Product details
Overview
LTC4368HDD-1#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-reliability bidirectional electronic circuit breaker and UV/OV/reverse protection controller for automotive and industrial power rails. It operates from 2.5V to 60V input, provides ±100V/–40V fault tolerance, features +50mV forward and –50mV reverse current sense thresholds (LTC4368-1 variant), and controls back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs in hot-swap 24V systems with 10A load capability.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4368HDD-1#PBF datasheet, LTC4368HDD-1#PBF pinout, LTC4368HDD-1#PBF application, or LTC4368HDD-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 125°C AEC-Q100 qualified operation, 32ms turn-on debounce, 5µA shutdown current, and precise ±1.5% adjustable UV/OV thresholds using external resistive dividers.
Technical Context
The LTC4368HDD-1#PBF integrates dual fast comparators (1µs propagation) for UV and OV monitoring with 25mV hysteresis, bidirectional overcurrent sensing with independent +50mV (forward) and –50mV (reverse) thresholds, and a charge-pump-based gate driver delivering up to 13.1V enhancement above VOUT. Its internal logic enforces a mandatory 32ms recovery delay after any UV/OV fault before re-enabling the external MOSFETs.
It implements pin-selectable forward overcurrent response-latch-off when RETRY is grounded, or auto-retry with user-configurable cooldown (e.g., 1200ms with 22nF capacitor). Reverse overcurrent recovery requires VIN to fall ≥100mV below VOUT before automatic reconnection, preventing oscillation during sustained reverse faults.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to 125°C - supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5V to 60V - powers systems from Li-ion battery packs up to 48V industrial rails. |
| Protection Range | –40V to 100V - withstands load dump transients and reverse battery connection. |
| Forward OC Threshold | +50mV across sense resistor - sets precise 10A trip with 0.005Ω RSENSE, enabling low-loss design. |
| Reverse OC Threshold | –50mV across sense resistor - detects reverse current as low as 0.6A with same 0.005Ω RSENSE. |
| Shutdown Current | 5µA - enables always-on monitoring in battery-backed systems with minimal drain. |
| UV/OV Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% - ensures stable power-good window setting (e.g., 7V–36V) across temperature and voltage. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead (3mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN with exposed pad (LGTH marking), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GATE | Gate drive output | Drives back-to-back N-MOSFET gates with up to 13.1V enhancement above VOUT; fast (60mA) and slow (90µA) pull-down paths ensure robust fault isolation. |
| SENSE | Current sense input | Detects forward (+50mV) and reverse (–50mV) overcurrent by measuring voltage drop across external sense resistor between SENSE and VOUT. |
| VOUT | Output voltage sense reference | Serves as charge pump reference and reverse fault comparator input; must rise >2.2V UVLO before reverse protection engages. |
| FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulled low on UV/OV/OC faults or SHDN assertion; requires external pull-up; signals system controller of power path failure. |
| SHDN | Shutdown control input | Active-low enable: high = normal operation (80µA IQ), low = 5µA standby; toggling clears latched forward OC faults. |
| VIN | Main supply input | Accepts –40V to 100V transients; 2.2V UVLO prevents operation below safe start threshold. |
| UV | Undervoltage comparator input | Connects to resistive divider; 0.5V falling threshold with 25mV hysteresis sets lower power-good limit (e.g., 7V). |
| OV | Overvoltage comparator input | Connects to resistive divider; 0.5V rising threshold with 25mV hysteresis sets upper power-good limit (e.g., 36V). |
| RETRY | Forward OC response mode select | Grounded = latch-off; capacitor-connected = auto-retry with configurable cooldown (e.g., 1200ms @ 22nF). |
| GND | Device ground | Reference for all internal circuits; exposed pad may be left floating or tied to PCB ground for thermal relief. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional circuit breaker | Enables single-chip protection against both forward (VIN→VOUT) and reverse (VOUT→VIN) overcurrent, critical for energy storage and regenerative braking interfaces. |
| 32ms turn-on debounce | Eliminates false triggering from live-insertion bounce and blocks 50/60Hz AC line noise, ensuring clean power sequencing in hot-swap applications. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade H qualification | Validated for –40°C to 125°C operation with full automotive reliability testing, suitable for engine control, ADAS, and body electronics. |
| Low quiescent current | 80µA operating / 5µA shutdown current extends battery life in always-on monitoring systems such as telematics and remote sensors. |
| Back-to-back N-MOSFET control | Supports low-RDS(on) discrete FETs instead of costly integrated ideal diodes, reducing conduction loss and thermal stress in high-current designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum reverse input voltage the LTC4368HDD-1#PBF can block?
The LTC4368HDD-1#PBF is rated to block reverse supply voltages down to –40V continuously, with absolute maximum rating of –40V on VIN. This enables reliable reverse battery protection in 12V automotive systems and safeguards against wiring errors in industrial 24V installations. The device automatically disconnects the load when reverse voltage exceeds –40V, preventing damage to downstream circuitry.
Does the LTC4368HDD-1#PBF support auto-retry after a forward overcurrent fault?
Yes, the LTC4368HDD-1#PBF supports auto-retry when the RETRY pin is connected to an external capacitor (e.g., 22nF yields ~120ms cooldown). When RETRY is grounded, it latches off permanently until SHDN is toggled. The LTC4368HDD-1#PBF's datasheet specifies tRETRY = 80–150ms for CRETRY = 22nF, providing predictable recovery timing without microcontroller intervention.
What is the purpose of the 32ms turn-on delay in the LTC4368HDD-1#PBF?
The 32ms turn-on delay in the LTC4368HDD-1#PBF debounces live supply connections and blocks 50Hz/60Hz AC power, preventing false triggering during hot-swap events or noisy line conditions. This delay applies after UV/OV faults clear and before GATE is enabled, ensuring the input remains within the valid window for sufficient time to reject transients and stabilize - a critical feature for automotive and industrial reliability.
Can the LTC4368HDD-1#PBF be used with P-channel MOSFETs?
No, the LTC4368HDD-1#PBF is explicitly designed to control back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs only. Its gate driver architecture provides positive voltage enhancement above VOUT to fully enhance N-MOSFETs, and it lacks the negative voltage generation needed for P-MOSFET gate drive. Using P-channel devices would violate the device's operational specification and compromise protection integrity.
How does the LTC4368HDD-1#PBF handle reverse overcurrent recovery?
After a reverse overcurrent fault, the LTC4368HDD-1#PBF waits until VOUT falls at least 100mV below VIN before automatically reconnecting the external MOSFETs. This ΔVRR threshold (75–125mV, typ.) ensures the reverse fault condition has fully cleared and prevents oscillatory behavior during marginal reverse loads - a key distinction from forward OC recovery, which uses RETRY-configured timing.
