This slide shows a comparison of the LTC7860 to the LT4363, LT4356, and LTC4366 linear surge stoppers. The LTC7860 can clamp a high voltage surge for a longer period of time due to it being a higher efficiency switching surge stopper that reduces the power dissipation. In addition, the LTC7860 has a built-in EMI filter under normal operation, that is useful in many applications, whereas the linear surge stoppers do not have a built-in EMI filter. The linear surge stoppers use an external N-channel whereas the LTC7860 uses an external P-channel MOSFET. The LTC7860 operates up to a 60V, 65V absolute maximum surge and higher with an external clamp. The LT4363 and LT4356 operate up to an 80V, 100V absolute maximum surge and higher with an external clamp. The LTC4366 is on a floating ground and can operate to an unlimited surge voltage.
