Description
Demonstration circuit DC1555C is intended to demon-
strate the performance of the LTC4365 and LTC4365-1
Undervoltage, Overvoltage and Reverse Supply Protection
Controllers.
The
LTC
4365/LTC4365-1
®
ages 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 SHDN pin disables the
MOSFETs and places the controller in a low-current shut-
down 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 and LTC4365-1 can withstand DC voltages
between –40V and +60V and have a valid operating range
of 2.5V to 34V.

DEMO MANUAL DC1555C
LTC4365/LTC4365-1:
Regarding the supply protection parameters, the LTC4365
and LTC4365-1 are identical. The only differences are
in the gate fault recovery delay time and the delay from
turn-off to low-power operation. These delays are 36ms
(typ, both) for the LTC4365, while they are 1ms and 0.7ms
respectively for the LTC4365-1.
The DC1555C includes the 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.
