FEATURES DESCRIPTION
Surge Stopper
The LT
®
4356 surge stopper protects loads from high volt-
age transients. It regulates the output during an overvolt-
age event, such as load dump in automobiles, by control-
ling the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET. The output
is limited to a safe value thereby allowing the loads to
continue functioning. The LT4356MP also monitors the
voltage drop between the V
CC
and SNS pins to protect
against overcurrent faults. An internal amplifier limits the
current sense voltage to 50mV. In either fault condition, 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. After a cooldown period, the GATE
pin pulls up turning on the MOSFET again.
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. A shutdown pin reduces the quiescent current
to less than 7µA for the LT4356-1 during shutdown. The
LT4356-2 differs from the LT4356-1 during shutdown by
reducing the quiescent current to 60µA and keeping alive
the auxiliary amplifier for uses such as an undervoltage
lockout or always-on regulator.

PIN FUNCTIONS
AOUT (SO Package 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.
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.
F LT : Open-Collector Fault Output. This pin pulls low after
the voltage at the TMR pin has reached the fault thresh-
old 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 (volt-
age fault) or the device is in an overcurrent condition
(current fault). The internal NPN is capable of sink-
ing 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
+
(SO Package 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 can be shut
down to a low current mode by pulling the SHDN pin
below 0.4V. Pull this pin above 2.1V or disconnect it and
allow the internal current source to turn the part back on.
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. In shutdown, the
auxiliary amplifier turns off in the LT4356-1 but continues
operating in the LT4356-2.
SNS: Current Sense Input. Connect this pin to the out-
put 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,
fault and cooldown periods. The current charging up this
pin during fault conditions depends on the voltage differ-
ence 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 transis-
tor turns off when VTMR reaches the threshold of 1.35V.
As soon as the fault condition disappears, the pull-up
current stops and a 2µA current starts to pull the TMR pin
down. When VTMR reaches the retry threshold of 0.5V, the
GATE pin pulls high turning back on the pass transistor.
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 func-
tional blocks off.

Some power systems must cope with high voltage surges
of short duration such as those in automobiles. Load cir-
cuitry must be protected from these transients, yet high
availability systems must continue operating during these
events.
The LT4356 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. Two MOSFETs can
be connected back to back to replace an inline Schottky
diode for reverse input protection. This improves the effi-
ciency 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 turn-
ing off the MOSFET.
The potential at the TMR pin starts decreasing as soon as
the overvoltage condition disappears. When the voltage
at the TMR pin reaches 0.5V the GATE pin begins rising,
turning on the MOSFET. The FLT pin will then go to a high
impedance state.
The fault timer allows the load to continue function-
ing during short transient events while protecting the
MOSFET from being damaged by a long period of supply
overvoltage, 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 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.
A shutdown pin turns off the pass transistor and reduces
the supply current to less than 7µA for the LT4356-1. The
supply current drops down to 60µA while keeping the
internal reference and the auxiliary amplifier active for the
LT4356-2 version during shutdown.

The LT4356 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 func-
tions are covered after the MOSFET selection. External
component selection is discussed in detail in the Design
Example section.
Overvoltage Fault
The LT4356 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. After the fault condition has disap-
peared and a cooldown period has transpired, the GATE
pin starts to pull high again. This prevents the power
MOSFET from being damaged during a long period of
overvoltage, such as during load dump in automobiles.
Overcurrent Fault
The LT4356 features an adjustable current limit that pro-
tects 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 cir-
cuitry has been engaged for longer than the time-out delay
set by the timer capacitor. The GATE pin is then immedi-
ately pulled low by a 10mA current to GND turning off the
MOSFET. After the fault condition has disappeared and a
cooldown period has transpired, the GATE pin is allowed
to pull back up and turn on the pass transistor.
Fault Timer
The LT4356 includes an adjustable fault timer pin.
Connecting 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 cooldown 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 Operating 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 V
DS
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 cur-
rent at different VDS in both overvoltage and overcurrent
events.
When the voltage at the TMR pin, V
TMR
, 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:

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.
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 drives a series
pass MOSFET to regulate the output voltage at an accept-
able level. The load circuitry may continue operating
throughout this interval, but only at the expense of dis-
sipation 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 t
r
=
5ms, VPK = 60V and t = 200ms.
This fixed early warning period allows the systems to
perform necessary backup or house-keeping functions
before the power supply is cut off. After V
TMR
crosses the
1.35V threshold, the pass transistor turns off immediately.
Note that during an overcurrent event, the timer current is
not reduced to 5µA after VTMR has reached 1.25V thresh-
old, since it would lengthen the overall fault timer period
and cause more stress on the power MOSFET.
As soon as the fault condition has disappeared, a 2µA
current starts to discharge the timer capacitor to ground.
When VTMR reaches the 0.5V threshold, the internal
charge pump starts to pull the GATE pin high, turning
on the MOSFET. The TMR pin is then actively regulated
to 0.5V until the next fault condition appears. The total
cooldown timer period is given by:
tCOOL =
C
TMR

MOSFET Selection
The LT4356 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 volt-
age 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

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
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 heatsink
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
constant 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 sur-
vive 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
3tr
b – a

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

2
ILOAD2VPK – VREG
( )
2t(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 pack-
age. 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 con-
ditions. 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 dou-
bled to 13.2W2s.
Limiting Inrush Current and GATE Pin Compensation
The LT4356 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:

Figure 5
Figure 6. Auxiliary LDO Output with Optional Current Limit
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT4356 does not need extra compensation compo-
nents at the GATE pin for stability during an overvoltage or
overcurrent event. With transient input voltage step faster
than 5V/µs, a gate capacitor, C1, to ground is needed to
prevent self enhancement 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.
Auxiliary Amplifier
An uncommitted amplifier is included in the LT4356 to
provide flexibility in the system design. With the nega-
tive input connected internally to the 1.25V reference, the
amplifier can be connected as a level detect compara-
tor with external hysteresis. The open collector output
pin, A
OUT
, 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. Another use is to implement
undervoltage lockout, as shown in the typical application
“Overvoltage Regulator with Undervoltage Lockout.” In
shutdown, the auxiliary amplifier turns off in the LT4356-1
but continues operating in the LT4356-2.

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).
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 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.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Shutdown
The LT4356 can be shut down to a low current mode
when the voltage at the SHDN pin goes below the shut-
down threshold of 0.6V. The quiescent current drops to
7µA for the LT4356-1 and 60µA for the LT4356-2 which
leaves the auxiliary amplifier on.
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 is guaranteed to be safe from damage with
supply voltages up to 100V. Nevertheless, voltage tran-
sients above 100V may cause permanent damage. During
a short-circuit condition, the large change in current flow-
ing 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 electro-
lytic 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 follow-
ing 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).
First, calculate the resistive divider value to limit VOUT to
16V during an overvoltage event:
VREG =1.25V • R1 + R2
( )
R2
=16V
Set the current through R1 and R2 during the overvoltage
condition to 250µA.
R2 =
1.25V
250µA = 5k
Choose 4.99k for R2.
R1 =
16V – 1.25V
( )
• R2
1.25V
= 58.88k
The closest standard value for R1 is 59k.
Next calculate the sense resistor, RSNS, value:
RSNS =
50mV
I
LIM
=
50mV
5A = 10mΩ
CTMR is then chosen for 1ms of early warning time:
CTMR =
1ms • 5µA
100mV
= 50nF
The closest standard value for CTMR is 47nF.
Finally, calculate R4 and R5 for the 6V low battery thresh-
old detection:
6V =
1.25V • R4 + R5
( )
R5
Choose 100k for R5.
R4 = 6V – 1.25V
( )
• R5
1.25V
= 380k
Select 383k for R4.
The pass transistor, Q1, should be chosen to withstand
the output short condition with VCC = 14V.
The total overcurrent fault time is:
tOC =
47nF • 0.85V
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.
