LTC4380CMS-4PBF Datasheet - Linear Technology

Description
The LTC®4380 low quiescent current surge stopper protects loads from high voltage transients. Overvoltage protection is provided by clamping the gate voltage of an external N-channel MOSFET to limit the output voltage to a safe value during overvoltage events such as load dump in automobiles. Fixed gate clamp voltages are selectable for 12V and24V/28V systems. For systems of any voltage up to72V, use the adjustable gate clamp versions. Overcurrent protection is also provided.
