground reference | Common return for all analog and digital circuitry; connects to system ground plane. |
| EN | Open-collector enable output | High-impedance when MOSFET is fully on (VOUT > VCC – 0.7V); latched until OUT resets. |
| FLT | Open-collector fault indicator | Pulls low at VTMR = 1.25V; signals impending power-down due to overvoltage or overcurrent. |
| SHDN | Shutdown control input | Pulled below 0.4V to enter shutdown; tolerates –60V to 100V; controls quiescent current mode (60µA for LT4356-2). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dynamic fault timer scaling | VDS-proportional timer current (2–260µA) ensures MOSFET stays within SOA during both overvoltage and overcurrent events. |
| Reverse input protection | –60V tolerance on VCC and SHDN pins eliminates need for external Schottky diode or reverse-polarity circuitry. |
| Always-on auxiliary amplifier | Remains active during shutdown (60µA mode), enabling undervoltage lockout or standby regulator control without wake-up delay. |
| Adjustable output clamp | 1.25V FB reference with external resistor divider allows precise output voltage regulation during transients (e.g., 27V clamp). |
| Robust gate drive | Charge-pump-based GATE output delivers ≥10V drive above OUT up to 80V VCC, ensuring reliable N-MOSFET turn-on. |

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT4356MPS-2#PBF and LT4356MPS-1#PBF?
The LT4356MPS-2#PBF maintains auxiliary amplifier operation and draws 60µA shutdown current, whereas the LT4356MPS-1#PBF disables the auxiliary amplifier and draws only 7µA in shutdown. This makes LT4356MPS-2#PBF suitable for applications requiring undervoltage detection or standby regulation during low-power states-functions unavailable in LT4356MPS-1#PBF. Both share identical overvoltage/overcurrent protection architecture and SO-16 pinout.
Can LT4356MPS-2#PBF protect against reverse battery connection?
Yes, LT4356MPS-2#PBF tolerates –60V on both VCC and SHDN pins, enabling direct connection to reversed battery terminals without external protection diodes. During reverse polarity, the internal circuitry remains undamaged and draws minimal leakage current. However, external back-to-back N-MOSFETs must be used in the power path to block reverse current flow-LT4356MPS-2#PBF itself does not provide active reverse-current blocking.
How does the fault timer in LT4356MPS-2#PBF adapt to different overvoltage magnitudes?
The LT4356MPS-2#PBF charges the TMR capacitor with a current proportional to VDS (VCC–OUT). For an 80V overvoltage event, timer current reaches ~50µA, resulting in faster FLT assertion and shorter total fault time versus a 20V event (~8µA). This VDS-scaling ensures the external MOSFET operates within its safe operating area across the full transient spectrum-preventing thermal runaway during high-energy surges while allowing ride-through of benign spikes.
What is the minimum recommended TMR capacitor value for stable operation of LT4356MPS-2#PBF?
LT4356MPS-2#PBF requires a minimum 10nF ceramic capacitor (X7R, 10V rating) between TMR and GND for loop compensation and stable regulation. Smaller values risk oscillation in the voltage control loop or erratic fault timing. Larger capacitors extend warning and cooldown periods linearly-e.g., a 100nF capacitor yields ~2ms warning time and ~425ms cooldown-but must remain within voltage derating limits for the selected dielectric.
Does LT4356MPS-2#PBF support adjustable overvoltage clamp voltage?
Yes, LT4356MPS-2#PBF supports fully adjustable output clamp voltage via the FB pin. Connecting a resistive divider from OUT to GND sets the regulated output level using the internal 1.25V reference: VOUT = 1.25V × (1 + R1/R2). This allows precise clamping at values such as 27V (automotive), 36V (industrial), or 48V (telecom), with stability maintained across temperature and load variations per the datasheet's compensation guidelines.
