Product details
Overview
LT4363HS-2#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage surge stopper IC that controls an external N-channel MOSFET to regulate output voltage during overvoltage transients up to 150V, limits current via 50mV SNS–OUT sense threshold, and features auto-restart (LT4363-2) with adjustable fault timer. It operates from 4V to 80V input, supports –60V reverse input protection, and delivers precise UV/OV monitoring for industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT4363HS-2#PBF datasheet, LT4363HS-2#PBF pinout, LT4363HS-2#PBF application, or LT4363HS-2#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, SO-16 package layout, thermal-safe fault timing behavior, and direct alternatives for hot-swap, avionic surge protection, and battery-powered high-side switch designs.
Technical Context
The LT4363HS-2#PBF implements dual-loop protection: a voltage amplifier regulates GATE to hold FB at 1.275V during overvoltage, while a current amplifier maintains ΔVSNS = 50mV (or 25mV if OUT < 2V) during overcurrent. Fault detection triggers a VDS-dependent TMR capacitor charging current-ranging from 4µA to 50µA in overvoltage and 8µA to 260µA in overcurrent-to dynamically scale timer duration per MOSFET safe operating area.
Unlike the latch-off LT4363-1, the LT4363HS-2#PBF integrates automatic retry after cool-down: TMR discharges to 0.5V (retry threshold), then GATE re-enables the MOSFET-provided OV < 1.275V. Its SO-16 package includes dedicated OV and UV pins, exposed GND pads on pins 7/14, and SHDN tolerance from –60V to 100V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 80V continuous operation; withstands –60V reverse input without damage. |
| Output Clamp Regulation | Adjustable via FB divider; 1.275V reference enables precise 12V–27V clamping (e.g., 27V clamp shown in typical application). |
| Current Limit Threshold | 50mV across SNS–OUT (typical); reduces to 25mV when OUT < 2V to limit MOSFET stress during hard shorts. |
| Fault Timer Behavior | Auto-restart (LT4363-2): TMR cools to 0.5V → GATE re-enabled; OV > 1.275V inhibits retry to prevent motorboating. |
| Shutdown Current | ≤7µA at SHDN ≤ 0.4V; SHDN pin tolerates –60V to 100V, enabling robust system-level control. |
| Propagation Delays | tOFF(OV) = 0.25–1µs; tOFF(OC) = 1–2.5µs; enables fast response to transients before downstream damage occurs. |
| Package & Temp Range | 16-pin SO (S package); rated for –40°C to +125°C (H-grade), suitable for under-hood and industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
LT4363HS-2#PBF uses a 16-lead plastic SO package (S package) with exposed GND on pins 7 and 14. Pin 1 is top-left corner (OUT), pin 16 is bottom-right (OV). GND connections are on pins 7, 14, and internally tied.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT (Pin 1) | Output voltage sense input | Senses source of external N-MOSFET; sets VDS-dependent TMR current and ENOUT latching threshold (0.5V below VCC). |
| SNS (Pin 2) | Current sense input | Connects to high-side of sense resistor; ΔVSNS regulated to 50mV (or 25mV if OUT < 2V) to enforce current limit. |
| NC (Pin 3) | No connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines. |
| GATE (Pin 4) | N-MOSFET gate drive output | Charge-pump driven; clamped to ≤14V above OUT; pulls down with ≥50mA sink capability during faults. |
| NC (Pin 5) | No connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or grounded. |
| VCC (Pin 6) | Main supply input | 4V–80V operating range; withstands –60V reverse bias; powers internal circuitry and charge pump. |
| NC (Pin 7) | GND (exposed pad) | Exposed thermal pad tied to GND; improves thermal dissipation and EMI performance. |
| SHDN (Pin 8) | Shutdown control input | Pull ≤0.4V to enter 7µA shutdown; tolerates –60V to 100V; no external pull-up required due to internal source. |
| FB (Pin 9) | Feedback input for OV regulation | 1.275V reference point; connects to resistive divider from OUT to GND to set clamp voltage (e.g., 27V). |
| TMR (Pin 10) | Fault timer capacitor connection | Capacitor to GND sets warning (1.275V), turn-off (1.375V), and retry (0.5V) thresholds; current scales with VCC–OUT. |
| NC (Pin 11) | No connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or grounded. |
| ENOUT (Pin 12) | Enable output indicator | Open-collector; goes high-Z when OUT ≥ VCC – 0.5V and ≥ 3V, signaling MOSFET fully on. |
| FLT (Pin 13) | Fault indicator output | Open-collector; pulls low at TMR = 1.275V (early warning); remains low until TMR ≤ 0.5V (LT4363-2) or reset (LT4363-1). |
| GND (Pin 14) | Device ground | Primary GND connection; ties to exposed pad (Pin 7) for thermal and noise integrity. |
| UV (Pin 15) | Undervoltage comparator input | 1.275V threshold; pulls GATE low if UV < 1.275V; hysteresis = 12mV; connect to VCC if unused. |
| OV (Pin 16) | Overvoltage comparator input | 1.275V threshold; blocks retry if OV > 1.275V (LT4363-2 only); connect to GND if unused. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| VDS-dependent fault timing | TMR current scales with (VCC – OUT), shortening timer during high-stress conditions to protect MOSFET SOA. |
| Auto-restart with OV inhibition | LT4363-2 version restarts after TMR cools to 0.5V-but only if OV pin < 1.275V, preventing oscillation during sustained surges. |
| Reverse input protection support | SHDN, UV, OV, and VCC tolerate –60V; enables back-to-back N-MOSFET configuration replacing Schottky diodes. |
| Fast, accurate current limiting | 50mV sense threshold with <5µs response; reduced to 25mV during severe shorts (OUT < 2V) to minimize MOSFET power loss. |
| Robust shutdown interface | 7µA shutdown current; SHDN pin withstands –60V to 100V, eliminating need for external level-shifting circuitry. |

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT4363HS-2#PBF and LT4363HS-1#PBF?
The LT4363HS-2#PBF implements auto-restart functionality: after a fault timeout, it automatically resumes operation once the TMR capacitor discharges to 0.5V-provided the OV pin voltage is below 1.275V. In contrast, the LT4363HS-1#PBF latches off permanently and requires an active SHDN pulse (≤100µs low) to reset. This makes LT4363HS-2#PBF ideal for unattended systems needing autonomous recovery from transient overvoltage or overcurrent events.
How does the LT4363HS-2#PBF achieve VDS-dependent fault timing?
The LT4363HS-2#PBF measures VDS indirectly via the voltage difference between VCC and OUT pins. This differential drives a current source into the TMR capacitor: higher VDS yields higher charging current (e.g., 4µA at VDS ≤ 0.5V, up to 50µA at VDS = 75V for overvoltage). As a result, fault duration shortens under high-stress conditions-keeping the external MOSFET within its safe operating area without requiring manual derating.
Can LT4363HS-2#PBF be used with P-channel MOSFETs?
No, the LT4363HS-2#PBF is designed exclusively for N-channel MOSFETs. Its GATE driver is a charge-pump-based high-side driver referenced to the OUT pin (source), capable of pulling GATE up to 14V above OUT. Driving a P-channel MOSFET would require low-side gate control relative to VCC-an architecture incompatible with LT4363HS-2#PBF's internal amplifier topology and feedback loop.
What is the minimum TMR capacitor value required for stable operation of LT4363HS-2#PBF?
The LT4363HS-2#PBF requires a minimum 10nF capacitor on the TMR pin to ensure loop stability and reliable fault timing. Smaller values may cause erratic FLT assertion or failed auto-restart due to insufficient filtering of internal current-source noise. For standard 27V clamp applications with 100ms surge ride-through, a 6.8µF ceramic capacitor is commonly used-yielding ~97ms total fault time before turn-off.
Does LT4363HS-2#PBF support reverse polarity protection without additional components?
Yes-the LT4363HS-2#PBF supports reverse input protection natively: its VCC, SHDN, UV, and OV pins tolerate –60V, and the GATE driver remains inactive when OUT < UV threshold. When paired with a second N-channel MOSFET in back-to-back configuration (source-to-source), it replaces Schottky diodes entirely-eliminating forward voltage drop and thermal losses while maintaining full –60V survivability without external TVS or diodes.
