LTC4366-1/LTC4366-2 High Voltage Surge Stopper FEATURES n n n n n n n n DESCRIPTION Rugged Floating Topology Wide Operating Voltage Range: 9V to >500V Adjustable Output Clamp Voltage Controls N-Channel MOSFET Adjustable Protection Timer Internal 9 Second Cool-Down Timer Shutdown IQ < 14A Available in 8-Lead TSOT and 8-Lead 3mm x 2mm DFN Packages APPLICATIONS n n Industrial, Automotive and Avionic Surge Protection High Voltage DC Distribution The LTC(R)4366 surge stopper protects loads from high voltage transients. By controlling the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET, the LTC4366 regulates the output during an overvoltage transient. The load may remain operational while the overvoltage is dropped across the MOSFET. Placing a resistor in the return line isolates the LTC4366 and allows it to float up with the supply; therefore, the upper limit on the output voltage depends only on the availability of high valued resistors and MOSFET ratings. An adjustable overvoltage timer prevents MOSFET damage during the surge while an additional 9 second timer provides for MOSFET cool down. A shutdown pin reduces the quiescent current to less than 14A during shutdown. After a fault the LTC4366-1 latches off while the LTC4366-2 will auto-retry.

This pin is connected to the anode of an internal 6.2V Zener with the cathode tied to OUT. In cases where lower Q current is desired but a large VSS resistor is prohibited, connect an external PNP base to this pin (PNP collector is grounded, emitter is tied to VSS). Tie this pin to VSS if unused. Exposed Pad: The exposed pad may be left open or connected to VSS. FB: Overvoltage Regulation Amplifier Feedback Input. Connect this pin to an external resistive divider from OUT to ground. The overvoltage regulation amplifier controls the gate of the external N-channel MOSFET to regulate the FB pin voltage at 1.23V below OUT. The overvoltage amplifier will activate a 200mA pull-down on the GATE pin during a fast overvoltage event. GATE: Gate Drive for External N-Channel MOSFET. During start-up an internal 7.5A current source charges the gate of the external N-channel MOSFET from the VDD pin. Once the OUT voltage is above VSS by 4.75V, the charge pump will finish charging the GATE to 12V above OUT. During a fast overvoltage event, a 200mA pull-down current source between GATE and OUT is activated, followed by regulation of the GATE pin voltage by the overvoltage regulation amplifier. OUT: Charge Pump and Overvoltage Regulation Amplifier Supply Voltage. Supply input for floating circuitry powered from the MOSFET source. Once the OUT voltage is above 4.75V (UVLO2), the charge pump will turn on and draw power from this pin. When OUT exceeds 2.55V (UVLO1) it is used as a power supply and reference input for overvoltage regulation amplifier. This pin is clamped at 5.7V and requires a 0.22F or greater bypass to the VSS pin. SD: Shutdown Comparator Input. Tie to VDD if unused. Connect pin to a limited current pull down created by adding a resistor in series with an open-drain or open-collector pull-down transistor. Activating the external pull down overcomes the internal 1.6A pull-up current source and allows the SD pin to cross the shutdown threshold. This threshold is defined as 1.5V below VDD with a 280mV hysteresis. To prevent false triggers this pin must stay below the threshold for 700s to activate the shutdown state. The shutdown state lowers the total quiescent current (IVDD plus IOUT) below 20A. This quiescent current does not include shunt current in the VDD, OUT and BASE regulators. After a fault on the LTC4366, putting the part in shutdown will clear the fault and allow operation to resume. Clearing the fault during the 9 second cool-down period will shorten the time-out for the LTC4366-2 (autoretry) version. TIMER: Timer Input. Leave this pin open for a 1s overvoltage regulation period before fault off. Connect a capacitor between this pin and VSS to set a 278ms/F duration for overvoltage regulation before the switch is turned off. The LTC4366-2 version will restart after a nine second cool-down period. VDD: Start-Up Supply. Supply input for 7.5A start-up current source that charges the gate of the external N-channel MOSFET. Also provides supply for timer and logic circuits active when the external MOSFET is off. This pin is clamped at 12V above VSS. Do not bypass this pin with a capacitor. VSS: Device Return and Substrate. The capacitors on the TIMER and OUT pins should be returned to this pin. 436612fc 8 LTC4366-1/LTC4366-2 SIMPLIFIED DIAGRAM Start Run Regulate RIN 7.5A 1.23V 20A CP Z1 12V Z3 5.7V + - + - Z3 5.7V RFB1 RFB2 RSS RSS RSS 436612 SD FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM M1 VIN VOUT RG RIN CG VDD 7.5A OUT Z1 12V UVLO2 4.75V UVLO1 2.55V + - SHUTDOWN 1.5V COMPARATOR + - SD VCC VCC 1.23V + - LOGIC AND TIMER TIMER COMPARATOR 9A + - + - C1 + - FB RFB1 RFB2 OVERVOLTAGE AMPLIFIER 1.8A CT 20A VCC VDD 1.6A D1 OUT CHARGE PUMP LOGIC SUPPLY TIMER Z4 12V GATE OUT Z2 6.2V Z3 5.7V BASE VSS 2.8V 436612 FD RSS 436612fc 9 LTC4366-1/LTC4366-2 OPERATION The Simplified Diagram shows three states of operation: the start, run and regulate modes. Previous surge stopper parts are powered off the input supply, therefore the surge voltage is limited to the breakdown voltage of the input pins of the part. As demonstrated in run mode and regulate modes, the majority of this part is powered off the output, so the MOSFET isolates the surge from the power pins of the part. This allows surge voltages up to the breakdown of the external MOSFET. Once the OUT to VSS voltage exceeds the 2.55V UVLO1 threshold, the overvoltage amplifier is enabled. Next, the UVLO2 threshold of 4.75V is crossed and the charge pump turns on. The charge pump charges the GATE pin with 20A to its final value 12V above OUT (clamped by Z4). This allows the capacitor between OUT and VSS to charge until clamped by Z3 to 5.7V. In this run mode the MOSFET is configured as a low resistance pass transistor with little voltage drop and power dissipation in the MOSFET. In the start mode a 15A trickle current flows through RIN, half is used to charge the gate with the other half used as bias current. As the GATE pin charges, the external MOSFET brings up the OUT pin. This leads to the run mode where the output is high enough to become a supply voltage for the charge pump. The charge pump is then used to fully charge the gate 12V above the source. The powered up LTC4366 is now ready to protect the load against an overvoltage transient. The overvoltage regulation amplifier monitors the load voltage between OUT and ground by sensing the voltage on the FB pin with respect to the OUT pin (drop across RFB1). In an overvoltage condition the OUT rises until the amplifier drives the M1 gate to regulate and limit the output voltage. This is the regulate mode. With the output voltage equal to the input voltage, it is necessary to protect the load from an input supply overvoltage. In the regulate mode, the overvoltage regulation amplifier is referenced to the output through a 1.23V reference. If the voltage drop across the upper feedback resistor, RFB1, exceeds 1.23V the regulation amplifier pulls the gate down to regulate the RFB1 voltage back to 1.23V. Therefore, the output voltage is clamped by setting the proper ratio between RFB1 and RFB2. For example, if the output voltage is regulated at 100V then the voltage drop across the RFB2 is 98.77V. If the Zener Z3 is 5.7V then the voltage drop across RSS is 94.3V. Therefore, when the output is at a high voltage, the majority of the voltage is dropped across the two resistors RFB2 and RSS. This demonstrates how the LTC4366 floats up with the supply. The adjustable 3-terminal regulators, such as the LT(R)1085 and LM117, are also based on this idea. During regulation the excess voltage is dropped across the MOSFET. To prevent overheating the MOSFET, the LTC4366 limits the overvoltage regulation time using the TIMER pin. The TIMER pin is charged with 9A until the pin exceeds 2.8V. At that point an overvoltage fault is set, the MOSFET is turned off, and the part enters a cool-down period of 9 seconds. The logic and timer block are active during cool down while the GATE pin is pulled to OUT. The latched-off version, LTC4366-1, will remain in fault until the SD pin is toggled low and then high. Once the fault is cleared, the GATE is permitted to turn the MOSFET on again. The auto-retry version, LTC4366-2, waits 9 seconds then clears the fault and restarts. The Functional Diagram shows the actual circuits. An external RIN resistor on the VDD pin powers up the 12V shunt regulator which then powers up logic supply, VCC. After verifying that the shutdown input is not active, the GATE pin is charged with a 7.5A current from VDD. This is the start mode. 436612fc 10 LTC4366-1/LTC4366-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The typical LTC4366 application is a protected system that distributes power to loads safe from overvoltage transients. External component selection is discussed in the following sections. Dual Shunt Regulators The LTC4366 uses two shunt regulators coupled with the external voltage dropping resistors, RSS and RIN, to generate internal supply rails at the VDD and OUT pins. These shunt-regulated rails allow overvoltage protection from unlimited high voltage transients irrespective of the voltage rating of the LTC4366's internal circuitry. At the beginning of start-up, during shutdown, or after an overvoltage fault, the GATE pin is clamped to the OUT pin thereby shutting off the MOSFET. This allows the VSS and OUT pins to be pulled to ground by output load and RSS. Under this condition the VDD pin is clamped with a 12V shunt regulator to VSS. The full supply voltage minus 12V is then impressed on the RIN resistor which sets the shunt current. The shunt current can be as high as 10mA which is several orders of magnitude higher than the typical 9A VDD pin quiescent current. In normal operation the OUT voltage is equal to the input supply. With C1 fully charged IC1 is zero at this point. Under this condition the voltage between the OUT and VSS pins are clamped with a 5.7V shunt regulator. The input supply M1 FQA62N25C VIN 28V (18V DC TO 250V DC) RIN 324k R1 470k SD R2 100k VDD SD Q1 MMBT3904 C1 0.47F GATE LTC4366-2 TIMER VSS Turn-On Sequence The voltage between the VDD and VSS pins is shunt regulated to 12V after ramping up the input supply. Next, the internally generated supply, VCC, produces a 30s poweron-reset pulse which clears the fault latch and initializes internal latches. Next, the shutdown comparator determines if the SD pin is externally pulled low, thereby requesting a low bias current shutdown state. Otherwise the external MOSFET, M1, is allowed to turn on. Turning on the 7.5A GATE pull-up current source from the VDD pin begins what can be described as a "bootstrapped" method for powering up the MOSFET gate. Once the GATE reaches the VDD pin voltage (minus a Schottky diode), the 7.5A source loses voltage headroom and stops charging the GATE (middle of waveforms in Figure 2.). The bootstrap method relies on charging C1 to a sufficient voltage after GATE stops increasing. The voltage on C1 is then used as a supply for a charge pump that charges the gate to its final value 12V above OUT. C1 will discharge if the charge pump current exceeds the C1 charging current. If the voltage drops below 4.35V, the charge pump will pause allowing C1 to recharge. VOUT 1.5A (43V CLAMP) CG 10nF RG 10 voltage minus 5.7V is impressed on RSS. The RSS current is divided into three areas: the 5.7V shunt current, bias current between OUT and VSS and finally the RIN current. The 5.7V shunt current can be as high as 10mA which greatly exceeds the typical OUT (160A) bias current.

Turn-On Waveforms 436612fc 11 LTC4366-1/LTC4366-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Starting up with a supply voltage insufficient to charge C1 with large load current may result in overheating the MOSFET and subsequent damage. While the gate and output are ramping the drop across the MOSFET is the input supply minus the output. If the supply is lower than necessary to charge C1, then the output fails to ramp higher than the supply minus the threshold of the MOSFET. This 3V to 5V MOSFET drop with high load current will result in power dissipation without any protection or timeout limit. Overvoltage Fault The LTC4366 prevents an overvoltage on the input supply from reaching the load. Normally, the pass transistor is fully on, powering the load with very little voltage drop. As the input voltage increases the OUT voltage increases until it reaches the regulation point (VREG). From that point any further voltage increase is dropped across the MOSFET. Note the MOSFET is still on so the LTC4366 allows uninterrupted operation during a short overvoltage event. The VREG point is configured with the two FB resistors, RFB1 and RFB2. The regulation amplifier compares the FB pin to a threshold 1.23V below the OUT pin. During regulation the drop across RFB1 is 1.23V, while the remainder of the VREG voltage is dropped across RFB2. When the output is at the regulation point a timer is started to prevent excessive power dissipation in the MOSFET. Normally the TIMER pin is held low with a 1.8A pulldown current. During regulation the TIMER pin charges with 9A. If the regulation point is held long enough for the TIMER pin to reach 2.8V then an overvoltage fault is latched. The equation for setting the timer capacitor is: CT = 3.5 * t [nF / ms] Depending on which version, the part will cool down and self start (LTC4366-2), or remain latched off until the SD pin activates a shutdown followed by a start-up command (LTC4366-1). The cool-down time is typically nine seconds which provides a very low pulsed power duty cycle. Starting up with an input supply overvoltage and full load current does increase the power dissipation in the MOSFET well beyond the case for an overvoltage surge. During the gate and output ramp up, the partial supply voltage (at full current) is dropped across the MOSFET. After start-up the normal overvoltage surge (with timeout) occurs before the shutting off the MOSFET. The Design Example section only considers the normal overvoltage surge for safe operating area (SOA) calculations for the MOSFET. Start-up into overvoltage will require additional SOA considerations. Shutdown The LTC4366 has a low current (<20A) shutdown state that turns off the pass FET by tying the GATE and OUT pins together with a switched resistor. In the normal operating condition, the SD pin is pulled up to the VDD pin voltage with a 1.6A current source. Tie the SD pin to VDD when the shutdown state is not used. Bringing the SD pin more than 1.5V below VDD pin voltage for greater than the 700s filter time activates the shutdown state. This filter time prevents unwanted activation of shutdown during transients. The SD pin is diode clamped 0.7V below VSS which requires current limiting (maximum 10mA) on the pull-down device. One way to limit the current is to connect an external 470k resistor in series with the open-collector pull-down device. Activating the external pull-down overcomes the internal 1.6A pull-up current source and allows the SD pin to cross the shutdown threshold. 436612fc 12 LTC4366-1/LTC4366-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Following an overvoltage fault, putting the part in shutdown will clear the fault, allowing operation to resume once the LTC4366 leaves shutdown. Output Short A sudden short on the output can result in excessive current into the LTC4366 GATE pin supplied from the gate capacitor, CG. The GATE pin is internally clamped to OUT with a 10V to 12V clamp. If the OUT pin is pulled low while the GATE pin is held up with CG, then the clamp will be damaged trying to discharge CG when clamp voltage is exceeded. One solution is to add a 1k RS resistor in series with CG with a bypass diode as shown in Figure 3. The diode allows the capacitor to function as a bypass for energy coming from the MOSFET drain to gate capacitor during an supply overvoltage. The full supply voltage minus 12V can appear across RIN during the overvoltage cool-down period. Normally the value for RIN is several times larger than RSS which lowers the power and size requirements for this resistor. External PNP In some cases the power resistor for RSS may be physically large. A large value RSS (with lower power and size) may be used in conjunction with a PNP as shown in Figure 4. In addition to the 0.8A sourced from the BASE pin, the base current from the PNP must flow through RSS which will limit the maximum RSS value. In some cases the minimum PNP Beta is as low as 35. The base current becomes 10A when the VSS current is 350A. One can see this allows a 35 (Beta) times larger RSS than the application without the PNP.

Output Short Protection Resistor Power Ratings The proper rating for the RSS resistor in Figure 1 must be considered. During an overvoltage event the OUT pin is at regulation voltage (VREG), so the voltage across RSS is VREG minus 5.7V. A small minimum supply voltage reduces the value of RSS. Therefore, large differences between minimum supply voltage and the regulation voltage may require a large power resistor for RSS. Figure 4. External PNP Option Minimum Supply Start-Up When designing for the minimum supply condition, it is important that RSS and RIN are chosen to provide enough current to sufficiently charge C1 to 4.75V. The parameters that determine the minimum supply voltage include: C1 voltage, MOSFET threshold voltage, a series Schottky diode voltage drop, resistance of RSS and RIN, current in 436612fc 13 LTC4366-1/LTC4366-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION the VDD pin, and finally the current from the VSS pin (see Figure 5.). VIN(MIN) = (IVDD * RIN) + VD + VTH + VC1 + (IVSS * RSS) Using the Electrical Characteristics table for above parameters: The last VIN(MIN) equation sets the maximum value for RSS. After choosing RSS the maximum value for RIN (for that particular RSS) is calculated from the first VIN(MIN) equation: RSS(MAX) = VIN(MIN) - 5.7V 160A RIN(MAX) = VIN(MIN) - 4.75V - 0.58V - VTH - ( 45A * RSS ) 9A VC1 = VUVLO2 = 4.75V (UVLO2 threshold) IVDD = IVDD(STHI) = 9A (IVDD start-up, gate high) IVSS = IVSS(AMP) = 45A (IVSS w/regulation amp) VD = 0.58V VIN(MIN) = (9A * RIN) + 0.58V + VTH + 4.75V + (45A * RSS) When the MOSFET gate is fully enhanced, the OUT pin voltage is equal to the supply voltage. This places another constraint on the minimum supply voltage because the charge pump increases the VSS current to 160A. The C1 voltage is assumed to be clamped at 5.7V. These values are specified as VZ(OUT) and IVSS(CP) (charge pump on) in the table of Electrical Characteristics: VIN(MIN) = VZ(OUT) + (IVSS(CP) * RSS) or VIN(MIN) = 5.7V + (160A * RSS) VIN IRIN RIN 7.5A VDD D1 GATE M1 CG VOUT OUT RLOAD Z1 12V LOGIC TIMER ISHUNT1 9A Z3 5.7V CIRCUITS ISHUNT2 C1 + - VC1 IC1 IBIAS VSS RSS IRSS 436612 F05 Figure 5. Simplified Block Diagram These two equations maximize the values of RSS and RIN (reducing power dissipation) while still providing the necessary VC1 voltage to turn the charge pump on. Increasing the supply voltage beyond the minimum supply voltage increases the current and power in RSS while reducing the time required to charge C1. Conditions that may require an even smaller RSS(MAX) will be discussed in the Maximum Supply Start-Up section. Maximum Supply Start-Up The maximum overvoltage supply may also exist during start-up. The overvoltage protection circuitry has to wake up before high voltage is passed to the load. Dynamically the GATE is ramping up while C1 is charging. Capacitor C1 must charge to the 2.55V UVLO1 threshold to turn on the regulation amplifier and reference before the OUT pin voltage exceeds the overvoltage regulation point, VREG. These conditions may reduce the value of RSS below the maximum value dictated by the minimum supply start-up discussed above. When current in RSS exceeds the current sourced from the VSS pin (essentially IRIN), the capacitor C1 begins to charge. The voltage at the VSS pin when IRIN = IRSS is now labeled VSS(MATCH). The VSS pin voltage is the center of a voltage divider between RIN and RSS after the Zener clamp voltage from VDD to VSS is subtracted from the supply. VSS(MATCH) = RSS * VIN(MAX) - VZ(VDD) RSS + RIN ( ) As VIN increases the VSS(MATCH) voltage increases. If the match voltage exceeds the overvoltage regulation point (VREG), then load is unprotected. This is true because C1 will still need to charge to 2.55V while VSS already 436612fc 14 LTC4366-1/LTC4366-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION has exceeded VREG. Since the OUT pin voltage is at least 2.55V larger than VSS it exceeds the specified maximum. Choosing the match point (with supply at the maximum) sufficiently below VREG (by at least 2.55V), allows C1 to charge up in time to protect the load from overvoltage. In reality having VSS pin voltage 7V below VREG provides required margin for charging C1. VSS(MATCH)(MAX) = VREG - 7V Increasing RSS increases the match point, so determining the maximum RSS value while still protecting from overvoltage is useful. Using IRIN = IRSS: RSS = RIN * VRSS VRIN GATE Capacitor, CG The gate capacitor is used for three functions. First, CG absorbs charge from the gate-to-drain capacitance of the MOSFET during overvoltage transients. Second, the capacitor also acts as a compensation element for the overvoltage regulation amplifier. The minimum value for CG to guarantee stability is 2nF. Finally, CG sets the slew rate of the GATE and OUT pins. The voltage at the GATE pin rises at a slope equal to 20A/CG. This slope determines the charging current into the load capacitor. IINRUSH = CLOAD *IG CG The voltage rating for CG must be greater than the regulation voltage (VREG). Using: VRSS = VSS(MATCH)(MAX) = VREG - 7V MOSFET Selection VRIN = VIN - VZ(VDD) - VRSS The LTC4366 drives an N-channel MOSFET to conduct the load current. The important features of the MOSFET are on-resistance, RDS(ON), the maximum drain-source voltage, V(BR)DSS, the threshold voltage, and the SOA. Substituting: R SS(MAX) = R SS(MAX) = RIN * ( VREG - 7V ) VIN(MAX) - 12V - ( VREG - 7V ) RIN * ( VREG - 7V ) VIN(MAX) - 5V - VREG If we guarantee that RSS < RSS(MAX) then the following is true: VSS(MATCH) < VSS(MATCH)(MAX) C1 bypasses the charge pump, and requires at least a 0.22F. The size of C1 needs limits also. The gate capacitor (CG) dictates the maximum output capacitor C1(MAX) that will charge to the 2.55V UVLO1 threshold (VUVLO1) before the OUT voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold. C1(MAX ) = - C G * (R SS + RIN ) ( VREG - VSS(MATCH ) ) 2 * VUVLO1 IG * R SS * RIN * In 1- VREG - VSS(MATCH ) The maximum allowable drain-source voltage must be higher than the supply voltage. If the output is shorted to ground or during an overvoltage event, the full supply voltage will appear across the MOSFET. The threshold voltage of the MOSFET is used in the minimum supply start-up calculation. For applications with supplies less than 12V, a logic-level MOSFET is required. Above 12V a standard threshold N-channel MOSFET is sufficient. The SOA of the MOSFET must encompass all fault conditions. In normal operation the pass transistor is fully on, dissipating very little power. But during overvoltage faults, the GATE pin is servoed to regulate the output voltage through the MOSFET. Large current and high voltage drop across the MOSFET can coexist in these cases. The SOA curves of the MOSFET must be considered carefully along with the selection of the fault timer capacitor. In most cases: C1(MAX) = 10 * CG to 100 * CG 436612fc 15 LTC4366-1/LTC4366-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Layout Considerations DESIGN EXAMPLE Due to the high impedances on the SD, VDD, and GATE pins, these pins are susceptible to leakages to ground. For example, a leakage to ground on SD will activate the shutdown state if greater than 1.6A. Providing adequate spacing away from grounded traces and adding conformal coating on exposed pins lowers the risk that leakage current will interrupt system operation. Overview The design process starts with minimum input voltage start-up equations to calculate values for RSS and RIN. These values need further refinement to meet two other conditions: the maximum input voltage start-up conditions and proper current for the charging of C1. The the remaining element values are calculated based on the input parameters. It is important to put the bypass capacitor, C1, as close as possible to the OUT and VSS pins. Place the 10 resistor as close as possible to the MOSFET gate pin. This will limit the parasitic trace capacitance that leads to MOSFET self-oscillation Following are the input parameters for this example: VSUPPLY(MIN) = 18V, VREG = 43V, VIN(MAX) = 250V, ILOAD = 1.5A at start-up, ILOAD = 3A after start-up, VTH = 5V The FB pin is sensitive to parasitic capacitance when the regulation loop is closed. One result from this capacitive loading is output oscillations during overvoltage regulation. It is suggested that the resistors RFB1 and RFB2 be placed close to the pin and that the FB trace itself be minimized in size. Important Electrical Characteristics table parameters used in this example are summarized in Table 1. Step 1: Maximum RSS In this design example (Figure 6.) the component sizing first considers the start-up phase after the charge pump is active. The goal is to maximize the resistance of RSS which still allows operation when the input voltage is at the minimum value.

The C1 voltage is clamped at 5.7V (worst-case 6.0V): RSS(MAX) = VIN(MIN) - VZ(OUT) IVSS(CP) RSS(MAX) = 18V - 6V = 52.3k 230A Step 2: Determine RIN The value for resistor RIN is calculated using the calculated RSS value. RIN is chosen to provide enough headroom to sufficiently charge C1 to 4.9V the maximum undervoltage lockout 2 threshold (VUVLO2) which starts the charge pump. The parameters that determine RIN include: minimum supply voltage, the final C1 voltage, MOSFET threshold voltage, RSS, 72A maximum VSS pin current (regulation amplifier on, IVSS(AMP)), and finally the 13A maximum start-up current in the VDD pin (IVDD(STHI)): RIN(MAX) = RIN(MAX) = VIN(MIN) - VUVLO2 - VD - VTH - (ISS(AMP) * R SS ) IVDD(STHI) 18V - 4.9V - 0.58V - 5V - ( 72A * 52.3k ) RIN(MAX) = 287k 13A Step 3: Find RSS(MAX) In some cases this value for RSS is too large to charge C1 and power the overvoltage amplifier before the maximum input voltage passes to the output. The voltage at the VSS pin when IRIN = IRSS is called the match point (VSS(MATCH)). Choosing the match point (with supply at the maximum) sufficiently below VREG (by at least 7V), allows C1 to charge up in time to protect the load from overvoltage: RSS(MAX) = RIN * ( VREG - 7V ) VIN(MAX) - 5V - VREG RSS(MAX) = 287k * ( 43V - 7V ) = 51.1k 250V - 5V - 43V In this case the RSS value of 52.3k calculated in Step 1 is too large. Step 4: Iterate Smaller RSS Using 51.1k (RSS(MAX)) as the next guess for RSS, we can now calculate RIN and RSS(MAX): RIN = 18V - 4.9V - 0.58V - 5V - (72A * 51.1k) 13A RIN = 294k RSS(MAX) 294k * ( 43V - 7V ) = 52.3k 250V - 5V - 43V In this case the RSS value of 51.1k is less than RSS(MAX) and the solution is acceptable. 436612fc 17 LTC4366-1/LTC4366-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Step 5: Determine CG, C1(MAX), Check RSS The gate capacitor (CG) determines the gate slew rate and therefore the slew rate of the OUT pin since the output voltage follows the GATE pin. The voltage at the GATE pin rises with a slope equal to 7.5A/CG at startup and 20A/CG when the charge pump is on. Limiting this slope will limit the inrush current charging the load capacitance where: IINRUSH = CLOAD *IG CG In this example we choose CG to be 10nF which limits the inrush current to be 660mA for a 330F CLOAD. C1 is used as a bypass capacitor for the circuitry between the OUT and VSS pins. C1 also stabilizes the shunt regulator that clamps the voltage between these pins where the minimum value for regulator stability is 0.22F. An even greater 0.47F value is desired for C1 to protect the OUT to VSS circuitry from transients on the OUT pin. The startup into an overvoltage creates an upper boundary on the value of C1. The value of CG, RSS and RVIN determines a maximum C1 that will reach UVLO1 and power the regulation amplifier before the OUT pin voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold. If our desired value for C1 (0.47F) exceeds the maximum allowed C1 then a smaller RSS must be used to iterate a new solution for C1(MAX). We start with calculating VSS(MATCH): VSS(MATCH) = RSS * ( VIN - VZ(VDD) ) RSS +R VIN If we use the worst-case 1% maximum value for RSS (51.6k) and minimum value for RVIN (291k): VSS(MATCH) = 35.8V C1(MAX) = -CG * (R SS + RIN ) ( VREG - VSS(MATCH) ) 2 * VUVLO1 IG * R SS * RIN * In 1- VREG - VSS(MATCH) Use the worst-case maximum gate current of 11A instead of the typical 7.5A and the worst-case minimum UVLO1 threshold, 2.75V: C1(MAX ) = -10nF * (51.6k + 291k ) ( 43V - 35.8V ) 2 * 2.75V 11A * 51.6k * 291k *In1- 43V - 35.8V or C1(MAX) = 0.1F This limit on C1 does not meet the shunt regulator stability requirements (C1 > 0.22F). If we desire a larger value of C1 then a lower size of RSS is required. A lower value for RSS is 48.7k, which calls out an RIN value of 309k and a max C1 value of 0.27F. The next lower value of 46.4k with RVIN of 324k, results in the worst-case maximum C1 value of 0.49F. A larger C1 increases circuit immunity to transients in exchange for slightly higher current. Therefore, a selection of components that allow a 0.47F C1 is recommended. The lowered RSS value of 46.4k now considers the tolerances of all the components that set the C1 ramp rate to guarantee it charges to the 2.55V UVLO1 threshold before the OUT voltage exceeds the overvoltage threshold. Step 6: Determine RFB1, RFB2 The feedback resistors, RFB1 and RFB2, are chosen to regulate the overvoltage at 43V. One way to quickly choose these resistors is to assign 100A or 1.2V across a 12.4k RFB1. RFB2 would need to drop the remainder of the regulated voltage. Dividing this remainder by 100A yields the value for RFB2. In this example RFB2 drops 41.8V. When divided by 100A it results in a 422k value. Step 7: Determine CT, R1 During an overvoltage the power dissipated in the MOSFET is dependent on the load current and the difference between the supply and regulated voltages. It is necessary to keep the device power in a safe range. In the power MOSFET data sheets there is a maximum safe operating curve displaying current versus drain to source voltage for a fixed pulsed time. Other pulsed time data from DC to 10s are plotted on the one graph. The different lines of operation generally follow a constant power squared 436612fc 18 LTC4366-1/LTC4366-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION times time or P2t. Knowing the power we then adjust the time using the timer capacitor to limit the P2t during overvoltage. In this example the MOSFET data sheet has a 6400W2s P2t for a 10ms single pulse. In order to limit the SD pin current (10mA max) a collector resistor, R1, in series with Q2 is required. The maximum value for this resistor is around 5M. This requirement occurs when the pull-down is required to sink 1.6A from SD and VDD is clamped at 12V. High valued resistors are susceptible to leakage currents so we chose a 470k resistor for R1. Resistor R2 provides ESD protection for Q2's base. In this application 250V minus 43V is applied across the MOSFET at 3A. If the power is applied for less than 16.5ms then MOSFET P2t limit is not exceeded: The gate resistor RG limits the parasitic trace capacitance on Q1's gate node that could lead to parasitic MOSFET self-oscillation. The recommended value for RG is 10. P = (250V - 43V) * 3A = 621W P2t = (621W)2 * 16.5ms = 6363W2s Prior to the moment when the output is regulated at 43V, the output is ramping from 28V to 43V. This ramp time is based on the 20A gate current charging the 10nF capacitor. Using the equation for ramp time: t = High Voltage Application In Figure 7 the circuit accepts 110V AC (rectified to 160V) and protects the load from accidental connection to 220V AC by limiting the output to less than 200V. The circuit has a 100V to 800V VIN operating range where the FET breakdown voltage limits the maximum input voltage. The C1 is set to 0.47F to provide a bypass for the charge pump that is large enough to provide good noise immunity from outside voltage transients. The timer capacitor is sized to give a 1ms overvoltage regulation time that keeps the P2t below the 640W2s specified for this MOSFET. CG * V 10nF *15V = = 7.5ms IG 20A To be safe we set the overvoltage time to 10ms. We set the regulation time to be 2.5ms (the remainder of the 10ms overvoltage time minus the ramp time). In this example it is assumed the 250V overvoltage is a constant DC voltage for 10ms. This duration exceeds Mil-Std-1275 which specifies a 70s surge to 250V that decays in 1.6ms.

Rectified 110V AC Supply Protected from 220V AC 436612fc 19 LTC4366-1/LTC4366-2 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 28V Vehicle Application The circuit in Figure 8 adds reverse voltage protection to the standard 28V application shown in Figure 6. There are three modes to this circuit: pass FET On when the input is 18V to 41V, clamping the output to 43V when more than 43V appears at the input and finally reverse voltage protection when up to -250V DC is present at the input. The reverse voltage protection consists of the circuitry inside the dotted box in Figure 8. When a positive voltage is first applied to the input, D3 and the forward biased base-collector junction of Q2 allow the gate of M2 to follow the input voltage minus a two diode drop. During this condition the body diode of M2 is used to transmit power to the LTC4366. Once the LTC4366 is powered up it fully enhances the gate of M1 and M2 (via D1). The M1 and M2 pass FETs then provide a low impedance path to the load. In an overvoltage condition, D1 blocks excessive positive voltage from the input supply passing to the GATE pin of the LTC4366. D4 eliminates current flow through R6 when the input is positive while D3 prevents emitter base breakdown of Q2 when the input is powering up. VIN 18V TO 41V (250V DC) REVERSE VOLTAGE PROTECTION During negative input voltages Q2 turns on when current from R6 (via D4) develops a forward diode drop on R5. Q2 then holds the gate of M2 at the input voltage which turns M2 off. This blocks negative input voltages from reaching M1 and the load. D2 prevents damage to the LTC4366's GATE pin by clamping it at ground when the M2's gate is negative. Low Voltage Application The circuit on the last page (Surge Protected Automotive Supply) starts up with minimum input voltage of 9V. In order to successfully start up at 9V and clamp the output voltage at 18V for input voltages up to 100V the value of RSS has to be small (1.91k). The FET used in this case has a 3V threshold to ease the start-up requirements. The timer capacitor is sized to give a 2.5ms overvoltage regulation time that keeps the P2t below the 420W2s specified for this MOSFET.
