LTC4368CDD-2#PBF

Surge suppression ICs are semiconductor devices that are designed to protect electronic equipment from surges caused by lightning and other potentially damaging sources. The LTC4368CDD-2#PBF is a high-performance surge suppression IC from Linear Technology which offers advanced protection for sensitive equipment. This IC is ideal for use in applications that require a low component count, reliable protection and easy customization.

The LTC4368CDD-2#PBF IC has an integrated IEC 60950-1-compliant EFT surge protection circuit and can protect against most common lightning surges without the need for a surge arrestor or gas discharge tube. It features a wide input voltage range of 4V to 32V and is capable of handling up to 200V continuous peak current. It also offers a wide adjustable surge response time range of 150ns to 500ns, making it ideal for a variety of applications.

The working principle of the LTC4368CDD-2#PBF IC is based on the series mode of operation. When an overvoltage or surge event occurs, the IC senses the voltage and sends the corresponding signal to the gate of a MOSFET switch. This MOSFET switch then turns off, disconnecting the power line from the protected equipment and providing surge protection.
