The LTC7860 high efficiency surge stopper protects loads from high voltage transients. High efficiency permits higher currents and smaller solution sizes. During an input overvoltage event, such as a load dump in vehicles, the LTC7860 controls the gate of an external MOSFET to act as a switching DC/DC regulator (PROTECTIVE PWM mode). This operation regulates the output voltage to a safe level, allowing the loads to operate through the input over-voltage event. During normal operation (SWITCH-ON mode), the LTC7860 turns on the external MOSFET continuously, passing the input voltage through to the output. An internal comparator limits the voltage across the current sense resistor and regulates the maximum output current to protect against overcurrent faults.

An adjustable timer limits the time that the LTC7860 can spend in overvoltage or overcurrent regulation. When the timer expires, the external MOSFET is turned off until the LTC7860 restarts after a cool down period. By strictly limiting the time in PROTECTIVE PWM Mode when the power loss is high, the components and thermal design can be optimized for normal operation and safely operate through high voltage input surges and/or overcurrent faults. An additional PMOS can be added for reverse battery protection.

Evaluation Kits

eval board
DC2239A

LTC7860EMSE Demo Board | Switching Surge Stopper, 3.5V ≤ VIN ≤ 60V; 3.5V ≤ VOUT ≤ 17.5V @ 5A

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 2239A is a High Efficiency Switching Surge Stopper and EMI Filter featuring the LTC7860. The board operates from an input range of 3.5V to 60V, provides a 3.5V to 17.2V output at 0A to 5A and is output current limited. A soft-start feature controls output voltage slew rate at start-up, reducing current surge and voltage overshoot. The demonstration board has options for smaller MOSFET and diode packages on the back of the board for lower output current requirements.
