9 / 20 page  LT4356-1 9 43561fd The LT4356-1 can limit the voltage and current to the load circuitry during supply transients or overcurrent events. The total fault timer period should be set to ride through short overvoltage transients while not causing damage to the pass transistor. The selection of this N-channel MOSFET pass transistor is critical for this application. It must stay on and provide a low impedance path from the input supply to the load during normal operation and then dissipate power during overvoltage or overcurrent conditions. The following sections describe the overcurrent and the overvoltage faults, and the selection of the timer capacitor value based on the required warning time. The selection of the N-channel MOSFET pass transistor is discussed next. Auxiliary amplifier, reverse input, and the shutdown functions are covered after the MOSFET selection. External component selection is discussed in detail in the Design Example section. Overvoltage Fault The LTC4356-1 limits the voltage at the OUT pin during an overvoltage situation. An internal voltage amplifier regu- lates the GATE pin voltage to maintain a 1.25V threshold at the FB pin. During this period of time, the power MOSFET is still on and continues to supply current to the load. This allows uninterrupted operation during short overvoltage transient events. When the voltage regulation loop is engaged for longer than the time-out period, set by the timer capacitor con- nected from the TMR pin to ground, an overvoltage fault is detected. The GATE pin is pulled down to the OUT pin by a 150mA current. After the fault condition has disappeared and a cool down period has transpired, the GATE pin starts to pull high again. This prevents the power MOSFET from being damaged during a long period of overvoltage, such as during load dump in automobiles. Overcurrent Fault The LT4356-1 features an adjustable current limit that protects against short circuits or excessive load current. During an overcurrent event, the GATE pin is regulated to limit the current sense voltage across the VCC and SNS pins to 50mV. An overcurrent fault occurs when the current limit circuitry has been engaged for longer than the time-out delay set by the timer capacitor. The GATE pin is then immediately pulled low by a 10mA current to GND turning off the MOSFET. After the fault condition has disappeared and a cool down period has transpired, the GATE pin is allowed to pull back up and turn on the pass transistor. Fault Timer The LT4356-1 includes an adjustable fault timer pin. Con- necting a capacitor from the TMR pin to ground sets the delay timer period before the MOSFET is turned off. The same capacitor also sets the cool down period before the MOSFET is allowed to turn back on after the fault condition has disappeared. Once a fault condition, either overvoltage or overcurrent, is detected, a current source charges up the TMR pin. The current level varies depending on the voltage drop across the drain and source terminals of the power MOSFET(VDS), which is typically from the VCC pin to the OUT pin. This scheme takes better advantage of the avail- able Safe Operating Area (SOA) of the MOSFET than would a fixed timer current. The timer function operates down to VCC = 5V across the whole temperature range. Fault Timer Current The timer current starts at around 2μA with 0.5V or less of VDS, increasing linearly to 50μA with 75V of VDS dur- ing an overvoltage fault (Figure 1). During an overcurrent fault, it starts at 4μA with 0.5V or less of VDS but increases to 260μA with 80V across the MOSFET (Figure 2). This arrangement allows the pass transistor to turn off faster during an overcurrent event, since more power is dissipated during this condition. Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics section for the timer current at different VDS in both overvoltage and overcurrent events. When the voltage at the TMR pin, VTMR, reaches the 1.25V threshold, the FLT pin pulls low to indicate the detection of a fault condition and provide warning to the load of the impending power loss. In the case of an overvoltage fault, the timer current then switches to a fixed 5μA. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION |
