PIN FUNCTIONS
Exposed Pad: Exposed pad may be left open or connected
to device ground.
FB: Foldback and Power Good Comparator Input. Connect
this pin to an external resistive divider from SOURCE for
the LTC4218 (adjustable version). The LTC4218-12 version
uses a fi xed internal divider with optional external adjust-
ment. Open the pin if the LTC4218-12 thresholds for 12V
operation are desired. If the voltage falls below 0.6V, the
output power is considered bad and the current limit is
reduced. If the voltage falls below 1.21V the PG pin will
pull low to indicate the power is bad.
FLT: Overcurrent Fault Indicator. Open drain output pulls
low when an overcurrent fault has occurred and the circuit
breaker trips. For overcurrent auto-retry tie to UV pin (see
Applications Information for details).
GATE: Gate Drive for External N-Channel FET. An internal
24μA current source charges the gate of the external
N-channel MOSFET. A resistor and capacitor network
from this pin to ground sets the turn-on rate. During an
undervoltage or overvoltage generated turn-off a 250μA
pull-down current turns the MOSFET off. During a short
circuit or undervoltage lockout, a 170mA pull-down current
source between GATE and SOURCE is activated.
GND: Device Ground.

from 0mV to 15mV.

threshold, open this pin. This pin is driven by a 20k resis-
tor in series with a voltage source. The pin voltage is used
to generate the current limit threshold. The internal 20k
resistor and an external resistor between I
create an attenuator that lowers the current limit value.

OV: Overvoltage Comparator Input. Connect this pin to
an external resistive divider from V
(adjustable version). The LTC4218-12 version uses a fi xed
internal divider with optional external adjustment for 12V
operation. Open the pin if the LTC4218-12 thresholds are
desired. If the voltage at this pin rises above 1.235V, an
overvoltage is detected and the switch turns off. Tie to
GND if unused.
PG: Power Good Indicator. Open drain output pulls low
when the FB pin drops below 1.21V indicating the power
is bad.
SENSE
the opposite of V
rent limit circuit controls the GATE pin to limit the sense
voltage between the SENSE

SOURCE: N-Channel MOSFET Source Connection. Connect
this pin to the source of the external N-channel MOSFET
switch. This pin provides a return for the gate pull-down
circuit. In the LTC4218-12 version, the power good com-
parator monitors an internal resistive divider between the
SOURCE pin and GND.
TIMER: Timer Input. Connect a capacitor between this pin
and ground to set a 12ms/μF duration for current limit before
the switch is turned off. If the UV pin is toggled low while
the MOSFET switch is off, the switch will turn on again
following a cool down time of 518ms/μF duration.
UV: Undervoltage Comparator Input. Tie high if unused.
Connect this pin to an external resistive divider from V

1.15V, an undervoltage is detected and the switch turns
off. Pulling this pin below 0.62V resets the overcurrent
fault and allows the switch to turn back on (see Applica-
tions Information for details). If overcurrent auto-retry is
desired then tie this pin to the FLT pin.
