Product details
Overview
LT4363IDE-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 0.5V TMR restart threshold. It protects industrial power supplies and avionic systems against sustained overvoltage and overcurrent faults.
For engineers reviewing the LT4363IDE-2#PBF datasheet, LT4363IDE-2#PBF pinout, LT4363IDE-2#PBF application, or LT4363IDE-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 85°C operating range, 4V–80V input voltage support, 7µA shutdown current, 12-lead DFN (4mm × 3mm) package, and LT4363-2 auto-restart behavior versus latch-off LT4363-1 variants.
Technical Context
The LT4363IDE-2#PBF integrates dual precision comparators for independent UV (1.275V) and OV (1.275V) monitoring, a 50mV current-sense amplifier with foldback to 25mV below 2V OUT, and a VCC-referenced fault timer whose charging current scales with VDS (VCC–OUT) - ranging from ~4µA at 0.5V to 50µA at 75V for overvoltage, and up to 260µA for overcurrent. Its gate driver delivers 13V above OUT with 14V clamp protection.
Unlike the LT4363-1, the LT4363IDE-2#PBF uses a 2µA cool-down current source that reverses direction at 4.3V on the TMR pin, enabling automatic restart when TMR falls to 0.5V - provided OV < 1.275V. The ENOUT pin latches high-impedance only when OUT is within 0.5V of VCC and >3V above GND, indicating full MOSFET conduction.

Pinout & Package
LT4363IDE-2#PBF is housed in a 12-lead (4mm × 3mm) plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 13), rated for θJA = 43°C/W. Pin 13 must be connected to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TMR | Fault timer capacitor node | Charges with VDS-scaled current; 1.275V = FLT warning, 1.375V = MOSFET off, 0.5V = auto-restart trigger (LT4363-2) |
| ENOUT | Open-collector enable output | High-impedance when OUT is within 0.5V of VCC and ≥3V above GND - confirms full MOSFET conduction |
| FLT | Open-collector fault indicator | Pulls low at TMR = 1.275V; remains low until fault clears and TMR resets (LT4363-2) or SHDN reset (LT4363-1) |
| GND | Device ground reference | Common return for internal circuitry; exposed pad (Pin 13) is electrically and thermally tied to GND |
| UV | Undervoltage comparator input | Pull-down GATE if voltage falls below 1.275V; connect to VCC if unused |
| OV | Overvoltage comparator input (LT4363-2 only) | Inhibits retry while >1.275V; prevents oscillation during sustained overvoltage |
| FB | Output voltage feedback input | Sets regulated clamp voltage via resistive divider; 1.275V servo target enables adjustable output clamping |
| OUT | MOSFET source voltage sense | Reference point for SNS current sensing and VDS calculation used by TMR current scaling |
| SNS | Current sense input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor; 50mV limit ensures accurate, temperature-stable current control |
| GATE | N-MOSFET gate drive output | Charge-pump-driven to 13V above OUT; 14V clamp protects gate during fault conditions |
| VCC | Main supply input | 4V–80V operation; supports –60V reverse bias; powers internal circuitry and charge pump |
| SHDN | Shutdown control input | ≤0.4V disables all functions; ≤7µA quiescent current; withstands –60V to +100V |

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT4363IDE-2#PBF and LT4363IDE-1#PBF?
The LT4363IDE-2#PBF implements auto-retry fault recovery: after a fault timeout, it automatically restarts once the TMR pin discharges to 0.5V, provided the OV pin voltage is below 1.275V. In contrast, the LT4363IDE-1#PBF latches off permanently until manually reset via the SHDN pin. This makes LT4363IDE-2#PBF ideal for unattended systems requiring autonomous recovery from transient overvoltage or overcurrent events.
How does the LT4363IDE-2#PBF achieve VDS-adaptive fault timing?
The LT4363IDE-2#PBF measures VDS indirectly as VCC–OUT and scales the TMR charging current accordingly - from ~4µA at 0.5V VDS to 50µA at 75V for overvoltage, and up to 260µA for overcurrent. This dynamic scaling ensures shorter fault timeouts under high stress, keeping the external MOSFET within its Safe Operating Area. The LT4363IDE-2#PBF's TMR pin directly reflects this adaptive behavior.
Can LT4363IDE-2#PBF be used with back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs for reverse polarity protection?
Yes. The LT4363IDE-2#PBF supports reverse-input protection using back-to-back N-MOSFETs because its SHDN, UV, OV, and VCC pins tolerate –60V. This eliminates the forward voltage drop and power loss of a Schottky diode while maintaining full control over both MOSFET gates via the single GATE output. The LT4363IDE-2#PBF's robust pin ratings make it suitable for battery-powered systems prone to accidental reverse connection.
What is the role of the OV pin on LT4363IDE-2#PBF, and how should it be configured?
The OV pin on LT4363IDE-2#PBF is an overvoltage comparator input that inhibits auto-retry while its voltage exceeds 1.275V. During sustained overvoltage, this prevents motorboating by blocking GATE re-enable until the input returns to a safe level. If unused, the OV pin must be grounded. Its presence distinguishes LT4363IDE-2#PBF from LT4363-1 variants and is essential for reliable operation in environments with persistent overvoltage threats.
Does LT4363IDE-2#PBF require an external current sense resistor, and what is its typical value?
Yes, LT4363IDE-2#PBF requires an external current sense resistor between the SNS and OUT pins. With a nominal 50mV sense threshold, a 10mΩ resistor sets a 5A current limit (50mV / 10mΩ = 5A). For higher currents, lower resistance values are used - e.g., 5mΩ for 10A - ensuring the voltage drop stays within the specified 50mV (or 25mV under severe short) window. The LT4363IDE-2#PBF's precision sense amplifier maintains accuracy across temperature and supply variations.
