LT4356MP-1/LT4356MP-2
Surge Stopper
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
TheLT®4356surgestopperprotectsloadsfromhighvoltage
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 LT4356MP also monitors the

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 FLT 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.

Spare Amplifier for Level Detection Comparator or
Linear Regulator Controller

Available in 10-Pin MSOP or 16-Pin SO Packages
The spare amplifier may be used as a voltage detection
comparator or as a linear regulator controller driving an
external PNP pass transistor.
APPLICATIONS
n
Automotive/Avionic Surge Protection
Back-to-back FETs can be used in lieu of a Schottky diode
for reverse input protection, reducing voltage drop and
powerloss. Ashutdownpinreducesthequiescentcurrent

60μA for the LT4356-2 while keeping the reference and
auxiliary amplifier functioning.
