The LT®4363 surge stopper protects loads from high voltage
transients. It regulates the output during an overvoltage
event, such as load dump in vehicles, by controlling the
gate of an external N-channel MOSFET. The output is limited
to a safe value allowing the loads to continue functioning.
The LT4363 also monitors the voltage drop between the
SNS and OUT pins to protect against overcurrent faults.
An internal amplifier limits the voltage across the current
sense resistor to 50mV. In either fault condition, a timer is
started inversely proportional to MOSFET stress. Before the
timer expires, the FLT pin pulls low to warn of an impending power down. If the condition persists, the MOSFET is
turned off. The LT4363-1 remains off until reset whereas
the LT4363-2 restarts after a cool down period.
Two precision comparators can monitor the input supply
for overvoltage (OV) and undervoltage (UV) conditions.
When the potential is below the UV threshold, the external
MOSFET is kept off. If the input supply voltage is above the
OV threshold, the MOSFET is not allowed to turn back on.
Back-to-back MOSFETs can be used in lieu of a Schottky
diode for reverse input protection, reducing voltage drop
and power loss. A shutdown pin reduces the quiescent
current to less than 7µA during shutdown.

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 current out of device
pins are negative. All voltages are referenced to GND unless otherwise
specified.
Note 3: An internal clamp limits the GATE pin to a minimum of 10V above
the OUT pin. Driving this pin to voltages beyond the clamp may damage
the device.

PIN FUNCTIONS
ENOUT: Open Collector Enable Output. The ENOUT pin goes
high impedance when the voltage at the OUT pin is within
0.5V of VCC and 3V above GND, indicating the external
MOSFET is fully on. The state of the pin is latched until the
OUT pin voltage drops below 2V, resetting the latch. The
internal NPN is capable of sinking up to 2mA of current.
Exposed Pad (DFN Package Only): Exposed pad may be
left open or connected to device ground (GND).
FB: Voltage Regulator Feedback Input. Connect this pin to
the center tap of the resistive divider connected between
the OUT pin and ground. During an overvoltage condition,
the GATE pin is controlled to maintain a 1.275V threshold
at the FB pin. Connect to GND to disable the OV clamp.
FLT: Open Collector Fault Output. This pin pulls low after
the voltage at the TMR pin has reached the fault threshold
of 1.275V. It indicates the pass transistor is about to turn off
because either the supply voltage has stayed at an elevated
level for an extended period of time (voltage fault) or the
device is in an overcurrent condition (current fault). The
internal NPN is capable of sinking up to 2mA of current.
GATE: N-Channel MOSFET Gate Drive Output. The GATE pin
is pulled up by an internal charge pump current source and
clamped to 14V above the OUT pin. Both voltage and current amplifiers control the GATE pin to regulate the output
voltage and limit the current through the MOSFET.
GND: Device Ground.
OUT: Output Voltage Sense Input. This pin senses the
voltage at the source of the external N-channel MOSFET.
The voltage difference between VCC and OUT sets the fault
timer current. When this difference drops below 0.5V, the
EN pin goes high impedance.
OV (LT4363-2): Overvoltage Comparator Input. When OV
is above its threshold of 1.275V, the fault retry function
is inhibited even when the TMR pin voltage has reached
its retry threshold. As soon as the voltage at OV pin falls
below its lower threshold the GATE pin is allowed to turn
back on. Connect to GND if unused.
SHDN: Shutdown Control Input. The LT4363 can be
shutdown to a low current mode by pulling the SHDN pin
below the threshold of 0.4V. Pull this pin above 2.1V or
disconnect it to allow the internal current source to turn
the part back on. The leakage current to ground at the pin
should be limited to no more than 1µA if no external pull
up is used to turn the part on. The SHDN pin can be pulled
up to 100V or below GND by 60V without damage.
SNS: Current Sense Input. Connect this pin to the input of
the current sense resistor. The current limit circuit controls
the GATE pin to limit the sense voltage between SNS and
OUT pins to 50mV. This is reduced to 25mV in a severe
fault when OUT is below 2V. When in current limit mode,
a current source charges up the TMR pin. The voltage
difference with the OUT pin must be limited to less than
30V. Connect to OUT pin if unused.
TMR: Fault Timer Input. Connect a capacitor between this
pin and ground to set the times for early fault warning,
fault turn-off, and cool down periods. The current charging up this pin during fault conditions depends on the
voltage difference between the VCC and OUT pins. When
TMR reaches 1.275V, the FLT pin pulls low to indicate the
detection of a fault condition. If the condition persists, the
pass transistor turns off when TMR reaches the threshold
of 1.375V. A 2µA current source then continues to pull
the TMR up. When TMR reaches 4.3V, the 2µA current
reverses direction and starts to pull the TMR pin low.
When TMR reaches the retry threshold of 0.5V, the GATE
pin pulls high turning back on the pass transistor for the
LT4363-2 version. The GATE pin latches low after fault
time out for the LT4363-1.
UV: Undervoltage Comparator Input. When UV falls below
its threshold of 1.275V, the GATE is pulled down with a
1mA current. When UV rises above 1.275V plus the hysteresis, the pull down current disappears and the GATE
pin is pulled up by the internal charge pump. If unused,
connect to VCC.
VCC: Positive Supply Voltage Input. The positive supply
input ranges from 4V to 80V for normal operation. It can
also be pulled below ground by up to 60V during a reverse
battery condition, without damaging the part. Shutting
down the LT4363 by pulling the SHDN pin to ground will
reduce the supply current to 7µA.

LT4363
OPERATION
Some power systems must cope with high voltage surges
of short duration such as those in vehicles. Load circuitry
must be protected from these transients, yet high availability
systems must continue operating during these events.
sufficient time for TMR to discharge to 0.5V and for the
MOSFET to cool before attempting to reset the part. To
reset, pull the SHDN pin low for at least 100µs, then pull
high with a slew rate of at least 10V/ms.
The LT4363 is an overvoltage protection regulator that
drives an external N-channel MOSFET as the pass transistor. It operates from a wide supply voltage range of 4V to
80V. It can also be pulled below ground potential by up
to 60V without damage. The low power supply requirement of 4V allows it to operate even during cold cranking
conditions in automotive applications. The internal charge
pump turns on the N-channel MOSFET to supply current
to the loads with very little power loss. Two MOSFETs can
be connected back to back to replace an inline Schottky
diode for reverse input protection. This improves the efficiency and increases the available supply voltage level
to the load circuitry during cold crank.
The fault timer allows the load to continue functioning
during short transient events while protecting the MOSFET
from being damaged by a long period of supply overvoltage,
such as a load dump in vehicles. The timer period varies
with the voltage across the MOSFET. A higher voltage corresponds to a shorter fault timer period, helping to keep
the MOSFET within its safe operating area (SOA).
Normally, the pass transistor is fully on, powering the loads
with very little voltage drop. When the supply voltage surges
too high, the voltage amplifier (VA) controls the gate of the
MOSFET and regulates the voltage at the OUT pin to a level
that is set by the external resistive divider from the OUT
pin to ground and the internal 1.275V reference. A current
source starts charging up the capacitor connected at the
TMR pin to ground. If the TMR voltage reaches 1.275V,
the FLT pin pulls low to indicate impending turn-off due
to the overvoltage condition. The pass transistor stays on
until TMR reaches 1.375V, at which point the GATE pin
pulls low turning off the MOSFET.
The LT4363 senses an overcurrent condition by monitoring the voltage across an optional sense resistor placed
between the SNS and OUT pins. An active current limit
circuit (IA) controls the GATE pin to limit the sense voltage to 50mV, if the OUT pin potential is above 2V. In the
case of a severe output short that brings OUT below 2V,
the servo sense voltage is reduced to 25mV to reduce
the stress on the pass transistor. During current limit, the
current charging the TMR capacitor is about 5 times the
current during an overvoltage event. The FLT pin pulls low
when the TMR voltage reaches 1.275V and the MOSFET
is turned off when it reaches 1.375V. The MOSFET turns
back on and the FLT pin returns to a high impedance state
after TMR has reached the 0.5V threshold for the LT4363‑2
version. For the latch-off version, LT4363-1, both the GATE
and FLT pins remain low even after TMR has reached
the 0.5V threshold. Reset the part in the same way as in
overvoltage time-out case.
A current continues to pull the TMR pin up until it reaches
about 4.3V, at which point the current reverses direction
and pulls the TMR pin down. For the LT4363-2 version,
when the voltage at the TMR pin reaches 0.5V the GATE
pin begins rising, turning on the MOSFET. The FLT pin will
then return to a high impedance state. For the latch-off
version, LT4363-1, both the GATE and FLT pins remain
low even after TMR has reached the 0.5V threshold. Allow
An accurate undervoltage comparator keeps the GATE
pin low until the voltage at the UV pin is above the
1.275V threshold. An overvoltage comparator prevents
the MOSFET from turning on after fault time-out while
the voltage at the OV pin is still above 1.275V for the
LT4363‑2. The SHDN pin turns off the pass transistor
and all the internal circuitry, reducing the supply current
to a mere 7µA.

LT4363
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The LT4363 limits the voltage and current delivered to the
load during supply transient or output overload events. The
total fault timer period is set to ride through short-duration
faults, while longer events cause the output to shut off
and protect the MOSFET pass device from damage. The
MOSFET provides a low resistance path from the input to
the load during normal operation, while in fault conditions
it operates as a series regulator.
Overvoltage Fault
The LT4363 limits the voltage at the output during an
overvoltage at the input. An internal amplifier regulates
the GATE pin to maintain 1.275V at the FB pin. During
this interval the MOSFET is on and supplies current to
the load. This allows uninterrupted operation during short
overvoltage events. If the overvoltage condition persists,
the timer causes the MOSFET to turn off.
Overcurrent Fault
The LT4363 features and adjustable current limit that protects against output short circuits or excessive load current.
During an overcurrent event, the GATE pin is regulated to
limit the current sense voltage across the SNS and OUT
pins to 50mV. In the case of a severe short at the output,
where OUT is less than 2V, the current sense voltage is
reduced to 25mV to further reduce power dissipation in
the MOSFET. If the overcurrent condition persists, the
timer causes the MOSFET to turn off.
Fault Timer Overview
Overvoltage and overcurrent conditions are limited in
duration by an adjustable timer. A capacitor at the TMR pin
sets the delay time before a fault condition is reported at
the FLT pin as well as the overall delay before the MOSFET
is turned off. The same capacitor also sets the cool down
time before the MOSFET is allowed to turn back on.
When either an overvoltage or overcurrent fault condition
occurs, a current source charges the TMR pin capacitor.
The exact current level varies as a function of the type of
fault and the VDS voltage drop across the MOSFET. This
scheme takes better advantage of the MOSFET’s available
Safe Operating Area (SOA) than would a fixed timer current.
The TMR pin is biased to 0.5V under normal operating
conditions. In the presence of a fault the timer first charges
to 1.275V, and then enters the early warning phase of
operation. At this point the FLT pin pulls low and after
charging to 1.375V, the timer shuts off the MOSFET. The
warning phase is indicated by FLT low and gives time for
the load to perform house-keeping chores such as data
storage in anticipation of impending power loss. After
faulting off, the timer enters the cool down phase. At the
end of the cool down period the LT4363-1 remains off until
reset, while the LT4363-2 automatically restarts. For the
LT4363-2 retry is inhibited if the OV pin is greater than
1.275V. This prevents motorboating in the event there is
a sustained input overvoltage condition.
Fault Timer Operation in Overvoltage
In the presence of an overvoltage condition when the
LT4363 regulates the output voltage, the timer charges
from 0.5V to 1.275V with a current that varies as a function of VDS (see Figure 1). VDS is inferred from the drop
across VCC and OUT. The timer current increases linearly
from around 4µA with VDS ≤ 0.5V, to 50µA with VDS = 75V.
Because VDS is measured indirectly, clamping or filtering
at the VCC pin affects the timer current response. A graph
of Overvoltage TMR Current vs (VCC – VOUT) is shown in
the Typical Performance Characteristics.
When TMR reaches 1.275V, the FLT pin is latched low as
an early warning of impending shutdown. The timer current is cut to a fixed value of 6µA and continues to run
until TMR reaches 1.375V, producing a fixed early warning
period given by:

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Fault Timer Operation in Overcurrent
TMR pin behavior in overcurrent is substantially the same
as in overvoltage. In the presence of an overcurrent condition when the LT4363 regulates the output current, the
timer charges from 0.5V to 1.275V with a current that
varies as a function of VDS (see Figure 2). The current is
about 5 times the value produced in overvoltage, under
similar conditions VDS, increasing linearly from 8µA with
VDS < 0.5V to 260µA with VDS = 80V. VDS is inferred from
the drop across VCC and OUT. Because VDS is measured
indirectly, clamping or filtering at the VCC pin affects the

At the end of the cool down phase the LT4363-1 remains
latched off and FLT remains low. It may be restarted by
pulling the SHDN pin low for at least 100µs or by cycling
power. The cool down phase may be interrupted at anytime by pulling SHDN low for at least 1s/µF of CTMR; the
LT4363-1 will restart when SHDN goes high.
The LT4363-2 will automatically retry at the end of the
cool down phase. Retry is inhibited if the OV pin is above
1.275V; this prevents repetitive retries while the input is
held in a sustained overvoltage condition. Retry is auto4363fa

matically initiated once the OV pin falls below 1.268V. OV
has no effect on initial start-up when power is first applied
and upon exiting shutdown. The cool down phase may
be interrupted in the LT4363-2 by pulling SHDN low for
at least 1s/µF of CTMR.
For both the LT4363-1 and LT4363-2 the FLT pin goes
high in shutdown and is cleared high when power is first
applied to VCC. If FLT is set low, it can be reset during the
cool down phase by pulling SHDN low for at least 1s/µF
of CTMR.
Intermittent Fault Conditions
Brief overvoltage or overcurrent conditions interrupt the
operation of the timer. If the TMR pin has not yet reached
1.275V when the input falls below the regulation value
or drops out of current limit, the timer capacitor is discharged back to 0.5V with a 2µA current sink. If the TMR
voltage crosses 1.275V FLT is set low. If the overvoltage
or overcurrent abates before reaching 1.375V, the timer
capacitor discharges with 2µA back to 0.5V, whereupon
FLT resets high. If several short overvoltage or overcurrent
events occur in rapid succession, the timer capacitor will
integrate the charging and discharging currents.
MOSFET Selection
The LT4363 drives an N-channel MOSFET to conduct the
load current. The important features of the MOSFET are
on-resistance RDS(ON), the maximum drain-source voltage
V(BR)DSS, the threshold voltage, and the SOA.
The maximum allowable drain-source voltage must be
higher than the supply voltage. If the output is shorted
to ground or during an overvoltage event, the full supply
voltage will appear across the MOSFET.
The gate drive for the MOSFET is guaranteed to be more
than 10V and less than 16V for those applications with VCC
higher than 9V. This allows the use of standard threshold
voltage N-channel MOSFETs. For systems with VCC less
than 9V, a logic level MOSFET is required since the gate
drive can be as low as 4.5V.
The SOA of the MOSFET must encompass all fault conditions. In normal operation the pass transistor is fully on,
dissipating very little power. But during either overvoltage
or overcurrent faults, the GATE pin is controlled to regulate either the output voltage or the current through the
MOSFET. Large current and high voltage drop across the
MOSFET can coexist in these cases. The SOA curves of
the MOSFET must be considered carefully along with the
selection of the fault timer capacitor.
Transient Stress in the MOSFET
During an overvoltage event, the LT4363 drives a series
pass MOSFET to regulate the output voltage at an acceptable
level. The load circuitry may continue operating throughout
this interval, but only at the expense of dissipation in the
MOSFET pass device. MOSFET dissipation or stress is a
function of the input voltage waveform, regulation voltage
and load current. The MOSFET must be sized to survive
this stress.
Most transient event specifications use the prototypical waveshape shown in Figure 3, comprising a linear
ramp of rise time tr, reaching a peak voltage of VPK and
exponentially decaying back to VIN with a time constant
of τ. A common automotive transient specification has
constants of tr = 10µs, VPK = 80V and τ = 1ms. A surge
condition known as load dump commonly has constants
of tr = 5ms, VPK = 60V and τ = 200ms.
MOSFET stress is the result of power dissipated within
the device. For long duration surges of 100ms or more,
stress is increasingly dominated by heat transfer; this is
a matter of device packaging and mounting, and heat sink
thermal mass. This is best analyzed by simulation, using
the MOSFET thermal model.
For short duration transients of less than 100ms, MOSFET
survival is increasingly a matter of safe operating area

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
(SOA), an intrinsic property of the MOSFET. SOA quantifies the time required at any given condition of VDS and
ID to raise the junction temperature of the MOSFET to its
rated maximum. MOSFET SOA is expressed in units of
watt-squared-seconds (P2t). This figure is essentially constant for intervals of less than 100ms for any given device
type, and rises to infinity under DC operating conditions.
Destruction mechanisms other than bulk die temperature
distort the lines of an accurately drawn SOA graph so that
P2t is not the same for all combinations of ID and VDS.
In particular P2t tends to degrade as VDS approaches the
maximum rating, rendering some devices useless for
absorbing energy above a certain voltage.
When a fast input voltage step occurs, the current through
the pass transistor to supply the load and charge up the output capacitor can be high enough to trigger an overcurrent
event. The gate pulls low to 1V above the OUT pin, turning
off the MOSFET momentarily. The internal charge pump
will then start to pull the GATE pin high and turn on the
MOSFET to support the load current and charge up the
OUT pin. The fault timer may not start yet because the
current level is below the overcurrent limit threshold and
the output voltage has not reached the servo voltage. This
extra stress needs to be included in calculating the overall
stress level of the MOSFET.

For the transient conditions of VPK = 80V, VIN = 12V,

of 3A, P2t is 18.4W2s – easily handled by a MOSFET in
a DPAK package. The P2t of other transient waveshapes
is evaluated by integrating the square of MOSFET power
over time. LTSpice can be used to simulate timer behavior
for more complex transients and cases where overvoltage
and overcurrent faults coexist.
Calculating Short-Circuit Stress
Calculating Transient Stress
To select a MOSFET suitable for any given application, the
SOA stress must be calculated for each input transient
which shall not interrupt operation. It is then a simple matter
to choose a device which has adequate SOA to survive the
maximum calculated stress. P2t for a prototypical transient
waveform is calculated as follows (Figure 4):

SOA stress must also be calculated for short-circuit conditions. Short-circuit P2t is given by:

Where ΔVDS is the voltage across the MOSFET, and ΔVSNS

For VIN = 15V, ΔVDS = 13V (VOUT = 2V), ΔVSNS = 50mV,
RSNS = 12mΩ and CTMR = 100nF, P2t is 6.3W2s – less
than the transient SOA calculated in the previous example.
Nevertheless, to account for circuit tolerances this figure
should be doubled to 12.6W2s.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Limiting Inrush Current and GATE Pin Compensation
The LT4363 limits the inrush current to any load capacitance
by controlling the GATE pin voltage slew rate. An external
capacitor can be connected from GATE to ground to reduce
the inrush current at the expense of slower turn-off time.
The gate capacitor is set at:

threshold during a fault. The pass transistor is not allowed
to turn back on even after the cool down period has finished.
This prevents the pass transistor from cycling between ON
and OFF states when the input voltage stays at an elevated
level for a long period of time, reducing the stress on the
N-channel MOSFET. For the latch-off version, LT4363-1,
the overvoltage comparator function is not available.
Reverse Input Protection
The LT4363 does not need extra compensation components at the GATE pin for stability during an overvoltage or
overcurrent event. With transient input voltage slew rates
faster than 5V/µs, a gate capacitor, C1, to ground is needed
to prevent self enhancement of the N-channel MOSFET.
A blocking diode is commonly employed to protect the
load when reverse input is possible, such as in automotive applications. 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 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.
The LT4363 is designed to withstand reverse voltage without damage to itself. The VCC, SHDN, UV, and OV pins can
withstand up to 60V of DC voltage below the GND potential.
Back-to-back MOSFETs must be used to block the current
path through Q1’s body diode (Figure 6). Figure 7 shows
the approach with a P-channel MOSFET in place of Q2.

Undervoltage/Overvoltage Comparators
The LT4363 has both undervoltage and overvoltage comparators that can be used to sense the input supply voltage. When the voltage at the UV pin is below the 1.275V
threshold, the GATE pin is held low to keep the external
MOSFET off. The supply voltage at the VCC pin should be
at least 4V for the UV comparator to function.

Reverse Input Protection
Shutdown
The LT4363 can be shut down to a low current mode when
the voltage at the SHDN pin is pulled below the shutdown
threshold of 0.4V. The quiescent current drops down to
7µA with internal circuitry turned off.
The SHDN pin can be pulled up to 100V or below GND by
up to 60V without damage. Leaving the pin open allows
an internal current source to pull it up and turn on the part
while clamping the pin to 2.2V. The leakage current at the
pin should be limited to no more than 1µA if no pull up
device is used to help turn it on.
Supply Transient Protection
The LT4363 is tested to operate to 80V and guaranteed to
be safe from damage up to 100V. Nevertheless, voltage
transients above 100V may cause permanent damage.
During a short-circuit condition, the large change in current flowing through power supply traces and associated
wiring can cause inductive voltage transients which could
exceed 100V. To minimize the voltage transients, the power
trace parasitic inductance should be minimized by using
wide traces. A small RC filter, in Figure 8, at the VCC pin
will clamp the voltage spikes.

Figure 8. Overvoltage Regulator with Input Voltage Detection
Another way to limit transients above 100V at the VCC
pin is to use a Zener diode and a resistor, D1 and R7 in
Figure 8. The Zener diode limits the voltage at the pin
while the resistor limits the current through the diode to
a safe level during the surge. However, D1 can be omitted
if the filtered voltage, due to R7 and C1, at the VCC pin
is below 100V. The inclusion of R7 in series with the VCC
pin will increase the minimum required voltage at VIN due
to the extra voltage drop across it. This voltage drop is
due to the supply current of the LT4363 and the leakage
current of D1.
A total bulk capacitance of at least 22µF low ESR electrolytic is required close to the source pin of MOSFET Q1. In
addition, the bulk capacitance should be at least 10 times
larger than the total ceramic bypassing capacitor on the
input of the DC/DC converter.
Layout Considerations
To achieve accurate current sensing, Kelvin connection
to the current sense resistor (RSNS in Figure 8) is recommended. The minimum trace width for 1 oz copper foil is
0.02" per amp to ensure the trace stays at a reasonable
temperature. 0.03" per amp or wider is recommended.
Note that 1oz copper exhibits a sheet resistance of about
530µΩ/square. Small resistances can cause large errors in

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
high current applications. Noise immunity will be improved
significantly by locating resistive dividers close to the pins
with short VCC and GND traces.
Design Example
As a design example, take an application with the following specifications: VCC = 8V to 14V DC with a transient of
150V and decay time constant (τ) of 400ms, VOUT ≤ 27V,
current limit (ILIM) at 5A, low battery detection of 6V, input
overvoltage level at 60V, and 1ms of overvoltage early
warning (Figure 8).
Selection of SMAJ58A for D1 will limit the voltage at the
VCC pin to less than 71V during 150V surge. The minimum
required voltage at the VCC pin is 4V when VIN is at 8V;
the supply current for LT4363 is 1.5mA. The maximum
value for R7 to ensure proper operation is:
R7 =
8V – 4V
= 2.67kΩ
1.5mA
Select 1kΩ for R7 to accommodate all conditions.
The maximum current through R7 into D1 is then calculated as:
ID1 =
150V – 64V
= 86mA
1kΩ
Choose 4.99kΩ for R2.
R1=
(27V – 1.275V ) • R2 = 100.7kΩ
1.275V
The nearest standard value for R1 is 100kΩ.
Next calculate the sense resistor, RSNS, value:
RSNS =
50mV 50mV
=
= 10mΩ
ILIM
5A
CTMR is then chosen for 1ms of early warning time:
CTMR =
1ms • 6µA
= 60nF
100mV
The nearest standard value for CTMR is 47nF.
Finally, calculate R4, R5, and R6 for 6V low battery detection and 60V input overvoltage level:
6V •
R5 + R6
= 1.275V
R4 + R5 + R6
60V •
R6
= 1.275V
R4 + R5 + R6
Choose 10kΩ for R6.
60V • 10kΩ
– 10kΩ = 460.6kΩ
1.275V
which is easily handled by the SMAJ58A for more than
500ms.
R4 + R5 =
With 0.1µF of bypass capacitance, C1, along with 1k of
R7, high voltage transients up to 200V with a pulse width
less than 10µs are filtered out at the VCC pin.
R5 = 1.275V •
Next, calculate the resistive divider value to limit VOUT to
27V during an overvoltage event:
1.275V • (R1+ R2)
VREG =
= 27V
R2
Set the current through R1 and R2 during the overvoltage
condition to 250µA.
R2 =
460.6kΩ + 10kΩ
– 10kΩ = 90kΩ
6V
R4 = 460.6kΩ – 90kΩ = 370.6kΩ
Select 90.9kΩ for R5 and 374kΩ for R4.
The pass transistor, Q1, should be chosen to withstand a
short-circuit with VCC = 14V. In the case of a severe output
short where VOUT = 0V, the total overcurrent fault time is:
tOC =
47nF • 0.875V
= 0.904ms
45.5µA
1.275V
= 5kΩ

The power dissipation in Q1 is:
14V • 25mV

P=
During an output overload or soft short, the voltage at the
OUT pin could stay at 2V or higher. The total overcurrent
fault time when VOUT = 2V is:
tOC =
(14V – 2V ) • 50mV = 60W
10mΩ
These conditions are well within the Safe Operating Area
of the FDB33N25.
