APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LT4356-3
The LT4356-3 does not need extra compensation compo-
nents at the GATE pin for stability during an overvoltage or
overcurrent event. However, with fast, high voltage transient
steps at the input, a gate capacitor, C1, to ground is needed
to prevent turn-on 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.
Auxiliary Amplifi er
An uncommitted amplifi er is included in the LT4356-3 to
provide fl exibility in the system design. With the negative
input connected internally to the 1.25V reference, the am-
plifi er can be connected as a level detect comparator with
external hysteresis. The open collector output pin, A
is capable of driving an opto or LED. It can also interface
with the system via a pull-up resistor to a supply voltage
up to 80V.
The amplifi er can also be confi gured as a low dropout
linear regulator controller. With an external PNP transistor,
such as 2N2905A, it can supply up to 100mA of current
with only a few hundred mV of dropout voltage. Current
limit can be easily included by adding two diodes and one
resistor (Figure 6). The amplifi er is turned off when the
LTC4356-3 is shut down.

Reverse Input Protection
A blocking diode is commonly employed when reverse
input potential is possible, such as in automotive applica-
tions. 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 LT4356-3 is designed to withstand reverse voltage
without damage to itself or the load. The V
SHDN pins can withstand up to 60V of DC voltage below
the GND potential. Back-to-back MOSFETs must be used
to eliminate the current path through their body diodes
(Figure 7). Figure 8 shows the approach with a P-Channel
MOSFET in place of Q2.
