Product details
Overview
LTC4380CMS-1#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 polarity, and overcurrent events. It features 8µA operating current, 4V–72V input range, fixed 31.5V/50V gate clamp selection via SEL pin, and latched fault behavior. It is used in 12V automotive electronics where output clamping to ~27V during 250V transients is required.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4380CMS-1#PBF datasheet, LTC4380CMS-1#PBF pinout, LTC4380CMS-1#PBF application, or LTC4380CMS-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include latchoff vs auto-retry behavior, gate clamp voltage selection (31.5V/50V), MOSFET stress acceleration via TMR-based multiplier, reverse input protection to –60V, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive systems.
Technical Context
The LTC4380CMS-1#PBF implements a VDS × ID multiplier on the TMR pin to dynamically shorten fault timeout based on MOSFET power dissipation-enabling SOA compliance during sustained overvoltage or overload. Its internal 20µA charge pump regulates GATE to VOUT + 11.5V, while dual gate clamp options (31.5V or 50V referenced to GND) are selected by the SEL pin state.
It integrates undervoltage detection via the ON pin (1.05V threshold), open-drain FLT output signaling fault status, and reverse-input protection down to –60V. The device operates across 0°C to 70°C ambient and uses a 10-lead MSOP package with exposed pad grounded for thermal performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quiescent Current | 8 µA typical at 25°C - enables always-on battery-powered operation without significant drain. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 72 V - supports 12V and 24V/28V automotive systems and industrial rails up to 72V. |
| Gate Clamp Options | 31.5 V or 50 V (SEL = GND or VCC) - sets output clamping at ~27V or ~45V respectively for 12V/24V system compatibility. |
| Fault Behavior | Latchoff (non-retry) - requires ON pin pulse <100 µs or power cycle to reset after overvoltage/overcurrent shutdown. |
| Reverse Input Protection | –60 V - withstands reverse battery connection without damage, eliminating need for external series diode. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 50 mV (rising), 62 mV (severe short, OUT < 1.5 V) - sets precise, temperature-stable current limit via external sense resistor. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - commercial-grade rating suitable for under-hood and cabin electronics with controlled thermal environment. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead Plastic MSOP (3mm × 3mm footprint, 0.5mm pitch), exposed pad connected to GND for thermal management.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Device Ground Reference | Primary ground return for all internal circuits and exposed pad; must be low-impedance connection. |
| VCC | Positive Supply Input | Accepts 4V–72V input; withstands –60V reverse; powers internal circuitry and charge pump. |
| OUT | Output Voltage Sense | Senses regulated output node; bypassed with ≥22µF capacitor; internal clamp limits GATE–OUT to 17V. |
| SNS | Current Sense Input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor (SNS–OUT); sets 50mV/62mV current limit threshold. |
| DRN | MOSFET Drain–Source Sense | Tracks VDS via external RDRN; generates proportional current into TMR for MOSFET stress acceleration. |
| GATE | N-Channel MOSFET Gate Driver | Drives external MOSFET gate; regulated to VOUT + 11.5V; clamped to 31.5V/50V (SEL-dependent) or VCC + 13.5V. |
| ON | Enable / UVLO / Shutdown Control | 1.05V threshold; pull >1.05V to enable, <0.99V to shut down (reducing IQ to 6µA); supports undervoltage lockout. |
| SEL | Gate Clamp Voltage Select | Ground = 31.5V clamp; connect to VCC/OUT = 50V clamp - only active in LTC4380-1/LTC4380-2 variants. |
| FLT | Fault Status Output | Open-drain logic-low signal when faulted; sinks up to 3mA; indicates latched-off state until reset. |
| TMR | Fault Timer Integration Node | Connects to timing capacitor CTMR; current scales with MOSFET VDS × ID; triggers shutdown at 1.215V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low 8µA Operating Quiescent Current | Enables direct connection to vehicle battery in always-on modules (e.g., telematics, alarm systems) without excessive standby drain. |
| Adjustable Fault Timing with MOSFET Stress Acceleration | TMR current scales with VDS × ID, reducing timeout during high-power faults - keeps MOSFET within SOA without manual derating. |
| Reverse Input Protection to –60V | Eliminates need for external Schottky or MOSFET-based reverse-polarity protection, reducing BOM count and forward voltage drop. |
| Fixed Dual Gate Clamp (31.5V/50V) | Provides system-level output clamping at ~27V (12V systems) or ~45V (24V/28V systems) without external Zener networks. |
| Latchoff Fault Response | Prevents uncontrolled cycling during persistent faults (e.g., sustained load dump), enhancing system safety and diagnostics. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified (MSOP Grade) | Validated for automotive use per stress test requirements - supports deployment in infotainment, body control, and ADAS subsystems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar surge stopper applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4380IMS-1#PBF | Same functionality and pinout; rated for –40°C to 85°C industrial temperature range. | Required for under-hood or wide-temperature industrial deployments where 0°C–70°C is insufficient. | Select when extended ambient operation is needed; otherwise LTC4380CMS-1#PBF suffices for cabin or controlled environments. |
| LTC4380CMS-2#PBF | Identical package and pinout; differs only in fault behavior - auto-retry instead of latchoff. | Suitable for non-safety-critical systems where automatic recovery after transient fault is preferred over manual reset. | Choose LTC4380CMS-2#PBF only if system firmware can handle repeated fault cycles; LTC4380CMS-1#PBF provides deterministic lockout. |
Compared with LTC4380IMS-1#PBF and LTC4380CMS-2#PBF, the LTC4380CMS-1#PBF offers optimal balance of cost, temperature margin, and fail-safe latchoff behavior for commercial automotive cabin electronics - avoiding unnecessary thermal derating or uncontrolled restarts.

FAQ
What is the gate clamp voltage configuration for LTC4380CMS-1#PBF?
The LTC4380CMS-1#PBF is the -1 variant, which provides fixed internal gate clamp voltages of 31.5V (SEL = GND) or 50V (SEL = VCC/OUT). This allows output clamping at ~27V or ~45V respectively, making it ideal for 12V and 24V/28V automotive systems. The LTC4380CMS-1#PBF does not support externally adjustable clamping - that function is reserved for -3/-4 variants.
Does LTC4380CMS-1#PBF support reverse battery protection?
Yes, the LTC4380CMS-1#PBF supports reverse input protection down to –60V on the VCC pin. This eliminates the need for an external series Schottky diode or reverse-MOSFET solution. When VCC is pulled to –60V with ON open or pulled low, the device remains undamaged and draws only leakage current - a key feature for automotive battery-connected modules.
How does the fault timer in LTC4380CMS-1#PBF respond to MOSFET stress?
The LTC4380CMS-1#PBF uses a TMR pin current proportional to both VDS (via DRN) and ID (via SNS–OUT), effectively implementing a VDS × ID multiplier. This causes the TMR capacitor to charge faster under higher MOSFET power dissipation - shortening fault timeout during severe conditions and keeping the external MOSFET within its Safe Operating Area without manual SOA derating.
What is the operating temperature range of LTC4380CMS-1#PBF?
The LTC4380CMS-1#PBF is specified for 0°C to 70°C ambient operating temperature - the "C" grade in the ordering matrix. It is packaged in a 10-lead MSOP with exposed pad, and its thermal resistance (θJA) is 160°C/W. This rating suits cabin-mounted automotive electronics and industrial control panels with moderate thermal environments.
Is LTC4380CMS-1#PBF pin-compatible with other LTC4380 variants?
Yes, all LTC4380 variants - including LTC4380CMS-1#PBF, LTC4380CMS-2#PBF, LTC4380IMS-1#PBF, and LTC4380HMS-1#PBF - share identical 10-pin MSOP pinouts and footprints. Differences lie solely in temperature grade, fault behavior (-1 vs -2), and gate clamp architecture (-1/-2 vs -3/-4); no PCB redesign is needed when upgrading to wider temperature or auto-retry versions.
