Product details
Overview
LT4363HMS-2#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage surge stopper IC that controls an external N-channel MOSFET to regulate output voltage during transients up to 150V, limits current via 50mV SNS–OUT sense threshold, features adjustable UV/OV comparators (1.275V thresholds), and implements auto-retry fault recovery with <2% duty cycle. It protects industrial power supplies and avionic systems against sustained overvoltage and short-circuit faults.
For engineers reviewing the LT4363HMS-2#PBF datasheet, LT4363HMS-2#PBF pinout, LT4363HMS-2#PBF application, or LT4363HMS-2#PBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, MSOP-12 package layout, thermal-safe fault timing behavior, reverse-input protection to –60V, and design-meaningful alternatives for hot-swap and battery-fed high-side switch implementations.
Technical Context
The LT4363HMS-2#PBF uses dual feedback loops: a voltage servo (FB pin, 1.275V reference) regulating GATE to clamp output during >80V surges, and a current servo (SNS–OUT, 50mV threshold) limiting MOSFET conduction during overloads. Its TMR pin integrates variable-current charging-scaled to VCC–VOUT-to dynamically adapt fault timing to MOSFET SOA constraints.
Unlike the latch-off LT4363-1 variant, the -2 version implements automatic cool-down and retry: after TMR discharges to 0.5V, GATE re-enables without external reset. The OV pin (present only in -2) inhibits retry while input remains above 1.275V, preventing oscillation during sustained overvoltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4V to 80V input; survives –60V reverse bias - enables direct battery connection without external diode. |
| Output Clamp Regulation | Adjustable via FB divider; 1.275V reference sets precise output clamping - supports 12V, 24V, or 27V system protection points. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 50mV across SNS–OUT (25mV if OUT < 2V) - allows accurate, low-loss current sensing with standard 10mΩ shunts. |
| Fault Timer Behavior | Auto-retry (-2 version): TMR cools to 0.5V → GATE re-enables; no manual reset required - improves system uptime in transient-rich environments. |
| Shutdown Current | <7µA at SHDN ≤ 0.4V - preserves battery life in always-on avionics or remote sensors. |
| UV/OV Comparator Thresholds | 1.275V ±12mV (UV), 1.275V ±7.5mV (OV) - enables precise supply monitoring with minimal external components. |
| Package & Temp Grade | 12-lead MSOP; –40°C to +125°C operating range - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial control cabinets. |
Pinout & Package
LT4363HMS-2#PBF is housed in a 12-lead plastic MSOP package (3mm × 4.9mm, 0.65mm pitch), rated for –40°C to +125°C operation. Exposed pad not present in MSOP; thermal performance defined by θJA = 135°C/W.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 FB | Voltage regulation feedback input | Connects to resistive divider from OUT to GND; 1.275V reference enables precise output clamping without trimming. |
| 2 OUT | MOSFET source voltage sense | Senses source node of external N-MOSFET; used with SNS to compute current and with VCC to scale TMR fault timing. |
| 3 SNS | Current sense input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor; 50mV threshold minimizes I²R loss and PCB heating. |
| 4 GATE | N-MOSFET gate driver output | Charge-pump-driven, clamped to 14V above OUT; drives logic-level or standard N-channel MOSFETs directly. |
| 5 VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 4V–80V; withstands –60V reverse - eliminates need for input polarity protection diode. |
| 6 SHDN | Active-low shutdown control | Pull ≤0.4V to reduce ICC to <7µA; tolerates –60V to +100V - safe for direct connection to unregulated battery rails. |
| 7 TMR | Fault timer capacitor interface | Capacitor here sets warning delay (1.275V), turn-off (1.375V), and cool-down (4.3V→0.5V) timing - adapts to MOSFET SOA. |
| 8 ENOUT | Open-collector enable status output | High-Z when MOSFET fully on (VOUT ≥ VCC–0.5V); latched until VOUT < 2V - signals healthy pass device operation. |
| 9 FLT | Open-collector fault indicator | Pulls low at TMR = 1.275V (early warning); stays low until fault clears and TMR discharges to 0.5V (–2 version). |
| 10 GND | Device ground reference | Single ground connection; all internal references and comparators referenced to this pin. |
| 11 UV | Undervoltage comparator input | 1.275V threshold disables GATE until input rises above UV level - prevents brownout operation. |
| 12 OV | Overvoltage comparator input (LT4363-2 only) | 1.275V threshold blocks retry while input remains overvoltage - avoids motorboating during sustained surges. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-retry fault recovery | LT4363HMS-2#PBF restarts after TMR cools to 0.5V - eliminates manual reset in inaccessible deployments like UAV power systems. |
| Reverse input protection | Withstands –60V on VCC/SHDN/UV/OV - enables direct connection to vehicle batteries without Schottky diodes or MOSFET stacks. |
| Dynamic fault timing | TMR current scales with VCC–VOUT; higher stress → faster shutdown - enforces MOSFET SOA compliance across load conditions. |
| Low-quiescent shutdown | 7µA shutdown current at –40°C to +125°C - extends runtime in battery-powered portable test equipment. |
| Dual independent comparators | Separate UV and OV inputs with 1.275V thresholds and built-in hysteresis - simplifies supply monitoring without external op-amps. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LT4363HMS-2#PBF can withstand without damage?
The LT4363HMS-2#PBF has an absolute maximum VCC rating of 100V and can survive reverse-bias conditions down to –60V. During normal operation, it regulates output for input surges up to 150V using external MOSFET clamping - but sustained DC input must remain ≤80V per its operating range specification. This makes LT4363HMS-2#PBF suitable for automotive load-dump and industrial 72V DC systems.
How does the LT4363HMS-2#PBF differ from the LT4363HMS-1#PBF?
The LT4363HMS-2#PBF implements auto-retry fault recovery: after TMR discharges to 0.5V, GATE automatically re-enables. In contrast, the LT4363HMS-1#PBF latches off permanently until SHDN is pulsed low for ≥100µs. Both share identical pinout, specs, and temperature grade (–40°C to +125°C), but only the -2 version supports hands-off recovery in transient-prone environments.
Can the LT4363HMS-2#PBF be used with P-channel MOSFETs?
No - the LT4363HMS-2#PBF is designed exclusively for N-channel MOSFETs configured in high-side topology. Its GATE driver pulls up relative to OUT (not GND), enabling efficient drive of N-FETs with source-connected to load. Driving a P-FET would require inversion and level-shifting incompatible with LT4363HMS-2#PBF's architecture and timing control.
What is the purpose of the OV pin on the LT4363HMS-2#PBF?
The OV pin on LT4363HMS-2#PBF is an overvoltage comparator input (1.275V threshold) that inhibits auto-retry while active. When OV > 1.275V, the GATE remains off even after TMR cools to 0.5V - preventing oscillation ("motorboating") during sustained input overvoltage. Leaving OV unconnected or tied to GND disables this function; tying to VCC enables basic UV-only operation.
Does the LT4363HMS-2#PBF require an external current sense resistor?
Yes - the LT4363HMS-2#PBF relies on an external sense resistor between SNS and OUT pins to implement current limiting. With a 50mV threshold, a 10mΩ resistor sets a 5A limit (50mV ÷ 10mΩ). The IC actively regulates GATE to hold ΔVSNS–OUT at 50mV (or 25mV if OUT < 2V), eliminating need for amplifiers or ADCs in overcurrent protection circuits.
