LT4356MP-1/LT4356MP-2 PIN FUNCTIONSAOUT (SO Package Only): Amplifier Output. Open collector OUT: Output Voltage Sense Input. This pin senses the output of the auxiliary amplifier. It is capable of sinking voltage at the source of the N-channel MOSFET and sets up to 2mA from 80V. The negative input of the amplifier the fault timer current. When the OUT pin voltage reaches is internally connected to a 1.25V reference. 0.7V away from VCC, the EN pin goes high impedance. EN: Open-Collector Enable Output. The EN pin goes high SHDN: Shutdown Control Input. The LT4356 can be shut impedance when the voltage at the OUT pin is above (VCC down to a low current mode by pulling the SHDN pin – 0.7V), indicating the external MOSFET is fully on. The below 0.4V.

The SHDN pin can be pulled up to 100V or FB: Voltage Regulator Feedback Input. Connect this pin below GND by 60V without damage. In shutdown, the to the center tap of the output resistive divider connected auxiliary amplifier turns off in the LT4356-1 but continues between the OUT pin and ground.
