overvoltage/overcurrent protection control-
ler safeguards 2.5V to 5.5V systems from input supply
overvoltage. It is designed for portable devices with
multiple power supply options including wall adaptors,
car battery adaptors and USB ports.
The LTC4361 controls an external N-channel MOSFET in
series with the input power supply. During overvoltage
transients, the LTC4361 turns off the MOSFET within
1µs, isolating downstream components from the input
supply. Inductive cable transients are absorbed by the
MOSFET and load capacitance. In most applications, the
LTC4361 provides protection from transients up to 80V
without requiring transient voltage suppressors or other
external components.
The LTC4361 has a delayed start-up and adjustable dV/dt
ramp-up for inrush current limiting. A PWRGD pin provides
power good monitoring for V
IN
. The LTC4361 features a soft
shutdown controlled by the ON pin and drives an optional
external P-channel MOSFET for negative voltage protection.
Following an overvoltage condition, the LTC4361 automati-
cally restarts with a start-up delay. After an overcurrent
fault, the LTC4361-1 remains off while the LTC4361-2
automatically restarts after a 130ms start-up delay.
