Product details
Overview
LTC1153IS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an auto-reset electronic circuit breaker IC that drives external N-channel MOSFETs to protect sensitive loads from over-current, thermal, and short-circuit faults. It features programmable trip current (1mA–>20A), trip delay (15µs–>100ms), and auto-reset time (1ms–>10s), operates from 4.5V–18V, and delivers 8µA standby quiescent current. It is used in SCSI termination power, battery short-circuit protection, and DC motor stall protection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC1153IS8#PBF datasheet, LTC1153IS8#PBF pinout, LTC1153IS8#PBF application, or LTC1153IS8#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, SOIC-8 package details, gate drive timing characteristics, drain-sense threshold accuracy (100mV ±20mV), and real-world implementation guidance for resistive, inductive, capacitive, and lamp loads.
Technical Context
The LTC1153IS8#PBF integrates a charge-pump-based gate driver capable of generating VGATE up to VS + 25V (at VS = 12V), enabling robust turn-on of low-RDS(ON) N-MOSFETs without external capacitors. Its analog comparator continuously monitors VDS via a precision 100mV reference, with built-in 10µs minimum trip delay to suppress false triggering from transients.
Auto-reset is implemented using an external timing capacitor (CT) charged at 4.2µA; when CT reaches ~2.5V, the latch resets and gate drive resumes. The shutdown input interfaces directly with PTC thermistors for thermal fault detection, while the open-drain STATUS output reports tripped state to µP systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 18V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive bus rails without external regulation. |
| Drain Sense Threshold | 100mV ±20mV - sets trip current via external RSEN; enables accurate 1mA–20A range with <1% sense resistor tolerance. |
| Standby Quiescent Current | 8µA at VS = 5V - enables always-on protection in battery-powered systems with minimal leakage impact. |
| Gate Drive Voltage Above Supply | Up to VS + 25V at VS = 12V - ensures full enhancement of logic-level and standard N-MOSFETs with margin. |
| Minimum Trip Delay | 5µs - fast response to hard shorts while suppressing supply/load transients via internal filtering. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar electronic circuit breaker applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2559DRCT | Fixed 1.5A trip current; no programmable delay or auto-reset; integrated MOSFET; 2.7V–6.5V supply. | Suitable only for low-voltage, fixed-current USB/5V rail protection-not for wide-range industrial use. | Select when simplicity and integration outweigh programmability needs and supply stays ≤6.5V. |
| MAX16054ATA+ | Programmable trip current (50mA–5A); no thermal shutdown input; 2.7V–5.5V supply; no charge pump. | Limited to low-voltage logic rails; cannot drive high-threshold MOSFETs without external level shift. | Choose for compact 3.3V/5V systems requiring basic programmability but not high-side gate boosting or thermal sensing. |

FAQ
What is the maximum gate drive voltage capability of the LTC1153IS8#PBF?
The LTC1153IS8#PBF generates a gate drive voltage up to VS + 25V when VS = 12V, enabling full enhancement of standard-threshold N-channel MOSFETs without external level-shifting circuitry. This capability is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VGATE – VS" parameter and applies across the full operating temperature range. The LTC1153IS8#PBF achieves this using an on-chip adaptive charge pump, eliminating need for external flying capacitors.
How does the LTC1153IS8#PBF implement thermal protection?
The LTC1153IS8#PBF implements thermal protection via its dedicated SHUTDOWN pin, which accepts direct connection to a PTC thermistor mounted on the MOSFET heatsink or load. When the PTC resistance rises sharply at its trip temperature (e.g., 70°C or 100°C), the SHUTDOWN input crosses its 2.0V threshold and forces immediate gate discharge. This function operates independently of over-current detection and is documented in the Applications Information section and Figure TA03–TA04 schematics. The LTC1153IS8#PBF remains latched off until SHUTDOWN returns low.
Can the LTC1153IS8#PBF be used with P-channel MOSFETs?
No, the LTC1153IS8#PBF is designed exclusively for driving N-channel MOSFETs in high-side configuration. Its DS pin compares voltage relative to VS (not GND), and its gate driver architecture sources current above VS to enhance N-MOSFETs. Driving P-channel devices would require inversion of sense polarity and sinking gate drive below VS-neither supported by the LTC1153IS8#PBF's internal topology. Application notes TA01–TA15 exclusively show N-MOSFET implementations.
What is the minimum trip delay achievable with the LTC1153IS8#PBF?
The minimum trip delay of the LTC1153IS8#PBF is 5µs, measured from over-current onset to gate discharge initiation, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "tTD Minimum Trip Delay" at VS = 5V and VS = 12V. This value includes internal comparator propagation and latch response time and is independent of external RC networks. The LTC1153IS8#PBF achieves this speed while maintaining immunity to sub-microsecond supply transients via built-in filtering.
Does the LTC1153IS8#PBF require external components for basic operation?
Yes-the LTC1153IS8#PBF requires at minimum: (1) an external N-channel MOSFET, (2) a drain-sense resistor (RSEN) to set trip current, (3) a timing capacitor (CT) to configure auto-reset period, and (4) a pull-up resistor on STATUS for µP interfacing. Unlike integrated load switches, it does not embed the power FET. However, it eliminates external charge pump capacitors and provides internal voltage regulation, reducing total external part count to just four passive components for functional operation. All examples in the datasheet (e.g., TA01, TA02) confirm this minimal BOM requirement.
