APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The typical LTC4361 application protects 2.5V to 5.5V
systems in portable devices from power supply overvolt-
age. The basic application circuit is shown in Figure 1.
Device operation and external component selection is
discussed in detail in the following sections.
Start-Up
When V
2.1V, the GATE driver is held low and the PWRGD pull-down
is high impedance. When V
held low, a 130ms delay cycle starts. Any undervoltage or
overvoltage event at IN (V
the delay cycle. This delay allows the N-channel MOSFET
to isolate the output from any input transients that occur
at start-up. When the delay cycle completes, GATE starts
its slow ramp-up.
GATE Control
An internal charge pump enhances the external N-channel
MOSFET with 6V from GATE to OUT. This allows the use
of logic-level N-channel MOSFETs. An internal 6V clamp
between GATE and OUT protects the MOSFET gate.

The GATE ramp rate is limited to 3V/ms. V
a similar rate which results in an inrush current into the
load capacitor C
The servo loop is compensated by the parasitic capaci-
tance of the external MOSFET. No further compensation
components are normally required. In the case where
the parasitic capacitance is less than 100pF , a 100pF
compensation capacitor between GATE and ground may
be required.
An even slower GATE ramp and lower inrush current
can be achieved by connecting an external capacitor, C
from GATE to ground. The voltage at GATE then ramps
up with a slope equal to 10μA/C
the formula:
Overvoltage
When power is fi rst applied, V

voltage condition, the MOSFET is held off until V
again remains below 5.7V for 130ms.
Overcurrent
The overcurrent comparator protects the MOSFET from
excessive current. It trips when the SENSE pin falls more
than 50mV below IN for more than 10μs. When the overcur-
rent comparator trips, GATE is pulled low quickly and the
PWRGD pull-down releases. The LTC4361-2 automatically
tries to apply power again after a 130ms start-up delay.
