DEMO MANUAL DC1018B-B
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Board Layout
DC1018B-B is a 4-layer board. There are planes for input,
output, drain and ground; these are replicated on each layer.
The spare amplifier is kept active during shutdown in the
LT4356CDE-2, resulting in a supply current of about 50µA.
The 93 mil input and output connection turrets are not
swaged and may be removed for attachment of up to 12
gauge wire. Banana jacks facilitate bench testing.
Sufficient copper is available to support applications of
at least 20A.
LEDs are included as quick debug indicators. These LEDs
show:
LED1 12V input

LED3 12V output Green

At higher currents the clamp DCL must be proportionately
increased. This catches the locally generated spike at the
MOSFET drain when the output goes into regulation. The
energy content of this spike is a direct function of input
slew rate and output load capacitance.
Changing Output Regulation Level
The output limiting or regulation voltage is easily modified
by simply changing R1 and R2 to values appropriate for
the application. The FB pin servo voltage is 1.25V. See the
data sheet for a full description of this pin and equations.
As built, the demo board clamps at 16V.
The actual operating voltage is independent of the clamping volt-age, and may be anything from the minimum
operating voltage of 4V up to the clamping voltage. Thus
while the demo board is labeled “12V”, it can operate with
any other sub-16V input such as a 5V regulated supply, a
6V gelcell, or a stack of 8 NiMH cells, or a 9V impedance
limited wall cube, to name but a few possible inputs.
The enable and fault LEDs are both powered in such a
way that the signals present on their associated turrets
are limited in voltage (see schematic). To this end a simple
series regulator (Q2 and D6) has been included on the
demo board for powering the FLT# output; the FLT# pin
itself is rated to 80V.
Supply Current
R8 is an optional pull-up resistor for the SHDN# pin.
Note that above 16V, D4 will draw current. Below 16V
leakage in D4, Q2’s collector-base junction in series with
D6 and Q1 will add to the LT4356-2’s supply current.
These effects are insignificant at room temperature.
Modifying Current Limit
DC1018B-B is designed for 3.5A maximum load current
and may be modified for higher or lower current levels.
Sense resistor RSNS1-3 pads are designed for 1206 or
2010 sense resistors. The LT4356-2 current sense voltage
is 50mV, with limiting occurring at 50mV/RSNS. Optional
footprints for D2-pak or S-8 MOSFETs allow for much
higher or lower current levels. Sufficient copper is present
to handle in excess of 20A. If the S-8 footprint is used,
move R3 (10 ohms) to the bottom of the board, R3B. This
is the gate resistor for the S-8 MOSFET.
The low shutdown current of the LT4356-2 is impossible
to measure on the demo board because of the presence
of the input LED, LED1, and the LED Supply. Remove R10
and R17 to eliminate these paths.
Small Turrets
No connection to any of the small turrets is necessary
to make the board operate—the LT4356-2 defaults to the
ON state.
SHDN# is pulled high internally. If this turret is left open,
the board will turn on when power is applied. Short this
turret to ground to turn off the LT4356-2.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
FLT# pulls low after a TMR interval if there is a sustained
input overvoltage, and does so 2ms before the output
shuts down. Otherwise FLT# is high, pulled up by LED4
and the 5V LED Supply.
during load dump, so a larger MOSFET is necessary if
Q1 is to survive. CTMR must be increased to accommodate the proposed time interval if this modification is
contemplated.
EN is an output. It goes high when the 12V output rises to
within 700mV of the input. EN is latched and does not pull
low again until the LT4356-2 trips off from a sustained
overvoltage or is shut down. EN is pulled up to the output
through a 3.9kilo-ohm resistor, and is shunted by LED5.
Use EN to enable downstream circuitry.
Locally Generated Drain Spikes
Input Overvoltages and Bench Testing
The LT4356-2 is designed to block transient voltages
and surges from reaching load circuitry of limited voltage capability. This has a profound impact on the voltage
rating of downstream components as well as topology
where dc-to-dc converters are concerned, not to mention
elimination of bulky input filter inductors and capacitors.
To this end, Q1 is selected for a 3A application where the
surges and transients are consistent with an automotive
environment.
Sustained dc overvoltage conditions are not part of the
automotive environment, and in the standard circuit configuration, Q1 would likely overheat from continuous
autoretry if, for example, 60Vdc was applied to the input.
Yet a 60Vdc input is a likely event during initial bench
testing.
An Overvoltage Lockout circuit has been included on
the demo board to prevent MOSFET destruction during
bench testing. This operates by pulling up on the TMR pin
and preventing autoretry when the input voltage exceeds
approximately 18V.
If the board is only subjected to surges and transients,
the Overvoltage Lockout circuit is unnecessary and in fact
plays a nuisance-to-nothing role. Remove R16 to defeat
the Overvoltage Lockout circuit function.
DC1018B-B is designed to ride through input transients of
1 or 2ms duration, but will shut down during load dump.
Q1 must dissipate significant energy to support a 3A load
When an input transient waveform is applied to an operating LT4356-2, the MOSFET is fully on and a large magnitude displacement current flows into the load capacitors,
CL1 and CL2 (collectively, CL) and any other off-board
load capacitors. The LT4356-2 has a relatively soft current limit amplifier to prevent detection of current pulses
generated by noise spikes. This soft response prevents
the LT4356-2 from responding to the initial current surge
in CL.
The current surge is limited only by the feedpoint impedance of the supply, the transient rising slew rate and the
capacitance and ESR of CL. The current surge is commutated by the MOSFET once CL charges to VgateVthreshold, and results in a wide-bandwidth voltage spike
at the input, limited only by the breakdown of input clamp
DCL. Without DCL the input voltage could easily exceed
100V and destroy the LT4356-2.
Under normal conditions (typical automotive transients
and surges) the input rise time is 10µs or more, and the
CL displacement current is moderate. Drain spikes are
thereby limited in amplitude.
When bench testing, input rise times may easily reach
100ns creating an environment for destructive drain
spikes, generated by the MOSFET itself.
To protect the LT4356-2 from damage during bench testing with fast-rising input edges, an SMAJ58A TransZorb
has been chosen for diode clamp DCL. This component
clamps the drain spike to less than 100V. The knee is
around 64V. If a dc voltage higher than 60V is connected
to DC1018B-B, DCL will be destroyed. Transients to 80V
are permissible as the current in DCL will be limited by
wiring inductance. Further, the energy is limited because
the time spent in conduction by DCL is short.

DEMO MANUAL DC1018B-B
QUICK START PROCEDURE
Basic Operation
Connect a 12V supply to input, and the load to output.
The circuit will turn on automatically when power is applied.
To test the voltage limiter, apply a transient to the 12V
Input. One method of coupling a transient without backfeeding the 12V supply is shown in the Connection
Diagram, attached. If the input transient is short the
output simply limits at 16V and then recovers to 12V.
If the transient is sustained, the output will rise to 16V,
regulate there and then shut down. The exact timing and
the dividing line between “short” and “sustained” is a
function of the input waveform amplitude and shape (see
the data sheet). Once the input voltage falls below the
Overvoltage Lockout level, autoretry is initiated after a
cooldown period of 42.5ms. The timing intervals are controlled by CTMR and the TMR pin according to equations
in the data sheet.
