LTC4381
Low Quiescent Current Surge
Stopper with 9mΩ MOSFET
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®4381 is an integrated solution for low quiescent
current surge stopper applications that protect loads from
high voltage transients. Overvoltage protection is pro-
vided by clamping the gate voltage of an internal 9mΩ
N-channel MOSFET to limit the output voltage to a safe
value during overvoltage events such as load dump in
automobiles. The MOSFET safe operating area is pro-
duction tested and guaranteed for the stresses during
high voltage transients. Fixed output clamp voltages are
selectable for 12V and 24V/28V systems. For systems of
any voltage up to 80V, use the adjustable clamp versions.

32-Lead DFN (7mm × 5mm) Package
The GATE pin can drive back-to-back MOSFETs for
reverse input protection, eliminating the voltage drop
and dissipation of a Schottky diode solution. A low 6µA
operating current permits use in always-on and battery
powered applications.
