Product details
Overview
LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-reliability bidirectional electronic circuit breaker and UV/OV protection controller for automotive and industrial power rails. It operates from 2.5V to 60V input, provides ±100V/–40V fault tolerance, features –3mV reverse overcurrent threshold (LTC4368-2 variant), 80µA operating current, and controls back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs in 3mm × 3mm DFN package. It is used in energy storage systems to prevent reverse battery damage and overvoltage transients.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF application, or LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 125°C AEC-Q100 qualified temperature range, 32ms turn-on delay for AC blocking, adjustable UV/OV thresholds via resistive dividers, and precise ±1.5% voltage window setting capability.
Technical Context
The LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF integrates dual fast comparators (1µs propagation) with 25mV hysteresis for UV and OV monitoring, and two independent overcurrent comparators: +50mV forward and –3mV reverse sense thresholds. Its gate driver delivers up to 13.1V enhancement above VOUT with 90µA slow pull-down and 90mA fast pull-down capability.
It implements a 32ms recovery delay after UV/OV faults and supports user-configurable forward overcurrent auto-retry via external capacitor on RETRY pin. Reverse overcurrent recovery requires VIN–VOUT ≥ 75mV (typical) before re-enabling, and it blocks 50Hz/60Hz AC by design due to the turn-on debounce timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 2.5V to 60V - defines functional supply window for load-side power delivery |
| Protection Range | –40V to 100V - withstands reverse battery insertion and surge events without latch-up |
| Reverse OC Threshold | –3mV (SENSE–VOUT) - enables ultra-sensitive detection of small reverse leakage currents |
| UV/OV Threshold Accuracy | ±1.5% - ensures precise, stable power-good window setting across temperature |
| Quiescent Current | 80µA - minimizes standby power loss in always-on automotive modules |
| Shutdown Current | 5µA - supports low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to 125°C - meets AEC-Q100 Grade H requirements for under-hood applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead (3mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN with exposed pad (optional ground connection).
| 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; includes 90mA fast pull-down for rapid fault isolation |
| SENSE | Current sense input | Detects bidirectional overcurrent: +50mV (forward), –3mV (reverse); referenced to VOUT for accurate RSENSE-based trip setting |
| VOUT | Output voltage sense | Reference node for GATE charge pump and reverse fault comparators; must exceed 2.2V UVLO to enable reverse protection |
| FAULT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulled low during UV/OV faults, SHDN low, or overcurrent; requires external pull-up for system-level fault signaling |
| SHDN | Shutdown control input | Active-low enable: <0.75V disables GATE driver and reduces current to 5µA; toggling clears latched forward OC faults |
| VIN | Main supply input | Accepts –40V to 100V; hot-swappable with 2.2V UVLO; powers internal LDO and charge pump |
| UV | Undervoltage comparator input | Connects to resistive divider; 0.5V falling threshold with 25mV hysteresis; <1nA leakage enables high-R dividers |
| OV | Overvoltage comparator input | Connects to resistive divider; 0.5V rising threshold with 25mV hysteresis; same low-leakage interface as UV |
| RETRY | Forward OC recovery mode select | Ground = latch-off; capacitor = auto-retry (e.g., 22nF → 120ms cooldown); sets retry timer current sink (2.5–4.5µA) |
| GND | Device ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits; exposed pad may be connected to PCB ground for thermal performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional overcurrent protection | +50mV forward / –3mV reverse sensing enables precise current limiting in both supply and backup-battery directions |

| AEC-Q100 Grade H qualification | Validated for –40°C to 125°C operation with full electrical characterization across temperature, supporting automotive under-hood use |
| Low 5µA shutdown current | Enables long-term battery preservation in always-connected telematics and ECU modules |
| Back-to-back N-MOSFET control | Eliminates need for costly P-channel high-side switches while maintaining low RDS(on) conduction losses |
| Adjustable ±1.5% UV/OV window | Allows precise power-good envelope tuning via external resistor dividers, critical for Li-ion and 12V/24V hybrid systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional overvoltage and overcurrent protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4368IDD-2#TRPBF | Same functionality and pinout; rated for –40°C to 85°C (Grade I) instead of –40°C to 125°C (Grade H) | Suitable for cabin-mounted automotive modules or industrial controllers not exposed to under-hood temperatures | Select when full Grade H temperature range is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized |
| TPS26631PWPR | Single-direction (forward-only) protection IC with integrated 80mΩ FET; no reverse current sensing or –40V tolerance | Limited to basic overcurrent/overvoltage protection in non-battery-reverse scenarios | Choose only if reverse polarity risk is eliminated by mechanical design and compact integrated-FET solution is preferred |

FAQ
What is the reverse overcurrent threshold of the LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF?
The LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF has a reverse overcurrent threshold of –3mV (SENSE–VOUT), which is fixed for the "-2" variant. This enables highly sensitive detection of small reverse leakage currents, such as those occurring during battery backup switchover or reverse polarity events. The threshold is internally trimmed and specified over the full –40°C to 125°C range.
Does the LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF support adjustable UV and OV thresholds?
Yes, the LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF supports fully adjustable undervoltage and overvoltage thresholds using external resistive dividers on the UV and OV pins. Each input has a precise 0.5V internal reference with ±1.5% accuracy and 25mV hysteresis. Typical configurations set windows like 7V–36V, but any range within 2.5V–60V can be implemented with standard 1% resistors.
How does the LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF handle AC line interference?
The LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF inherently blocks 50Hz and 60Hz AC power due to its 32ms turn-on delay, which debounces live supply connections and filters out line-frequency noise. This eliminates the need for external AC-blocking capacitors or additional filtering stages in DC-input systems powered from rectified AC sources.
What is the maximum gate drive voltage provided by the LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF?
The LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF provides up to 13.1V of gate enhancement above VOUT (ΔVGATE), enabling full enhancement of standard N-channel MOSFETs even at low VIN (e.g., 2.5V). This is achieved via an internal charge pump referenced to VOUT, and the drive strength is maintained across the full –40°C to 125°C operating range.
Is the LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LTC4368HDD-2#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications (Grade H, –40°C to 125°C) and manufactured under controlled automotive processes. It includes full temperature-range characterization, enhanced ESD robustness, and reliability testing per AEC-Q100 standards-making it suitable for under-hood and safety-critical power rail protection.
