Product details
Overview
LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-reliability bidirectional electronic circuit breaker and UV/OV protection controller for automotive-grade 2.5V–60V power rails. It controls back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs to block reverse supply down to –40V, overvoltage up to 100V, and forward/reverse overcurrent (±50mV sense threshold), with 32ms turn-on delay for AC blocking and hot-swap robustness - deployed in energy storage systems and 12V/24V automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF datasheet, LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF pinout, LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF application, or LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 125°C AEC-Q100 qualified DFN package, ±1.5% adjustable UV/OV thresholds, 80µA operating current, 5µA shutdown current, and reverse current fault re-enable at ΔVRR = 75–125mV (VIN – VOUT).
Technical Context
The LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF implements dual fast comparators (1µs propagation) for UV (0.5V falling threshold, 25mV hysteresis) and OV (0.5V rising threshold, 25mV hysteresis), each driving a 60mA GATE pull-down sink. Its bidirectional current sensing uses a single SENSE–VOUT differential input with fixed +50mV (forward) and –50mV (reverse, LTC4368-1 variant) thresholds, enabling detection of both load-to-source and source-to-load faults.
Gate drive employs an internal charge pump delivering up to 13.1V enhancement (GATE – VOUT) across VIN = 2.5V–60V, with fast (2–6µs) and slow (150–575µs) turn-off paths controlled by fault type and SHDN state. A 32ms recovery delay enforces stable power-good window validation before reconnecting after UV/OV faults.

Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead (3mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN with exposed pad (optional ground connection). RoHS-compliant, tape-and-reel packaged (WTRPBF suffix denotes automotive-grade wafer processing and traceable sourcing).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input Supply Rail | Primary power input; withstands –40V to 100V transients; includes 2.2V UVLO for safe startup. |
| UV | Undervoltage Comparator Input | Connects to resistive divider; triggers GATE shutdown when VIN falls below user-set threshold (0.5V comparator reference). |
| OV | Overvoltage Comparator Input | Connects to resistive divider; triggers immediate GATE shutdown when VIN exceeds user-set threshold (0.5V comparator reference). |
| RETRY | Forward OC Recovery Mode Select | Grounded → latch-off; capacitor-connected → auto-retry with 5.5ms/nF cooldown (e.g., 22nF = ~120ms). |
| GND | Device Ground Reference | System return path for internal logic, comparators, and gate drive circuitry. |
| GATE | N-MOSFET Gate Driver Output | Charge-pump-driven output; pulls up to VOUT+13.1V, pulls down via 60mA sink during faults. |
| SENSE | Current Sense Input | Differential input referenced to VOUT; detects +50mV (forward) or –50mV (reverse) across RSENSE. |
| VOUT | Output Voltage Sense & Charge Pump Reference | Sense node for reverse OC detection; provides charge pump input when >5V; requires ≥1µF local bypass. |
| FAULT | Open-Drain Fault Indicator | Pulled low on UV/OV/OC/SHDN assertion; requires external pull-up; signals system-level fault management. |
| SHDN | Shutdown Control Input | Active-low enable; <0.75V disables GATE drive and reduces current to 5µA; toggling clears latched OC faults. |

FAQ
What is the reverse voltage protection limit of the LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF?
The LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF provides reverse supply protection down to –40V at the VIN pin. This rating is absolute maximum and applies across its full –40°C to 125°C operating range. The device actively blocks reverse current flow using its –50mV reverse overcurrent threshold and internal logic that holds GATE low until VOUT falls 100mV below VIN - ensuring safe disconnection during battery reversal events. This specification is validated per AEC-Q100 stress testing protocols.
How does the LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF handle overvoltage faults above 60V?
The LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF maintains functional protection up to 100V on VIN, well beyond its 60V operating range. When VIN exceeds the user-configured OV threshold (set via external resistors on the OV pin), the device asserts FAULT and sinks 60mA from GATE to rapidly discharge external MOSFET gates - isolating the load within microseconds. This 100V absolute maximum rating is sustained without damage, enabling robust defense against load-dump transients common in 12V/24V automotive systems.
Can the LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF be used with P-channel MOSFETs?
No, the LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF is explicitly designed to drive back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs only. Its GATE output is a charge-pump-enhanced high-side driver referenced to VOUT, delivering up to 13.1V above VOUT to fully enhance N-MOSFETs. Driving P-channel devices would require inverted logic, negative gate drive, and incompatible topology - none of which are supported. The datasheet, application circuits, and internal architecture assume N-channel configurations exclusively.
What is the purpose of the 32ms turn-on delay in the LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF?
The 32ms turn-on delay in the LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF serves two critical functions: first, it debounces live supply connections to prevent false triggering during mechanical contact bounce; second, it blocks 50Hz and 60Hz AC power by ensuring the input remains stable within the UV/OV window for >16 cycles before enabling GATE. This delay is hardware-implemented and active after every UV/OV fault clearance or power-up event, guaranteeing clean, chatter-free power delivery to sensitive downstream loads.
Is the LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC4368 family?
Yes, all LTC4368 variants - including LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF, LTC4368HDD-2#WTRPBF, and LTC4368IMS-1#PBF - share identical pinouts across DFN and MSOP packages. The LTC4368HDD-1#WTRPBF uses the 10-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN (LGTH marking), matching pin-for-pin with other DFN variants. Functionally, differences are limited to reverse OC threshold (–50mV vs –3mV) and temperature grade (–40°C to 125°C), with no impact on PCB layout or interconnect design.
