Product details
Overview
LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a bidirectional electronic circuit breaker and UV/OV/reverse supply protection controller for 2.5V–60V input systems. It controls back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs to isolate loads during faults, features ±50mV forward/reverse current sense thresholds (LTC4368-1 variant), 80µA operating current, and 32ms turn-on delay for AC blocking-used in automotive surge protection and energy storage systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF application, or LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include reverse current threshold (–50mV), AEC-Q100 qualification, DFN-10 (3mm × 3mm) package, and pin-selectable latch-off vs auto-retry behavior on forward overcurrent.
Technical Context
The LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF implements dual high-speed comparators (1µs propagation) with 25mV hysteresis for UV and OV detection, referenced to 0.5V internal thresholds. Its gate drive uses an integrated charge pump delivering up to 13.1V enhancement above VOUT, with fast (60mA/2µs) and slow (90µA/275µs) pull-down paths for controlled MOSFET turn-off.
It integrates bidirectional overcurrent sensing: +50mV forward threshold and –50mV reverse threshold (confirmed for LTC4368-1 family), with automatic re-enable after reverse fault when VIN – VOUT ≥ 100mV. The 32ms recovery delay applies to both UV/OV fault clearance and initial power-up, debouncing live connections and blocking 50/60Hz AC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 60V operating; protects against –40V to 100V transients |
| Reverse Current Threshold | –50mV (SENSE–VOUT); enables precise reverse polarity shutdown at defined load current |
| Forward Current Threshold | +50mV (SENSE–VOUT); sets accurate forward overcurrent trip point independent of supply voltage |
| UV/OV Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% with 25mV hysteresis; allows stable windowed supply monitoring using external resistor dividers |
| Operating Current | 80µA typical; enables low-power always-on protection in battery-backed systems |
| Shutdown Current | 5µA maximum; supports ultra-low quiescent power during system sleep modes |
| Gate Drive Enhancement | Up to 13.1V above VOUT; ensures full enhancement of standard N-channel MOSFETs across full input range |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead (3mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN with exposed pad (pin 11, optional GND connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GATE | Gate drive output | Drives gates of back-to-back N-MOSFETs; provides charge-pump-enhanced voltage up to 13.1V above VOUT |
| SENSE | Current sense input | Detects forward (+50mV) and reverse (–50mV) overcurrent via external sense resistor to VOUT |
| VOUT | Output voltage sense reference | Serves as charge pump return and reverse fault comparator reference; requires ≥1µF local bypass |
| FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulled low on UV/OV/current fault or SHDN assertion; requires external pull-up for logic-level signaling |
| SHDN | Shutdown control input | Active-low enable; toggling clears latched forward overcurrent faults when RETRY is grounded |
| VIN | Main supply input | Accepts 2.5V–60V operation; withstands –40V to 100V fault conditions; includes 2.2V UVLO |
| UV | Undervoltage comparator input | Connects to resistive divider; triggers shutdown if VIN falls below user-set threshold (0.5V internal ref) |
| OV | Overvoltage comparator input | Connects to resistive divider; triggers shutdown if VIN exceeds user-set threshold (0.5V internal ref) |
| RETRY | Forward OC recovery mode select | Grounded = latch-off; capacitor-connected = auto-retry with 5.5ms/nF cooldown delay |
| GND | Device ground reference | Primary signal and power return; exposed pad may be connected to PCB GND for thermal relief |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional overvoltage/overcurrent protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4368CDD-2#TRPBF | Reverse current threshold = –3mV (vs –50mV); higher sensitivity to small reverse leakage currents | Suitable for low-voltage systems where microamp-level reverse flow must be blocked (e.g., sensor bias rails) | Select LTC4368CDD-2#TRPBF only if sub-10mA reverse fault detection is required; otherwise LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF provides robust industrial-grade margin. |
| TPS26631RGER | Fixed 3.3V–60V operating range; no reverse voltage protection; single-direction (forward-only) current limiting at 100mV threshold | Designed for USB PD and PoE-powered devices requiring only forward overcurrent and overvoltage cutoff | Choose TPS26631RGER for cost-sensitive forward-only applications; LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF remains necessary where reverse polarity or bidirectional fault handling is mandatory. |
Compared with LTC4368CDD-2#TRPBF, the LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF offers higher reverse fault immunity ideal for automotive battery interfaces, while versus TPS26631RGER it delivers essential bidirectional protection and wider –40V to 100V fault tolerance-critical for uncontrolled power sources.

FAQ
What is the reverse current sense threshold for LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF?
The LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF has a confirmed reverse current sense threshold of –50mV (SENSE – VOUT), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for the LTC4368-1 variant. This value enables reliable detection of reverse polarity events and large reverse fault currents in automotive and industrial power paths. The LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF datasheet explicitly defines this parameter under ΔVSENSE,R for LTC4368-1.
Does LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF support hot-swap operation?
Yes, LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF supports hot-swap operation for supplies ≤24V at VOUT, as stated in the Features list and Applications section. Its 32ms turn-on delay debounces live connections, and the 2.2V VIN UVLO prevents misoperation during partial insertion. However, hot-swap capability is limited to VOUT ≤24V per the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Application Information sections.
What package type and temperature grade does LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF use?
LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF uses a 10-Lead (3mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN package with exposed pad (LGTH marking), rated for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation (Commercial grade). This matches the "C" suffix in the part number and is confirmed in the Order Information table on page 2 of the datasheet.
How does the RETRY pin function on LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF?
On LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF, the RETRY pin selects forward overcurrent recovery behavior: grounding RETRY enables latch-off mode (requires SHDN toggle to reset), while connecting a capacitor configures auto-retry with a 5.5ms/nF cooldown delay. This behavior is identical across all LTC4368-1 variants and is detailed in the PIN FUNCTIONS section on page 7.
Is LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, LTC4368CDD-1#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications, as explicitly stated in the FEATURES section on page 1 and confirmed in the Automotive Products table on page 3.
