FeAtures Description
Surge Stopper with
Fault Latchoff
The LT
®
4356-3 surge stopper protects loads from high
voltage transients. It regulates the output during an
overvoltage event, such as load dump in automobiles,
by controlling the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET.
The output is limited to a safe value thereby allowing the
loads to continue functioning. The LT4356-3 also monitors
the voltage drop between the VCC and SNS pins to protect
against overcurrent faults. An internal amplifier limits
the current sense voltage to 50mV. In either fault condi-
tion, a timer is started inversely proportional to MOSFET
stress. If the timer expires, the F LT pin pulls low to warn
of an impending power down. If the condition persists,
the MOSFET is turned off, until the SHDN pin pulls low
momentarily.
The auxiliary amplifier may be used as a voltage detection
comparator or as a linear regulator controller driving an
external PNP pass transistor.
Back-to-back FETs can be used in lieu of a Schottky diode
for reverse input protection, reducing voltage drop and
power loss. The SHDN input turns off the part, including
the auxiliary amplifier, and reduces the quiescent current
to less than 7µA.

pin Functions
AOUT (DFN and SO Packages Only): Amplifier Output.
Open collector output of the auxiliary amplifier. It is capable
of sinking up to 2mA from 80V. The negative input of the
amplifier is internally connected to a 1.25V reference.
EN: Open-Collector Enable Output. The EN pin goes high
impedance when the voltage at the OUT pin is above (VCC
– 0.7V), indicating the external MOSFET is fully on. The
state of the pin is latched until the OUT pin voltage resets
at below 0.5V and goes back up above 2V. The internal
NPN is capable of sinking up to 3mA of current from 80V
to drive an LED or opto-coupler.
Exposed Pad: Exposed pad may be left open or connected
to device ground (GND).
FB: Voltage Regulator Feedback Input. Connect this pin
to the center tap of the output resistive divider connected
between the OUT pin and ground. During an overvoltage
condition, the GATE pin is servoed to maintain a 1.25V
threshold at the FB pin. This pin is clamped internally to
7V. Tie to GND to disable the OV clamp.
FLT: Open-Collector Fault Output. This pin pulls low
after the voltage at the TMR pin has reached the fault
threshold of 1.25V. It indicates the pass transistor is
about to turn off because either the supply voltage has
stayed at an elevated level for an extended period of
time (voltage fault) or the device is in an overcurrent
condition (current fault). The internal NPN is capable of
sinking up to 3mA of current from 80V to drive an LED or
opto-coupler.
GATE: N-Channel MOSFET Gate Drive Output. The GATE
pin is pulled up by an internal charge pump current source
and clamped to 14V above the OUT pin. Both voltage and
current amplifiers control the GATE pin to regulate the
output voltage and limit the current through the MOSFET.
GND: Device Ground.
IN+ (DFN and SO Packages Only): Positive Input of the
Auxiliary Amplifier. This amplifier can be used as a level
detection comparator with external hysteresis or linear
regulator controlling an external PNP transistor. This pin
is clamped internally to 7V. Connect to ground if unused.
OUT: Output Voltage Sense Input. This pin senses the
voltage at the source of the N-channel MOSFET and sets
the fault timer current. When the OUT pin voltage reaches
0.7V away from VCC, the EN pin goes high impedance.
SHDN: Shutdown Control Input. The LT4356-3 can be shut
down to a low current mode by pulling the SHDN pin below
the shutdown threshold of 0.4V. All functions, including
the spare amplifier, are turned off. Pull this pin above 1.7V
or disconnect it and allow the internal current source to
turn the part back on. After GATE pin pulls low due to fault
time out, the part can be restarted by pulling the SHDN
pin low for at least 100µs and pulled high with a slew rate
faster than 10V/ms. The leakage current to ground at the
pin should be limited to no more than 1µA if no pull up
device is used to turn the part on. The SHDN pin can be
pulled up to 100V or below GND by 60V without damage.
SNS: Current Sense Input. Connect this pin to the output of
the current sense resistor. The current limit circuit controls
the GATE pin to limit the sense voltage between VCC and
SNS pins to 50mV. At the same time the sense amplifier
also starts a current source to charge up the TMR pin.
This pin can be pulled below GND by up to 60V, though
the voltage difference with the VCC pin must be limited to
less than 30V. Connect to VCC if unused.
TMR: Fault Timer Input. Connect a capacitor between this
pin and ground to set the times for early warning and fault
periods. The current charging up this pin during fault
conditions depends on the voltage difference between the
VCC and OUT pins. When VTMR reaches 1.25V, the F LT pin
pulls low to indicate the detection of a fault condition. If
the condition persists, the pass transistor turns off when
VTMR reaches the threshold of 1.35V. The GATE pin remains
low even after the fault condition has disappeared and the
voltage at the TMR pin has reached 0.5V. A minimum of
10nF capacitor is needed to compensate the loop. A 10V
rated X7R capacitor is recommended for CTMR.
VCC: Positive Supply Voltage Input. The positive supply
input ranges from 4V to 80V for normal operation. It
can also be pulled below ground potential by up to 60V
during a reverse battery condition, without damaging the
part. The supply current is reduced to 7µA with all the
functional blocks off.

Some power systems must cope with high voltage surges
of short duration such as those in automobiles. Load
circuitry must be protected from these transients, yet
high availability systems must continue operating during
these events.
The LT4356-3 is an overvoltage protection regulator that
drives an external N-channel MOSFET as the pass transis-
tor. It operates from a wide supply voltage range of 4V to
80V. It can also be pulled below ground potential by up
to 60V without damage. The low power supply require-
ment of 4V allows it to operate even during cold cranking
conditions in automotive applications. The internal charge
pump turns on the N-channel MOSFET to supply current
to the loads with very little power loss. T
wo MOSFETs can
be connected back to back to replace an inline Schottky
diode for reverse input protection. This improves the ef-
ficiency and increases the available supply voltage level
to the load circuitry during cold crank.
Normally, the pass transistor is fully on, powering the
loads with very little voltage drop. When the supply volt-
age surges too high, the voltage amplifier (VA) controls
the gate of the MOSFET and regulates the voltage at the
source pin to a level that is set by the external resistive
divider from the OUT pin to ground and the internal 1.25V
reference. A current source starts charging up the capaci-
tor connected at the TMR pin to ground. If the voltage at
the TMR pin, VTMR, reaches 1.25V, the F LT pin pulls low
to indicate impending turn-off due to the overvoltage
condition. The pass transistor stays on until the TMR
pin reaches 1.35V, at which point the GATE pin pulls low
turning off the MOSFET.
The potential at the TMR pin starts decreasing as soon
as the overvoltage condition disappears, but the GATE
pin remains low even when the voltage at the TMR pin
reaches 0.5V. Pulling the SHDN pin low momentarily will
turn the GATE pin back on.
The fault timer allows the load to continue functioning
during short transient events while protecting the MOSFET
from being damaged by a long period of supply overvolt-
age, such as a load dump in automobiles. The timer period
varies with the voltage across the MOSFET. A higher voltage
corresponds to a shorter fault timer period, ensuring the
MOSFET operates within its safe operating area (SOA).
The LT4356-3 senses an overcurrent condition by monitor-
ing the voltage across an optional sense resistor placed
between the VCC and SNS pins. An active current limit
circuit (IA) controls the GATE pin to limit the sense volt-
age to 50mV. A current is also generated to start charging
up the TMR pin. This current is about 5 times the current
generated during an overvoltage event. The FLT pin pulls
low when the voltage at the TMR pin reaches 1.25V and
the MOSFET is turned off when it reaches 1.35V.
An auxiliary amplifier is provided with the negative input
connected to an internal 1.25V reference. The output pull
down device is capable of sinking up to 2mA of current
allowing it to drive an LED or opto coupler. This amplifier
can be configured as a linear regulator controller driving
an external PNP transistor or a comparator function to
monitor voltages.
The SHDN pin turns off the pass transistor and reduces
the supply current to less than 7µA.

The LT4356-3 can limit the voltage and current to the load
circuitry during supply transients or overcurrent events.
The total fault timer period should be set to ride through
short overvoltage transients while not causing damage
to the pass transistor. The selection of this N-channel
MOSFET pass transistor is critical for this application.
It must stay on and provide a low impedance path from
the input supply to the load during normal operation and
then dissipate power during overvoltage or overcurrent
conditions.
The following sections describe the overcurrent and the
overvoltage faults, and the selection of the timer capacitor
value based on the required warning time. The selection
of the N-channel MOSFET pass transistor is discussed
next. Auxiliary amplifier, reverse input, and the shutdown
functions are covered after the MOSFET selection. External
component selection is discussed in detail in the Design
Example section.
Overvoltage Fault
The LT4356-3 limits the voltage at the OUT pin during an
overvoltage situation. An internal voltage amplifier regu-
lates the GATE pin voltage to maintain a 1.25V threshold at
the FB pin. During this period of time, the power MOSFET
is still on and continues to supply current to the load. This
allows uninterrupted operation during short overvoltage
transient events.
When the voltage regulation loop is engaged for longer
than the time-out period, set by the timer capacitor con-
nected from the TMR pin to ground, an overvoltage fault
is detected. The GATE pin is pulled down to the OUT pin by
a 150mA current. This prevents the power MOSFET from
being damaged during a long period of overvoltage, such
as during load dump in automobiles. Pulling the SHDN
pin low for at least 100µs and pulled high with a slew rate
faster than 10V/ms will allow the GATE pin to pull back up.
Overcurrent Fault
The LT4356-3 features an adjustable current limit that
protects against short circuits or excessive load current.
During an overcurrent event, the GATE pin is regulated to
limit the current sense voltage across the VCC and SNS
pins to 50mV.
An overcurrent fault occurs when the current limit circuitry
has been engaged for longer than the time-out delay set
by the timer capacitor. The GATE pin is then immediately
pulled low by a 10mA current to GND turning off the
MOSFET. The GATE pin stays low until the SHDN pin is
pulled low for at least 100µs and pulled high with a slew
rate faster than 10V/ms.
Fault Timer
The LT4356-3 includes an adjustable fault timer pin. Con-
necting a capacitor from the TMR pin to ground sets the
delay timer period before the MOSFET is turned off. The
same capacitor also sets the cool down period before the
MOSFET is allowed to turn back on after the fault condition
has disappeared.
Once a fault condition, either overvoltage or overcurrent,
is detected, a current source charges up the TMR pin. The
current level varies depending on the voltage drop across
the drain and source terminals of the power MOSFET(VDS),
which is typically from the VCC pin to the OUT pin. This
scheme takes better advantage of the available Safe Oper-
ating Area (SOA) of the MOSFET than would a fixed timer
current. The timer function operates down to VCC = 5V
across the whole temperature range.

Fault Timer Current
The timer current starts at around 2µA with 0.5V or less
of VDS, increasing linearly to 50µA with 75V of VDS dur-
ing an overvoltage fault (Figure 1). During an overcurrent
fault, it starts at 4µA with 0.5V or less of VDS but increases
to 260µA with 80V across the MOSFET (Figure 2). This
arrangement allows the pass transistor to turn off faster
during an overcurrent event, since more power is dissipated
during this condition. Refer to the Typical Performance
Characteristics section for the timer current at different
VDS in both overvoltage and overcurrent events.
When the voltage at the TMR pin, VTMR, reaches the 1.25V
threshold, the F LT pin pulls low to indicate the detection
of a fault condition and provide warning to the load of
the impending power loss. In the case of an overvoltage
fault, the timer current then switches to a fixed 5µA. The
interval between FLT asserting low and the MOSFET turn-
ing off is given by:

The SOA of the MOSFET must encompass all fault condi-
tions. In normal operation the pass transistor is fully on,
dissipating very little power. But during either overvoltage
or overcurrent faults, the GATE pin is servoed to regu-
late either the output voltage or the current 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.
Transient Stress in the MOSFET
During an overvoltage event, the LT4356-3 drives a series
pass MOSFET to regulate the output voltage at an acceptable
level. The load circuitry may continue operating throughout
this interval, but only at the expense of dissipation in the
MOSFET pass device. MOSFET dissipation or stress is a
function of the input voltage waveform, regulation voltage
and load current. The MOSFET must be sized to survive
this stress.
Most transient event specifications use the model shown
in Figure 3. The idealized waveform comprises a linear
ramp of rise time tr, reaching a peak voltage of VPK and
exponentially decaying back to VIN with a time constant
of t. A common automotive transient specification has
constants of tr = 10µs, VPK = 80V and t = 1ms. A surge
condition known as “load dump” has constants of tr = 5ms,
VPK = 60V and t = 200ms.
This fixed early warning period allows time for the system
to perform necessary backup or house-keeping functions
before power is cut off. When VTMR crosses the 1.35V
threshold, the GATE pin pulls low immediately and turns
off the MOSFET. Note that during an overcurrent event the
timer current is not reduced to 5µA when VTMR reaches
1.25V, since it would lengthen the overall fault timer period
and cause additional MOSFET stress. After the GATE pin
pulls low due to a fault time out, the LT4356-3 latches off.
Allow sufficient time for the TMR pin to discharge to 0.5V
(typical discharge current is 2.2µA) and for the MOSFET
to cool before attempting to reset the part. To reset, pull
the SHDN pin low for at least 100µs, then pull high with
a slew rate of at least 10V/ms.
MOSFET Selection
The LT4356-3 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.
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 gate drive for the MOSFET is guaranteed to be more
than 10V and less than 16V for those applications with VCC
higher than 8V. This allows the use of standard threshold
voltage N-channel MOSFETs. For systems with VCC less
than 8V, a logic level MOSFET is required since the gate
drive can be as low as 4.5V.

MOSFET stress is the result of power dissipated within
the device. For long duration surges of 100ms or more,
stress is increasingly dominated by heat transfer; this is
a matter of device packaging and mounting, and heat sink
thermal mass. This is analyzed by simulation, using the
MOSFET thermal model.
For short duration transients of less than 100ms, MOSFET
survival is increasingly a matter of safe operating area
(SOA), an intrinsic property of the MOSFET. SOA quanti-
fies the time required at any given condition of VDS and
ID to raise the junction temperature of the MOSFET to its
rated maximum. MOSFET SOA is expressed in units of
watt-squared-seconds (P2t). This figure is essentially con-
stant for intervals of less than 100ms for any given device
type, and rises to infinity under DC operating conditions.
Destruction mechanisms other than bulk die temperature
distort the lines of an accurately drawn SOA graph so that
P2t is not the same for all combinations of ID and VDS.
In particular P2t tends to degrade as VDS approaches the
maximum rating, rendering some devices useless for
absorbing energy above a certain voltage.
Calculating Transient Stress
To select a MOSFET suitable for any given application, the
SOA stress must be calculated for each input transient
which shall not interrupt operation. It is then a simple matter
to chose a device which has adequate SOA to survive the
maximum calculated stress. P2t for a prototypical transient
waveform is calculated as follows (Figure 4).
Let
a = VREG – VIN
b = VPK – VIN
(VIN = Nominal Input Voltage)
Then
P2t=ILOAD21

Typically VREG ≈ VIN and t >> t r simplifying the above to
P2t=

ILOAD2(VPK – VREG)2τ(W2s)
For the transient conditions of VPK = 80V, VIN = 12V, VREG
= 16V, tr = 10µs and t = 1ms, and a load current of 3A,
P2t is 18.4W2s—easily handled by a MOSFET in a D-pak
package. The P2t of other transient waveshapes is evaluated
by integrating the square of MOSFET power versus time.
Calculating Short-Circuit Stress
SOA stress must also be calculated for short-circuit condi-
tions. Short-circuit P2t is given by:
P2t = (VIN • ΔVSNS/RSNS)2 • tTMR (W2s)
where, ΔVSNS is the SENSE pin threshold, and tTMR is the
overcurrent timer interval.
For VIN = 14.7V, VSNS = 50mV, RSNS = 12mΩ and CTMR
= 100nF, P2t is 6.6W2s—less than the transient SOA
calculated in the previous example. Nevertheless, to
account for circuit tolerances this figure should be doubled
to 13.2W2s.
Limiting Inrush Current and GATE Pin Compensation
The LT4356-3 limits the inrush current to any load capaci-
tance by controlling the GATE pin voltage slew rate. An
external capacitor can be connected from GATE to ground
to slow down the inrush current further at the expense of
slower turn-off time. The gate capacitor is set at:

The LT4356-3 does not need extra compensation compo-
nents at the GATE pin for stability during an overvoltage
or overcurrent event. However
, with fast, high voltage
transient steps at the input, a gate capacitor, C1, to ground
is needed to prevent turn-on of the N-channel MOSFET.
The extra gate capacitance slows down the turn off time
during fault conditions and may allow excessive current
during an output short event. An extra resistor, R1, in series
with the gate capacitor can improve the turn off time. A
diode, D1, should be placed across R1 with the cathode
connected to C1 as shown in Figure 5.
Reverse Input Protection
A blocking diode is commonly employed when reverse
input potential is possible, such as in automotive applica-
tions. This diode causes extra power loss, generates heat,
and reduces the available supply voltage range. During
cold crank, the extra voltage drop across the diode is
particularly undesirable.
The LT4356-3 is designed to withstand reverse voltage
without damage to itself or the load. The VCC, SNS, and
SHDN pins can withstand up to 60V of DC voltage below
the GND potential. Back-to-back MOSFETs must be used
to eliminate the current path through their body diodes
(Figure 7). Figure 8 shows the approach with a P-Channel
MOSFET in place of Q2.

Auxiliary Amplifier
An uncommitted amplifier is included in the LT4356-3 to
provide flexibility in the system design. With the negative
input connected internally to the 1.25V reference, the
amplifier can be connected as a level detect comparator
with external hysteresis. The open collector output pin,
AOUT, is capable of driving an opto or LED. It can also
interface with the system via a pull-up resistor to a supply
voltage up to 80V.
The amplifier can also be configured as a low dropout
linear regulator controller. With an external PNP transistor,
such as 2N2905A, it can supply up to 100mA of current
with only a few hundred mV of dropout voltage. Current
limit can be easily included by adding two diodes and one
resistor (Figure 6). The amplifier is turned off when the
LT4356-3 is shut down.

Shutdown
The LT4356-3 can be shut down to a low current mode
when the voltage at the SHDN pin goes below the shutdown
threshold of 0.6V. The quiescent current drops to 7µA. All
functions are turned off including the auxiliary amplifier.
After the GATE pin pulls low due to a fault time out, the
LT4356-3 latches off. Allow sufficient time for the TMR pin
to discharge to 0.5V (typical discharge current is 2.2µA)
and for the MOSFET to cool before attempting to reset the
part. To reset, pull the SHDN pin low for at least 100µs,
then pull high with a slew rate of at least 10V/ms.
The SHDN pin can be pulled up to VCC or below GND by
up to 60V without damaging the pin. Leaving the pin open
allows an internal current source to pull it up and turn
on the part while clamping the pin to 2.5V. The leakage
current at the pin should be limited to no more than 1µA
if no pull up device is used to help turn it on.
Supply Transient Protection
The LT4356-3 is 100% tested and guaranteed to be safe
from damage with supply voltages up to 80V. Nevertheless,
voltage transients above 100V may cause permanent dam-
age. During a short-circuit condition, the large change in
current flowing through power supply traces and associated
wiring can cause inductive voltage transients which could
exceed 100V. To minimize the voltage transients, the power
trace parasitic inductance should be minimized by using
wide traces. A small surge suppressor, D2, in Figure 9,
at the input will clamp the voltage spikes.
A total bulk capacitance of at least 22µF low ESR is required
close to the source pin of MOSFET Q1. In addition, the
bulk capacitance should be at least 10 times larger than
the total ceramic bypassing capacitor on the input of the
DC/DC converter.
Layout Considerations
To achieve accurate current sensing, Kelvin connection
to the current sense resistor (RSNS in Figure 9) is recom-
mended. The minimum trace width for 1oz copper foil is
0.02" per amp to ensure the trace stays at a reasonable
temperature. 0.03" per amp or wider is recommended.
Note that 1oz copper exhibits a sheet resistance of about
530µΩ/square. Small resistances can cause large errors in
high current applications. Noise immunity will be improved
significantly by locating resistive dividers close to the pins
with short VCC and GND traces.
Design Example
As a design example, take an application with the following
specifications: VCC = 8V to 14V DC with transient up to 80V,
VOUT ≤ 16V, current limit (ILIM) at 5A, low battery detection
at 6V, and 1ms of overvoltage early warning (Figure 9).

45.5µA = 0.878ms
The power dissipation on Q1 equals to:
P = 14V • 50mV
10mΩ
= 70W
These conditions are well within the Safe Operating Area
of IRLR2908.
