The LT®4363 surge stopper protects loads from high voltage
transients. It regulates the output during an overvoltage
event, such as load dump in vehicles, by controlling the
gate of an external N-channel MOSFET. The output is limited
to a safe value allowing the loads to continue functioning.
The LT4363 also monitors the voltage drop between the
SNS and OUT pins to protect against overcurrent faults.
An internal amplifier limits the voltage across the current
sense resistor to 50mV. In either fault condition, a timer is
started inversely proportional to MOSFET stress. Before the
timer expires, the F LT pin pulls low to warn of an impend
ing power down. If the condition persists, the MOSFET is
turned off. The L

T4363-2 restarts after a cool down period.
T4363-1 remains off until reset whereas

for overvoltage (OV) and undervoltage (UV) conditions.
When the potential is below the UV threshold, the external
MOSFET is kept off. If the input supply voltage is above the
OV threshold, the MOSFET is not allowed to turn back on.
Back-to-back MOSFETs 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 during shutdown.

pin FuncTions
ENOUT: Open Collector Enable Output. The ENOUT pin goes
high impedance when the voltage at the OUT pin is within
0.5V of V
MOSFET is fully on. The state of the pin is latched until the
OUT pin voltage drops below 2V, resetting the latch. The
internal NPN is capable of sinking up to 2mA of current.
Exposed Pad (DFN Package Only): 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 resistive divider connected between
the OUT pin and ground. During an overvoltage condition,
the GATE pin is controlled to maintain a 1.275V threshold
at the FB pin. Connect 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 threshold
of 1.275V. 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 2mA of current.
GATE: N-Channel MOSFET Gate Drive Output. The GATE pin
is pulled up by an internal charge pump current source to
13V above the OUT pin. A 14V protection clamp limits this
voltage during faults. Both voltage and current amplifiers
control the GATE pin to regulate the output voltage and
limit the current through the MOSFET.
GND: Device Ground.
OUT: Output Voltage Sense Input. This pin senses the
voltage at the source of the external N-channel MOSFET.
The voltage difference between V
timer current. When this difference drops below 0.5V, the
EN pin goes high impedance.
OV (LT4363-2): Overvoltage Comparator Input. When OV
is above its threshold of 1.275V, the fault retry function
is inhibited even when the TMR pin voltage has reached
its retry threshold. As soon as the voltage at OV pin falls
below its lower threshold the GATE pin is allowed to turn
back on. Connect to GND if unused.
SHDN: Shutdown Control Input. The LT4363 can be
shutdown to a low current mode by pulling the SHDN pin
and 3V above GND, indicating the external
CC
and OUT sets the fault
CC
below the threshold of 0.4V. Pull this pin above 2.1V or
disconnect it to 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 external
pull up 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 input of
the current sense resistor. The current limit circuit controls
the GATE pin to limit the sense voltage between SNS and
OUT pins to 50mV. This is reduced to 25mV in a severe
fault when OUT is below 2V. When in current limit mode,
a current source charges up the TMR pin. The voltage
difference with the OUT pin must be limited to less than
30V. Connect to OUT pin if unused.
TMR: Fault Timer Input. Connect a capacitor between this
pin and ground to set the times for early fault warning,
fault turn-off, and cool down periods. The current charg
ing up this pin during fault conditions depends on the
voltage difference between the V
TMR reaches 1.275V, the F LT pin pulls low to indicate the
detection of a fault condition. If the condition persists, the
pass transistor turns off when TMR reaches the threshold
of 1.375V. A 2µA current source then continues to pull the
TMR up. When TMR reaches 4.3V, the 2µA current reverses
direction and starts to pull the TMR pin low. When TMR
reaches the retry threshold of 0.5V, the GATE pin pulls
high turning back on the pass transistor for the LT4363-2
version. The GATE pin latches low after fault time out for
the LT4363-1. A minimum of 10nF capacitor is needed to
compensate the loop.
UV: Undervoltage Comparator Input. When UV falls below
its threshold of 1.275V, the GATE is pulled down with a
1mA current. When UV rises above 1.275V plus the hys
teresis, the pull down current disappears and the GATE
pin is pulled up by the internal charge pump. If unused,
connect to V
: Positive Supply Voltage Input. The positive supply
V
CC
input ranges from 4V to 80V for normal operation. It can
also be pulled below ground by up to 60V during a reverse
battery condition, without damaging the part. Shutting
down the LT4363 by pulling the SHDN pin to ground will
reduce the supply current to 7µA.

LT4363
operaTion
Some power systems must cope with high voltage surges
of short duration such as those in vehicles. Load circuitry
must be protected from these transients, yet high availability
systems must continue operating during these events.
The LT4363 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 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 voltage surges
too high, the voltage amplifier (VA) controls the gate of the
MOSFET and regulates the voltage at the OUT pin to a level
that is set by the external resistive divider from the OUT
pin to ground and the internal 1.275V reference. A current
source starts charging up the capacitor connected at the
TMR pin to ground. If the TMR voltage reaches 1.275V,
the F LT pin pulls low to indicate impending turn-off due
to the overvoltage condition. The pass transistor stays on
until TMR reaches 1.375V, at which point the GATE pin
pulls low turning off the MOSFET.

sufficient time for TMR to discharge to 0.5V 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 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 vehicles. The timer period
varies with the voltage across the MOSFET
age
corresponds to a shorter fault timer period, helping
to keep the MOSFET within its safe operating area (SOA).

T4363 senses an overcurrent condition by monitor
The
ing the voltage across an optional sense resistor placed
between the SNS and OUT pins. An active current limit
circuit (IA) controls the GATE pin to limit the sense volt
age to 50mV, if the OUT pin potential is above 2V. In the
case of a severe output short that brings OUT below 2V,
the servo sense voltage is reduced to 25mV to reduce
the stress on the pass transistor. During current limit, the
current charging the TMR capacitor is about 5 times the
current during an overvoltage event. The F LT pin pulls low
when the TMR voltage reaches 1.275V and the MOSFET
is turned off when it reaches 1.375V. The MOSFET turns
back on and the F LT pin returns to a high impedance state
after TMR has reached the 0.5V threshold for the LT4363-2
version. For the latch-off version, LT4363-1, both the GATE
and F LT pins remain low even after TMR has reached
the 0.5V threshold. Reset the part in the same way as in

An accurate undervoltage comparator keeps the GATE
pin low until the voltage at the UV pin is above the
1.275V threshold. An overvoltage comparator prevents
the MOSFET from turning on after fault time-out while
the voltage at the OV pin is still above 1.275V for the
LT4363-2. The SHDN pin turns off the pass transistor
and all the internal circuitry, reducing the supply current
to a mere 7µA.

LT4363
The LT4363 limits the voltage and current delivered to the
load during supply transient or output overload events. The
total fault timer period is set to ride through short-duration
faults, while longer events cause the output to shut off
and protect the MOSFET pass device from damage. The
MOSFET provides a low resistance path from the input to
the load during normal operation, while in fault conditions
it operates as a series regulator.
Overvoltage Fault
The LT4363 limits the voltage at the output during an
overvoltage at the input. An internal amplifier regulates
the GATE pin to maintain 1.275V at the FB pin. During
this interval the MOSFET is on and supplies current to
the load. This allows uninterrupted operation during short
overvoltage events. If the overvoltage condition persists,
the timer causes the MOSFET to turn off.
Overcurrent Fault
The LT4363 features and adjustable current limit that pro
tects against output short circuits or excessive load current.
During an overcurrent event, the GATE pin is regulated to
limit the current sense voltage across the SNS and OUT
pins to 50mV. In the case of a severe short at the output,
where OUT is less than 2V, the current sense voltage is
reduced to 25mV to further reduce power dissipation in
the MOSFET. If the overcurrent condition persists, the
timer causes the MOSFET to turn off.
Fault Timer Overview
Overvoltage and overcurrent conditions are limited in
duration by an adjustable timer. A capacitor at the TMR pin
sets the delay time before a fault condition is reported at
the F LT pin as well as the overall delay before the MOSFET
is turned off. The same capacitor also sets the cool down
time before the MOSFET is allowed to turn back on.
When either an overvoltage or overcurrent fault condition
occurs, a current source charges the TMR pin capacitor.
The exact current level varies as a function of the type of
fault and the V
voltage drop across the MOSFET. This
DS
scheme takes better advantage of the MOSFET’s available
Safe Operating Area (SOA) than would a fixed timer current.
The TMR pin is biased to 0.5V under normal operating
conditions. In the presence of a fault the timer first charges
to 1.275V, and then enters the early warning phase of
operation. At this point the F LT pin pulls low and after
charging to 1.375V, the timer shuts off the MOSFET. The
warning phase is indicated by F LT low and gives time for
the load to perform house-keeping chores such as data
storage in anticipation of impending power loss. After
faulting off, the timer enters the cool down phase. At the
end of the cool down period the LT4363-1 remains off until
reset, while the LT4363-2 automatically restarts. For the
LT4363-2 retry is inhibited if the OV pin is greater than
1.275V. This prevents motorboating in the event there is
a sustained input overvoltage condition.
Fault Timer Operation in Overvoltage

LT4363 regulates the output voltage, the timer charges

Intermittent Fault Conditions
Brief overvoltage or overcurrent conditions interrupt the
operation of the timer. If the TMR pin has not yet reached
1.275V when the input falls below the regulation value
or drops out of current limit, the timer capacitor is dis
-
charged back to 0.5V with a 2µA current sink. If the TMR
voltage crosses 1.275V F LT is set low. If the overvoltage
or overcurrent abates before reaching 1.375V, the timer
capacitor discharges with 2µA back to 0.5V, whereupon
F LT resets high. If several short overvoltage or overcurrent
events occur in rapid succession, the timer capacitor will
integrate the charging and discharging currents.

Transient Stress in the MOSFET
During an overvoltage event, the LT4363 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.

MOSFET stress is the result of power dissipated within

stress is increasingly dominated by heat transfer; this is

the MOSFET thermal model.
For short duration transients of less than 100ms, MOSFET
survival is increasingly a matter of safe operating area

When a fast input voltage step occurs, the current through
the pass transistor to supply the load and charge up the out
put capacitor can be high enough to trigger an overcurrent
event. The gate pulls low to 1V above the OUT pin, turning
the

MOSFET momentarily. The internal charge pump
will then start to pull the GATE pin high and turn on the
MOSFET to support the load current and charge up the
OUT pin. The fault timer may not start yet because the
current level is below the overcurrent limit threshold and
the output voltage has not reached the servo voltage. This
extra stress needs to be included in calculating the overall
stress level of the MOSFET.
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

Limiting Inrush Current and GATE Pin Compensation
The LT4363 limits the inrush current to any load capacitance
by controlling the GATE pin voltage slew rate. An external
capacitor can be connected from GATE to ground to reduce
the inrush current at the expense of slower turn-off time.
The gate capacitor is set at:
GATE(UP)
C1=
I
•C
L
The LT4363 does not need extra compensation components at the GATE pin for stability during an overvoltage or
overcurrent event. With transient input voltage slew rates
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.
threshold during a fault. The pass transistor is not allowed
to turn back on even after the cool down period has finished.
This prevents the pass transistor from cycling between ON
and OFF states when the input voltage stays at an elevated
level for a long period of time, reducing the stress on the
N-channel MOSFET. For the latch-off version, LT4363-1,
the overvoltage comparator function is not available.
Reverse Input Protection
A blocking diode is commonly employed to protect the
load when reverse input is possible, such as in automo
tive applications. 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 LT4363 is designed to withstand reverse voltage with
out damage to itself. The V

Shutdown
The LT4363 can be shut down to a low current mode when
the voltage at the SHDN pin is pulled below the shutdown
threshold of 0.4V. The quiescent current drops down to
7µA with internal circuitry turned off.
The SHDN pin can be pulled up to 100V or below GND by
up to 60V without damage. Leaving the pin open allows
an internal current source to pull it up and turn on the part
while clamping the pin to 2.2V. 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 LT4363 is tested to operate to 80V and guaranteed to
be safe from damage up to 100V. Nevertheless, voltage
transients above 100V may cause permanent damage.
During a short-circuit condition, the large change in cur
rent flowing through power supply traces and associated
wiring can cause inductive voltage transients which could
exceed 100V. T

Figure 8. Overvoltage Regulator with Input Voltage Detection
Another way to limit transients above 100V at the V
CC
pin is to use a Zener diode and a resistor, D1 and R7 in
Figure 8. The Zener diode limits the voltage at the pin while
the resistor limits the current through the diode to a safe
level during the surge. However, D1 can be omitted if the
filtered voltage, due to R7 and C1, at the V
100V. The inclusion of R7 in series with the V
increase the minimum required voltage at V
pin is below
CC
pin will
CC
due to the
IN
extra voltage drop across it. This voltage drop is due to the
supply current of the LT4363 and the leakage current of D1.
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

mended. The minimum trace width for 1 oz 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

Design Example
As a design example, take an application with the follow
ing specifications: VCC = 8V to 14V DC with a transient of
150V and decay time constant (τ) of 400ms, V
current limit (I
overvoltage level at 60V, and 1ms of overvoltage early
warning (Figure 8).
Selection of SMAJ58A for D1 will limit the voltage at the
pin to less than 71V during 150V surge. The minimum

value for R7 to ensure proper operation is:
