Product details
Overview
LTC4380CDD-2#PBF from Analog Devices is a low-quiescent-current surge stopper IC that controls an external N-channel MOSFET to protect downstream loads from automotive load dump, reverse input, overvoltage (up to 72V input), and overcurrent events. It features fixed 31.5V/50V gate clamp selection via SEL pin, adjustable fault timing via TMR capacitor, and auto-retry fault behavior. Used in 12V/24V automotive power rails with 1A output capability.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4380CDD-2#PBF datasheet, LTC4380CDD-2#PBF pinout, LTC4380CDD-2#PBF application, or LTC4380CDD-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 8µA operating current, 31.5V/50V selectable gate clamp, auto-retry latchoff mode, –60V reverse input tolerance, and DFN (3mm × 3mm) package compatibility with AEC-Q100-compliant designs.
Technical Context
The LTC4380CDD-2#PBF implements a multiplier-based fault timer where TMR pin current scales with both MOSFET VDS (via DRN pin) and ID (via SNS–OUT voltage), enabling dynamic SOA protection. Its internal 20µA charge pump regulates GATE to VOUT + 11.5V during normal operation, while clamping GATE to 31.5V (SEL = GND) or 50V (SEL = VCC) during overvoltage.
It integrates undervoltage detection on the ON pin (1.05V threshold), open-drain FLT output for fault signaling, and supports reverse input protection to –60V. The device operates across 4V–72V input range, delivers 8µA quiescent current, and enters 6µA shutdown when ON < 0.99V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4V to 72V input - supports 12V/24V/28V automotive systems without external regulation |
| Quiescent Current | 8µA at 25°C - enables always-on battery-powered applications with minimal standby drain |
| Gate Clamp Options | 31.5V (SEL = GND) or 50V (SEL = VCC) - sets output clamp at ~27V or ~45V respectively |
| Fault Behavior | Auto-retry with cool-down period - automatically recovers after fault clears, no manual reset required |
| Reverse Input Rating | –60V - protects against reverse battery connection without external diode |
| Current Limit Threshold | 50mV (rising), 62mV (severe short) - sets precise, temperature-stable current limit via sense resistor |
| Package | 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) DFN - compact footprint with exposed pad for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead (3mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 11 = GND, optional PCB connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Device ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuits; exposed pad must be connected to system GND for thermal and electrical integrity |
| VCC | Positive supply input | Accepts 4V–72V input; withstands –60V reverse; requires external Zener or RC filter if >80V transients expected |
| OUT | Output voltage sense | Senses load-side voltage; internal clamp limits GATE–OUT to 17V; requires ≥22µF local bypass |
| SNS | Current sense input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor; controls GATE to maintain ΔVSNS = 50mV/62mV |
| DRN | MOSFET drain-source sense | Tracks OUT; generates current proportional to VDS for multiplier-based fault timing |
| GATE | N-MOSFET gate driver | Drives external MOSFET gate; regulated to VOUT + 11.5V; clamped to 31.5V/50V (SEL-dependent) |
| ON | Enable/UV detect input | Turns device on above 1.05V; shuts down to 6µA below 0.99V; supports undervoltage lockout |
| SEL | Gate clamp select | GND = 31.5V clamp; VCC/OUT = 50V clamp - determines output overvoltage clamp level |
| TMR | Fault timer integrator | Capacitor-connected node; charges with MOSFET stress-proportional current; triggers FLT at 1.215V |
| FLT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low during overvoltage/overcurrent fault; sinks up to 3mA; signals need for system-level response |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-retry fault recovery | Enables autonomous system recovery after transient overvoltage or overload without host intervention |
| Multiplier-based MOSFET stress timer | Adjusts fault timeout dynamically based on real-time VDS × ID, preserving MOSFET SOA under varying fault severity |
| Selectable 31.5V/50V gate clamp | Allows single BOM to support both 12V (27V clamp) and 24V/28V (45V clamp) automotive platforms |
| –60V reverse input tolerance | Eliminates need for external reverse-polarity protection diode, reducing voltage drop and heat dissipation |
| 8µA operating quiescent current | Extends battery life in always-on vehicle modules (e.g., telematics, alarm systems) without compromising protection |

FAQ
What is the gate clamp voltage configuration for LTC4380CDD-2#PBF?
The LTC4380CDD-2#PBF supports two fixed internal gate clamp voltages: 31.5V when the SEL pin is tied to GND (for 12V systems), and 50V when SEL is tied to VCC or OUT (for 24V/28V systems). This directly determines the output overvoltage clamp level - approximately 27V or 45V respectively - and is confirmed in the LTC4380 Rev. C datasheet Table 1 and Pin Functions section.
Does LTC4380CDD-2#PBF support reverse battery protection?
Yes, LTC4380CDD-2#PBF supports reverse input protection to –60V on the VCC pin, enabling direct connection to automotive battery terminals without external Schottky diodes. This is specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings and verified in the Reverse Current vs Reverse Voltage plot (Fig. G08) of the LTC4380 Rev. C datasheet.
How does the fault timer in LTC4380CDD-2#PBF respond to different fault conditions?
The LTC4380CDD-2#PBF fault timer uses a multiplier architecture: TMR pin current scales with both MOSFET VDS (via DRN) and ID (via SNS–OUT), causing faster turn-off under high-power faults. Upon reaching 1.215V, it enters cool-down mode and auto-restarts - unlike latchoff versions. This behavior is explicitly defined for LTC4380-2 variants in the OPERATION section of the Rev. C datasheet.
What is the quiescent current of LTC4380CDD-2#PBF and how is it measured?
The LTC4380CDD-2#PBF has a typical operating quiescent current of 8µA at 25°C, measured as total supply current into VCC, OUT, SNS, and DRN pins under normal operation (VCC = OUT = SNS = DRN = 12V). In shutdown (ON < 0.99V), it drops to 6µA - values confirmed in Electrical Characteristics Table on page 4 of the Rev. C datasheet.
Can LTC4380CDD-2#PBF drive back-to-back MOSFETs for reverse polarity protection?
Yes, the GATE pin of LTC4380CDD-2#PBF can drive back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs to implement bidirectional reverse input protection, eliminating the forward voltage drop and power loss of Schottky diodes. This capability is explicitly stated in the FEATURES section and PIN FUNCTIONS description for the GATE pin in the Rev. C datasheet.
