Product details
Overview
LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF 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, and overcurrent events. It features 8µA operating current, 4V–72V input range, adjustable gate clamp (via external Zener), latchoff fault behavior, and reverse input protection to –60V - deployed in 12V/24V battery-powered systems requiring robust transient immunity.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF pinout, LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF application, or LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its latchoff response to overvoltage/overcurrent faults, absence of internal gate-to-GND clamp (requiring external VCC clamping), MSOP-10 package compatibility, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF implements a multiplier-based fault timer where TMR pin current scales with both MOSFET VDS (sensed at DRN) and ID (via ΔVSNS), enabling dynamic SOA protection proportional to instantaneous power dissipation. Its GATE driver delivers regulated 11.5V above OUT and clamps to VCC + 13.5V - no internal 31.5V/50V gate-to-GND clamp, distinguishing it from -1/-2 variants.
It uses an ON pin comparator (1.05V threshold, 45mV hysteresis) for undervoltage detection and shutdown control, reducing quiescent current to 6µA. Fault detection triggers at TMR = 1.215V; for LTC4380-3, this causes latched-off state until ON pin is pulsed low ≥100µs or power cycled - no auto-retry or cool-down phase.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4V to 72V input - supports 12V/24V/28V automotive and industrial rails without external regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 8µA typical - enables always-on battery-backed systems with multi-year standby life. |
| Fault Response | Latchoff only - output remains disabled after overvoltage or overcurrent until manual reset via ON pin pulse or power cycle. |
| Gate Drive Compliance | VGATE limited to VCC + 13.5V - requires external Zener on VCC to set precise output clamp voltage (e.g., 68V Zener → ~56V clamp). |
| Reverse Input Protection | Withstands –60V on VCC - eliminates need for upstream Schottky diode in reverse-battery scenarios. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 50mV (OUT > 3V) rising to 62mV (OUT < 1.5V) - sets accurate, temperature-stable load current limit via sense resistor. |
| Package | 10-Lead MSOP - surface-mount footprint compatible with automated assembly and thermal relief via exposed pad (GND). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead Plastic MSOP (3mm × 3mm body, 0.5mm pitch), exposed pad connected to GND for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Device ground reference and thermal path | Must be low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane; exposed pad is electrically GND. |
| OUT | Output voltage sense node | Connects to source-side of sense resistor; internal clamp limits GATE–OUT to 17V - critical for MOSFET gate stress control. |
| SNS | Current sense input | Connects to load-side of sense resistor; ΔVSNS = 50mV sets current limit - accuracy directly determines load protection precision. |
| DRN | MOSFET drain-source voltage monitor | Current into DRN ∝ VDS; used with SNS signal in internal multiplier to accelerate fault timing under high MOSFET stress. |
| GATE | N-MOSFET gate drive output | Regulated 11.5V above OUT; clamped to VCC + 13.5V - external Zener on VCC defines final output clamp level. |
| VCC | Positive supply input | Operates from 4V–72V; withstands –60V reverse - must be Zener-clamped during >72V transients to prevent GATE overvoltage. |
| ON | Enable/shutdown and UVLO input | 1.05V threshold with 45mV hysteresis; pulling below 0.99V shuts down IC, reducing IQ to 6µA. |
| FLT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low when TMR reaches 1.215V; remains low until reset - signals persistent fault condition to system controller. |
| TMR | Fault timer integration node | Capacitor to GND sets fault timeout; current scales with MOSFET power - enables adaptive SOA protection. |
| SEL | Gate clamp select (no function in -3) | Internally tied to GND for LTC4380-3; unused - no effect on operation or clamp voltage. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Output Clamp via External Zener | Enables precise output voltage limiting (e.g., 27V, 45V, 56V) by clamping VCC - required since LTC4380-3 lacks internal gate-to-GND clamp. |
| Latchoff Fault Behavior | Prevents uncontrolled cycling during sustained faults - mandates deliberate system-level reset, improving reliability in safety-critical automotive modules. |
| Reverse Input Protection to –60V | Eliminates need for series Schottky diode - reduces forward drop, heat, and BOM count in battery-connected applications. |
| Dynamic MOSFET Stress Acceleration | TMR current scales with VDS × ID, shortening fault timeout under high-power dissipation - keeps MOSFET within SOA during severe transients. |
| Ultra-Low 8µA Operating Current | Supports permanent installation in vehicle infotainment, telematics, and ADAS modules powered directly from battery without wake-up circuitry. |

FAQ
What is the gate clamp configuration of the LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF?
The LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF has no internal gate-to-GND clamp - unlike LTC4380-1/-2 variants. Its GATE pin is regulated to VOUT + 11.5V and clamped only to VCC + 13.5V. To set a specific output clamp voltage (e.g., 27V), a Zener diode must be placed between VCC and GND. This design allows flexible, application-specific clamping while maintaining compatibility with the LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF's latchoff fault behavior.
Does the LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF support auto-retry after a fault?
No. The LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF implements latchoff-only fault response. When the TMR pin reaches 1.215V due to overvoltage or overcurrent, the GATE pin turns off and remains off until the ON pin is pulled low for ≥100µs or power is cycled. This differs from LTC4380-2/-4 variants, which feature auto-retry with cool-down timing. The latchoff behavior of LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF ensures deterministic fault containment in safety-critical systems.
What is the maximum reverse input voltage the LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF can withstand?
The LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF withstands –60V on the VCC pin with ON open and SEL = 0V, per Absolute Maximum Ratings. This enables direct connection to automotive battery rails without external reverse-polarity protection diodes. During reverse-battery conditions, the device remains functional and protects downstream circuitry - a key advantage over discrete solutions requiring Schottky diodes with forward voltage drop and thermal limitations.
How is current limiting implemented in the LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF?
The LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF limits load current by regulating ΔVSNS (SNS–OUT) to 50mV when OUT > 3V, and to 62mV when OUT < 1.5V. This voltage is sensed across an external current-sense resistor (RSNS), setting ILOAD = 50mV/RSNS. The current limit amplifier operates independently of input voltage and temperature, providing stable, accurate protection across the full 4V–72V operating range - essential for consistent performance in variable automotive battery conditions.
What package type and thermal characteristics does the LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF use?
The LTC4380CMS-3#TRPBF uses a 10-Lead Plastic MSOP package with an exposed pad connected to GND. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 160°C/W (JEDEC standard board). The exposed pad must be soldered to a thermal pad on the PCB for effective heat dissipation - especially important during sustained overcurrent events where MOSFET power dissipation is transferred through the IC's GATE driver. This package enables compact layout while supporting reliable operation up to 70°C ambient.
