DescripTion
The LTC
®
4361 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.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
All currents into device pins are positive; all currents out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to GND unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3:
An internal clamp limits V
GATE
to a minimum of 4.5V above V
OUT
.
Driving this pin to voltages beyond this clamp may damage the device.

LTC4361-1/LTC4361-2
pin FuncTions
Exposed Pad (DFN):
Ground. Connection to PCB is optional.
GATE:
Gate Drive for External N-Channel MOSFET. An
internal charge pump provides a 10µA pull-up current to
charge the gate of the external N-channel MOSFET. An
additional ramp circuit limits the GATE ramp rate when
turning on to 3V/ms. For slower ramp rates, connect an
external capacitor from GATE to GND. An internal clamp
limits GATE to 6V above the OUT pin voltage. An internal
GATE high comparator controls the
PWRGD
pin.
GATEP:
Gate Drive for External P-Channel MOSFET. GATEP
connects to the gate of an optional external P-channel MOS-
FET to protect against negative voltages at IN. This pin is
internally clamped to 5.8V below V
IN
. An internal 2M resis-
tor connects this pin to ground. Connect to IN if not used.
GND:
Device Ground.
IN:
Supply Voltage Input. Connect this pin to the input
power supply. This pin has an overvoltage threshold of
5.8V. After an overvoltage event, this pin must fall below
V
IN(OV)
–
∆V
OV
to release the overvoltage lockout. Dur-
ing lockout, GATE is held low and the
PWRGD
pull-down
releases.
ON:
On Control Input. A logic low at
ON
enables the LTC4361.
A logic high at
ON
activates a low current pull-down at the
GATE pin and causes the LTC4361 to enter a low current
sleep mode. An internal 5µA current pulls
ON
down to
ground. Connect to ground or leave open if unused.
OUT:
Output Voltage Sense Input for GATE Clamp. Connect
to the source of the external N-channel MOSFET to sense
the output voltage for GATE to OUT clamp.
PWRGD:
Power Good Status. Open-drain output with
internal 500k resistive pull-up to OUT. Pulls low 65ms
after GATE ramps above V
GATE(TH)
.
SENSE:
Current Sense Input. Connect a sense resistor
between IN and SENSE. An overcurrent protection circuit
turns off the N-channel MOSFET when the voltage across
the sense resistor exceeds 50mV for more than 10µs.
