The over and undervoltage lockout circuits are shown here
working in tandem. It is possible to configure the circuit
for either over or undervoltage lockout by using only one
of the voltage paths and eliminating the components from
the other. Refer to Figure 7 for an LTC4416-1 configured
for overvotlage protection. If the input does not go below
ground, transistor Q1 can be eliminated.
The LTC4416-1 should be used in this configuration rather
than the LTC4416 because the LTC4416-1 will turn-off
rapidly if an over or undervoltage condition is detected.
Refer to Figure 8 for a comparison of the transient response
of the two ICs using the circuit configuration of Figure 6.
The LTC4416 will not turn-off quickly in an overvoltage
or undervoltage condition because the “fast-off” feature
is not enabled. This will cause the output to travel beyond
the desired range.

Figure 9 contains a rapidly changing input voltage on a
much smaller time scale in comparison to Figure 8. The
LTC4416 will require the tE(OFF) time prior to the rapid pull-
up current being applied. The gate voltage will be pulled
high with IG(OFF) which has a minimum current of 500µA.
The discharge time of the gate will be dependent on the
capacitance of the external FET and the initial gate-source
voltage of the circuit. The total time delay will equal:
