Product details
Overview
LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF 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 protection, features +50mV forward and –50mV reverse current sense thresholds (LTC4368-1 variant), and controls back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs in 3mm × 3mm DFN packages rated for –40°C to 125°C ambient.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF application, or LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 5µA shutdown current, 32ms turn-on debounce, 100mV reverse re-enable threshold, and compatibility with external N-MOSFETs for low-loss, hot-swappable 24V/48V systems.
Technical Context
The LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF integrates dual precision comparators (±1.5% UV/OV thresholds with 25mV hysteresis), bidirectional overcurrent detection (±50mV sense), 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 supports pin-selectable forward overcurrent behavior-latch-off when RETRY is grounded or auto-retry with user-defined cooldown via external capacitor-and implements automatic reverse reconnection only after VOUT falls ≥100mV below VIN, ensuring safe recovery from reverse polarity events without manual intervention.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF | Reverse sense threshold is –3mV instead of –50mV; optimized for ultra-low reverse leakage detection | Better suited for low-power backup supplies where microamp-level reverse current must be blocked | Select LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF only if sub-10mV reverse trip is required; otherwise LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF provides stronger reverse fault margin |
| TPS26631RHFR | Single-direction (forward-only) protection IC; no reverse voltage or reverse current capability; integrated FET | Limited to unidirectional 4.5V–60V supplies; lacks reverse battery or bidirectional fault handling | Choose TPS26631RHFR only for cost-sensitive, forward-only applications where reverse protection is handled externally |
Compared with LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF and TPS26631RHFR, the LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF uniquely delivers full bidirectional fault coverage (±100V/–40V, ±50mV) with AEC-Q100 H-grade reliability and external MOSFET flexibility-making it the only option for automotive-grade, field-reversible power architectures requiring latch-off or configurable retry behavior.

FAQ
What is the reverse current sense threshold of the LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF?
The LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF uses a –50mV reverse current sense threshold (ΔVSENSE,R), meaning it asserts a fault and disconnects the load when the voltage at SENSE falls 50mV below VOUT. This value is fixed for the "-1" variant and applies across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range, enabling reliable reverse battery and regenerative current protection in automotive systems.
Does the LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF require external MOSFETs?
Yes, the LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF is a controller IC and requires two external back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs to implement the protection path. It drives their gates via the GATE pin and monitors current through an external sense resistor between SENSE and VOUT. This architecture allows optimization of RDS(on), voltage rating, and thermal performance for each application's specific load requirements.
How does the 32ms turn-on delay function in the LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF?
The 32ms turn-on delay in the LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF acts as a power-good debounce timer: after UV/OV faults clear, the device waits 32ms before re-enabling the GATE driver. This prevents chattering during noisy supply conditions and blocks 50Hz/60Hz AC power coupling. The delay is fixed and not adjustable, ensuring consistent behavior across temperature and voltage variations.
Is the LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, the LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade H (–40°C to +125°C ambient), with full test documentation per automotive reliability standards. This qualification covers HTOL, TC, UHAST, ESD, and other stress tests, confirming suitability for under-hood and chassis-mounted automotive electronics where long-term reliability under thermal and electrical stress is mandatory.
What is the purpose of the RETRY pin on the LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF?
The RETRY pin on the LTC4368HDD-1#TRPBF configures forward overcurrent recovery behavior: grounding it enables latch-off mode (requires SHDN toggle to reset), while connecting it to a capacitor sets auto-retry with a cooldown period of 5.5ms per nanofarad. Leaving it unconnected defaults to latch-off. This pin does not affect reverse overcurrent recovery, which is always automatic after VOUT falls ≥100mV below VIN.
