LTC4364IMS-1#PBF

Overview

The LTC4364IMS-1#PBF is a board-mount surge stopper integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. It features an adjustable voltage clamp and operates with an external switch topology. The device supports a wide operating voltage range of 4V to 80V. It is housed in a 16-MSOP surface-mount package, specifically identified as a 16-TFSOP with a width of 3.00mm. This component is designed for overvoltage and surge protection applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates surge stopping functionality with ideal diode capabilities
• Features an externally controllable switch for precise power path management
• Provides adjustable voltage clamping to protect downstream circuits from transients

Applications

• Automotive electronics systems
• Avionics power distribution networks
• Industrial control equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix designation to ensure compatibility with required thermal and mechanical specifications. Confirm that the 16-MSOP package dimensions align with the target PCB footprint. Cross-reference the datasheet for the -1 variant to validate the internal threshold settings against system requirements before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring robust protection against high-voltage transients within the 4V to 80V input range. The adjustable clamp feature allows customization of protection levels. Ensure the external switch selection matches the current handling needs, as the IC controls rather than conducts the main load current directly.

Part Context

This part belongs to the LTC4364 series of surge stoppers. It shares functional similarities with other variants like the LTC4364HS-1#PBF but differs in package type and physical dimensions. The IMS-1 designation specifically denotes the MSOP packaging and the particular electrical characteristics defined for that sub-series within the broader product family.

Replacement Considerations

LTC4364HS-1#PBF serves as a package alternative offering similar surge protection functions in a SOIC-16 form factor.
