The maximum load current that trips the circuit breaker is
given in Equation 12.

For example:
If a sense resistor with 7mΩ ±5% R

For proper operation and to avoid the circuit breaker

can be connected in parallel to yield an R
that fits the circuit requirements.
POWER MOSFET SELECTION CRITERIA
To start the power MOSFET selection process, choose the
maximum drain-to-source voltage, V
maximum drain current, I
V
voltage (including surges, spikes, ringing, etc.) and the
I
current in the system during a fault condition. In addition,
consider three other key parameters: 1) the required gate-
source (V

for logic-level MOSFETs ranges from ±8V to ±20V de-
pending upon the manufacturer and the specific part
number. The LTC4211’s GATE overdrive as a function of
V
level and sub-logic-level MOSFETs are recommended for
low supply voltage applications and standard MOSFETs
can be used for applications where supply voltage is
greater than 4.75V.
Note that in some applications, the gate of the external
MOSFET can discharge faster than the output voltage
when the circuit breaker is tripped. This causes a negative

external MOSFET should have a ±V
higher than the operating input supply voltage to ensure
that the external MOSFET is not destroyed by a negative
