DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit DC1555A is intended to demonstrate
the performance of the LTC4365 High Voltage Undervoltage
(UV), Overvoltage (OV) and Reverse Supply Protection
Controller.
The LTC4365 protects circuits from input voltages that may
be too high, too low or negative. It operates by controlling
the gates of two back-to-back connected MOSFETs to keep
the output in a safe range. The OV and UV protection levels
are adjusted by resistive dividers at the OV and UV pins.
Asserting the shutdown pin disables the MOSFETs and
places the LTC4365 in a low-current shutdown state. The
FAULT pin is asserted when the Controller is in shutdown

mode or when the input voltage is outside of the UV or
OV level.
The LTC4365 can withstand DC voltages between –40V
and 60V and has a valid operating range of 2.5V to 34V.
The DC1555A includes the LTC4365 Controller, two back-
to-back connected power MOSFETs, three jumpers and
three LEDs to indicate the input and output voltages and
the FAULT pin signal.
