Product details
Overview
LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage surge stopper IC that protects downstream loads by regulating output voltage during overvoltage transients up to >500V using an external N-channel MOSFET. It features adjustable overvoltage clamping (via FB divider), 9-second auto-retry cool-down timer, shutdown current <14µA, and operates from 9V to >500V input. It is used in 28V vehicle systems requiring uninterrupted operation during transient surges.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF pinout, LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF application, or LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world timing behavior, confirmed thermal limits, and validated alternative options for rugged DC distribution designs.
Technical Context
The LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF implements a floating topology where internal circuitry is powered from OUT (not VIN), enabling operation with input voltages far exceeding its own pin ratings - limited only by external MOSFET and resistor selection. Its overvoltage regulation amplifier maintains FB = OUT − 1.23V via gate control of the external N-MOSFET, while the TIMER pin charges at 9µA to trigger fault after programmable duration.
Unlike latch-off variants, the LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF auto-retries after a fixed 9-second cool-down period following overvoltage fault, with no external reset required. Shutdown is activated when SD falls >1.5V below VDD for ≥700µs, reducing total quiescent current to <20µA (excluding shunt regulator currents).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Overvoltage Clamp Accuracy | FB regulation threshold = 1.23V ±0.037V (OUT − FB), enabling precise output voltage setting via RFB1/RFB2 ratio |
| Cool-Down Timer | Fixed 9-second internal timeout after overvoltage fault, allowing automatic recovery without host intervention |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | <14µA total IVDD + IOUT, critical for battery-backed or low-power always-on systems |
| Operating Input Range | 9V to >500V VIN supported via floating architecture - device pins see only regulated internal rails (VDD ≤12V, OUT ≤5.7V) |
| Package & Temp Grade | 8-lead TSOT-23, commercial grade (0°C to 70°C), footprint-compatible with all LTC4366-2 variants |
| GATE Drive Capability | 200mA fast-discharge pull-down + charge pump delivering 12V above OUT, sufficient to drive large N-MOSFETs (e.g., IXTK90N25L2) |
| UVLO Thresholds | UVLO1 = 2.6V (OUT), UVLO2 = 4.75V (OUT) - ensures stable start-up and charge pump enablement before regulation |
Pinout & Package
8-lead TSOT-23 package (JEDEC MO-193AA), 3mm × 1.7mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad optional for thermal relief.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Start-up supply input | Supplies 7.5µA gate-charge current; clamped to 12V above VSS - must not be bypassed |
| SD | Shutdown comparator input | Active-low control: pulled up internally with 1.6µA; triggers shutdown when >1.5V below VDD for ≥700µs |
| TIMER | Overvoltage duration timer input | Charged at 9µA; fault triggered when voltage reaches 2.8V; open = 1µs regulation window |
| VSS | Device return and substrate | Reference for all voltages; bypass capacitors for OUT and TIMER must connect here |
| GATE | N-MOSFET gate driver output | Drives external FET gate; includes 200mA pull-down for fast turn-off during overvoltage |
| OUT | Floating supply rail | Power source for internal charge pump and regulation amplifier; clamped to 5.7V above VSS |
| FB | Overvoltage feedback input | Senses voltage drop across RFB1; regulates OUT so OUT − FB = 1.23V ±0.037V |
| BASE | External PNP base driver | Connects to anode of internal 6.2V Zener; enables low-current shunt regulation with external PNP transistor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Floating architecture | Enables >500V input protection using standard 28V-rated MOSFETs and resistors - no special high-voltage IC required |
| Auto-retry fault recovery | LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF automatically resumes operation after 9 seconds, eliminating need for manual reset or system-level intervention |
| Adjustable overvoltage clamp | Output voltage set precisely via external RFB1/RFB2 divider - e.g., 43V clamp achieved with 12.4kΩ/422kΩ (Figure TA01a) |
| Low-power shutdown mode | Reduces total supply current to <20µA, preserving battery life in always-connected automotive or avionic systems |
| Robust gate drive | Integrated 200mA pull-down and 12V charge-pump boost ensure reliable turn-off and full enhancement of high-side N-MOSFETs |

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF and LTC4366CTS8-1#TRMPBF?
The LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF implements auto-retry behavior after overvoltage fault, automatically restarting after a fixed 9-second cool-down period. In contrast, the LTC4366CTS8-1#TRMPBF latches off permanently until the SD pin is toggled externally. This makes the LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF ideal for unattended or remote systems where manual reset is impractical.
How does the LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF achieve >500V input capability despite having only 12V-rated pins?
The LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF uses a floating architecture: its internal circuitry is powered from the OUT pin (clamped to 5.7V), not directly from VIN. The external N-MOSFET isolates high input voltage, allowing only regulated internal rails (VDD ≤12V, OUT ≤5.7V) to appear on IC pins - thus enabling >500V protection with standard components.
What is the minimum recommended value for the TIMER capacitor to achieve a 100ms overvoltage regulation window?
Using the formula CT = 3.2 • t (nF/ms), a 100ms regulation window requires CT = 320nF. For example, a 330nF capacitor yields ~103ms before TIMER reaches 2.8V and triggers fault. Values below 1nF result in sub-microsecond regulation - effectively disabling overvoltage protection.
Can the LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF be used with P-channel MOSFETs?
No - the LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF is explicitly designed to drive external N-channel MOSFETs in high-side configuration. Its GATE driver provides positive voltage relative to OUT (up to 12V above OUT) and includes a 200mA pull-down path. P-channel compatibility would require inverted logic and negative gate drive, which the LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF does not support.
What happens to the GATE pin during shutdown mode of the LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF?
During shutdown, the LTC4366CTS8-2#TRMPBF internally connects GATE to OUT via a switched resistor, forcing the external N-MOSFET into cutoff. This action eliminates leakage through the FET channel and reduces total system quiescent current to <20µA - excluding shunt regulator currents in VDD, OUT, and BASE.
