DESCRIPTION
The LT®4356 surge stopper protects loads from high
voltage transients. It regulates the output during an over
voltage event, such as load dump in automobiles, by controlling the gate of an external N-channel
MOSFET. The output is limited to a safe value thereby allowing the loads to continue functioning. The LT4356MP also monitors the
voltage drop between the VCC and SNS pins to protect against overcurrent faults. An internal amplifier limits the current sense
voltage to 50mV. In either fault condition, a timer is started inversely propor...
