LT4356 Surge Stopper: Overvoltage Protection Regulator and Inrush Current Limiter
In industrial applications, high voltage power supply spikes with durations ranging from a few microseconds to hundreds of milliseconds
are commonly encountered. The electronics in these systems must not only survive transient voltage spikes, but in many cases also
operate reliably throughout the event.
®
The LT
voltage circuitry from damaging spikes and surges found in industrial systems. The LT4356 offers complete front end protection, guards
against overloads and short circuits, and withstands input voltage reversal with a simple IC/MOSFET solution. The LT4356 also protects
against DC overvoltage and overcurrent, which ordinary surge suppressors cannot do.
Under normal conditions, the LT4356 drives the MOSFET fully on, so that input power passes through directly to the load, with very little
loss. If the input voltage rises above an adjustable output threshold, the LT4356 regulates the output at a safe level. The regulating action
eliminates the need to use high voltage rated components downstream. Instead, less costly components may be used, because the
LT4356 blocks high voltages from reaching them.
The LT4356 provides the ability to ride out transients for continued system operation. If the fault persists, an adjustable timer sets a time
limit to ensure the MOSFET stays within its operating limits before the load is disconnected and the system is shut down. The timer
capacitor is charged with a current proportional to the voltage drop, Vds. For an overcurrent fault, the timer charging current is increased.
This unique feature takes more advantage of the Safe Operating Area (SOA) of the MOSFET than would a fixed timer interval, allowing the
user to size the MOSFET appropriately for their surge requirements.
4356 Surge Stopper reduces the need for bulky filtering components (capacitors, inductors, TVS diodes, fuses) by isolating low

Hot Swap Controllers – High Voltage
Hot Swap controllers allow a circuit board to be safely inserted and removed from a live backplane. Using an N-channel pass MOSFET,
the board supply voltage can be ramped at an adjustable rate. Product features include independent adjustable inrush current and
overcurrent limits to minimize stresses on the pass MOSFET during start-up, input step, and output step short-circuit conditions. Newer
generation devices include an onboard ADC for board voltage and current monitoring, and an I

ORing Ideal Diode Controllers
Linear’s family of ideal diode controllers reduces forward voltage drop and power dissipation in ORing applications, eliminating the
heat sinks required by conventional rectifiers. They deliver smooth switchover without chatter and are free from oscillation in load sharing
applications, yet respond quickly when called upon to block DC current in the reverse state. Our controllers prevent backfeeding between
supplies and are easily configured to protect against reverse polarity inputs.
Ideal Diode Controllers – High Voltage
LTC4354: Negative Voltage Diode-OR Controller and Monitor
The LTC4354 is a negative voltage and the LTC4355 is a positive voltage
diode-OR controller that drive two external N-channel MOSFETs. Each
replaces two Schottky diodes and the associated heat sink, saving power
and space. The power dissipation is greatly reduced by using N-channel
MOSFETs as the pass transistors. Power sources can be easily ORed
together to increase total system power and reliability.
LTC4355: Positive High Voltage Dual Ideal Diode-OR with Input
Supply and Fuse Monitors
The LTC4355 can diode-OR two positive supplies or the return paths
of two negative supplies, such as in a –48V system. Power fault
detection indicates if the input supplies are not in regulation, the
inline fuses are blown, or the voltages across the MOSFETs are
greater than the fault threshold.

LTC4352: Low Voltage Ideal Diode Controller with Monitoring
The LTC4352 is a 0V to 18V ideal diode controller that enables low
loss ORing of multiple power sources with minimal disturbance to
supply voltages. A fast turn-on reduces the load voltage drop during
supply switchover. Power passage is disabled during undervoltage
or overvoltage conditions. The controller also features an open
MOSFET detect circuit that flags excessive voltage drop across the
pass transistor in the on state. A REV pin enables reverse current,
overriding the diode behavior when desired.

Introduction to DC/DC Controllers
High density power systems require very high efficiency, excellent power density and ease of implementation. Linear
Technology offers a family of high performance DC/DC controllers specifically tailored for isolated power conversion for input
voltages ranging from 4V to 100V for telecom, datacom and industrial applications. We feature primary- and secondary-side
control ICs, which provide synchronous rectification, fast transient response, overvoltage and overcurrent protection and a
host of other features. These devices enable output voltages from 0.6V to 52V from flyback, forward, half-bridge, push-pull
or full-bridge topologies. Off-the-shelf planar magnetics can be used in many applications, reducing design complexity.
Flyback Controllers – Low Power (Up to 60W)
0309
Synchronous and non-synchronous flyback
controllers are offered for output power
levels up to 60W. This family of current mode
flyback controllers can either regulate the
output voltage with integrated primary-side
regulation circuitry or can be used with
a secondary-side optocoupler driver and
optoisolator. Synchronous rectification is
easily controlled by the LT3825 or LT3837,
which increases conversion efficiency and
improves output cross regulation in multiple
output power supplies. As an example,
the LT3825 can convert an input supply of
36V-75V to an isolated output of 3.3V at
12A with up to 90% efficiency.

Isolated Solutions for Industrial Applications
Many industrial applications demand isolation and high efficiency at lower input voltages. Linear Technology offers multiple controllers
specifically designed for isolated power conversion from 12V and 24V sources. Advantages of these solutions include reduced complexity,
synchronous rectification and the ability to accommodate other output voltages and power levels with relatively minor changes to existing
designs. Leveraging these flyback and forward solutions results in shorter design cycles and flexible designs.

Push-Pull, Half- and Full-Bridge Controllers – High Power (100W to 750W)
The LTC3721 and LTC3723 controllers are well suited for power levels from 100W to 750W, providing simple solutions for high power
applications. Synchronous and non-synchronous rectification modes of operation are supported. The push-pull, half- and full-bridge
configurations offer smaller input filter and output inductors compared to single-ended converters. They also provide up to 40% greater
transformer utilization and balanced semiconductor power dissipation over the input voltage range.

The forward converter is the preferred topology for
very high step-down ratio nonisolated applications. This
topology produces a higher efficiency converter when
stepping down from 48V to voltages below 5V versus a
conventional buck and allows the use of smaller input
and output capacitors.

LTC4150: Coulomb Counter/Battery Gas Gauge
The LTC4150 measures battery depletion and charging in handheld PC and portable product applications. The device monitors current
through an external sense resistor between the battery’s positive terminal and the battery’s load or charger. A voltage-to-frequency
converter transforms the current sense voltage into a series of output pulses at the interrupt pin. These pulses correspond to a fixed quantity
of charge flowing into or out of the battery. The part also indicates charge polarity as the battery is depleted or charged. The LTC4150 is
intended for 1-cell or 2-cell Li-Ion and 3-cell to 6-cell NiCd or NiMH applications.

LTC4151: High Voltage I2C Current and Voltage Monitor
The LTC4151 and LTC4151-1 are high side power monitors that operate over a wide voltage range of 7V to 80V. In default operation,
the onboard 12-bit ADC continuously measures high side current, input voltage and an external voltage. Data is reported through the I
interface when polled by a host. The monitors can also perform on-demand measurement in a snapshot mode. The LTC4151 features a
2
dedicated shutdown pin to reduce power consumption. The LTC4151-1 features split I
C data pins with data in and an inverted data output
to drive optoisolators.

Supply Trackers, Sequencers and Margining Controllers
Energy efficiency and power consumption are critical factors in today’s electronic designs. With many different voltage rails supplying large
load currents, managing power consumption and optimizing, overall efficiency can be a challenge. This family of power supply controllers
allows users to select the sequence of power supply ramp-up and ramp-down, and actively control the outputs, including support for
DC/DC converter modules. In addition, users have the option of tracking supplies in a coincident, offset or ratiometric fashion, as well as
margining the supplies, and allow for the testing of supply voltage limits as specified by the system.
The LTC2970 and LTC2978, dual and octal controllers, offer digital power management of analog supplies to ensure precise trimming,
margining and monitoring using on-chip high resolution ADCs and DACs. The LTC2970/LTC2978 work with almost any power supply,
allowing designers to choose the optimal DC/DC converter that provides smooth control of the output voltage and a fast transient response.
An on-chip reference and high accuracy Δ∑ A/D converter ensure accurate measurements of supply voltages, load currents or temperature.
Voltage-buffered DACs drive the supplies’ feedback nodes for improved accuracy and can be programmed by a slow, linear voltage servo to
trim and margin the output voltages. This is extremely useful in determining the load’s sensitivity to the power supply during the prototype
phase or to test for manufacturing variations in production.
Extensive, user-configurable fault monitoring provides increased reliability, alerting a system’s host to incipient failures before they occur.
The LTC2978 also includes a configuration EEPROM with fault logging. The Δ∑ ADC architecture was specifically chosen to average out
power supply noise and allow fast transients. The point of load ground reference for the DAC outputs minimizes errors that would otherwise
occur in a power system that experiences ground bounce.
