LTC4217IFE Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The LTC4217IFE is a surge suppression integrated circuit from LT, designed for robust circuit protection.

 

This IC features a nominal current limit of 2A, adjustable via the ISET pin. It includes a current monitor output (IMON) that provides a voltage proportional to the internal MOSFET switch current, with a ratio of 1:20000. This allows for precise monitoring of current flow. The device operates with an internal 3.1V supply, requiring a 1µF bypass capacitor for stable operation.

 

Key electrical features include an overvoltage threshold of 1.235V and a power good threshold of 1.21V. The FB pin monitors input voltage and can trigger a foldback current limit if it drops below 0.6V. The GATE pin controls the internal N-channel MOSFET, with specific current sources for start-up, under/over voltage conditions, and short-circuit events.

 

The LTC4217IFE is supplied in a DHC package. Its surge suppression capabilities make it suitable for applications requiring protection against voltage transients and overcurrent events.

LTC4217IFE FAQs

6 frequently asked questions generated from this part’s specifications.
What is the maximum current limit for the LTC4217IFE?

The device supports a nominal current limit of 2A, which can be adjusted using an external resistor on the ISET pin.

How does the current monitor function on this controller?

The IMON pin sources a current equal to 1/20000th of the internal MOSFET switch current, creating a 0V to 2V swing with a 20k resistor to ground.

What happens during a short circuit condition?

A 140mA pull-down current source activates between the GATE and OUT pins to rapidly turn off the MOSFET.

What is the gate drive ramp rate during startup?

The GATE pin ramps up at a controlled rate of 0.3V/ms determined by internal circuitry.

How is the power good status indicated?

The open-drain PG pin releases to go high when the FB pin rises above 1.23V and the GATE to OUT voltage exceeds 4.2V.

What package type is used for the LTC4217IFE?

The component is available in a DHC package case.
