Product details
Overview
LTC4380HDD-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, overvoltage transients up to 250V, and overcurrent faults. It features fixed 31.5V/50V gate clamp selection via SEL pin, 8µA operating current, –40°C to 125°C extended temperature rating, and auto-retry fault behavior for continuous system resilience in harsh environments like vehicle power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4380HDD-2#PBF datasheet, LTC4380HDD-2#PBF pinout, LTC4380HDD-2#PBF application, or LTC4380HDD-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 10-pin DFN (3mm × 3mm) package, H-grade automotive qualification (AEC-Q100), adjustable fault timer with MOSFET stress acceleration, reverse input protection to –60V, and compatibility with high-side N-MOSFET configurations for battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The LTC4380HDD-2#PBF implements a multiplier-based fault timer where TMR pin current scales with both VDS (via DRN pin) and ID (via SNS–OUT voltage), enabling dynamic SOA protection proportional to MOSFET power dissipation. 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 events.
It supports auto-retry behavior: after fault timeout at TMR = 1.215V, it enters a cool-down phase with bidirectional 2µA TMR current, cycling 15 times between 1.215V and 3.4V before discharging to 100mV and re-enabling the MOSFET - eliminating manual reset requirements in unattended systems.

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Device ground reference | Common return for all internal circuitry; exposed pad must be connected to system GND for thermal and electrical integrity |
| VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 4V–72V input; withstands –60V reverse bias; requires external Zener or RC filter for >80V transients |
| OUT | Output voltage sense | Monitors load-side voltage; internal clamp limits GATE–OUT to 17V; bypass with ≥22µF capacitor |
| SNS | Current sense input | Connects to high-side of sense resistor; regulates ΔVSNS to 50mV/62mV for overcurrent limiting |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC4380HDD-2#PBF can withstand without external protection?
The LTC4380HDD-2#PBF operates from 4V to 72V and withstands reverse input voltages down to –60V. For positive transients exceeding 80V (e.g., automotive load dump), external protection - such as a 68V Zener diode on VCC or RC filtering - is required to prevent damage. The datasheet specifies absolute maximum VCC as 80V, and operation beyond this requires clamping.
How does the LTC4380HDD-2#PBF achieve auto-retry behavior, and what is the cool-down timing mechanism?
The LTC4380HDD-2#PBF enters auto-retry mode after fault timeout: TMR discharges to 100mV following 15 bidirectional cycles between 1.215V and 3.4V, each governed by 2µA pull-up/pull-down current. Total cool-down time depends on CTMR value - e.g., 8.2µF yields ~1.2s per half-cycle. This eliminates need for external reset circuitry and enables autonomous recovery in inaccessible deployments.
Can the LTC4380HDD-2#PBF be used with back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs for reverse polarity protection?
Yes, the LTC4380HDD-2#PBF's GATE driver supports back-to-back N-MOSFET configurations. By driving both gates referenced to their respective sources, it enables true bidirectional reverse input protection to –60V without Schottky diodes - reducing forward voltage drop, conduction loss, and thermal burden compared to diode-based solutions.
What is the role of the DRN pin in MOSFET stress management for the LTC4380HDD-2#PBF?
The DRN pin senses VDS across the external MOSFET via RDRN and feeds this signal into an internal multiplier with ΔVSNS (ID). The resulting TMR current is proportional to instantaneous MOSFET power dissipation (VDS × ID), causing faster fault timeout under high-stress conditions - directly enforcing Safe Operating Area (SOA) compliance without fixed-time delays.
Is the LTC4380HDD-2#PBF AEC-Q100 qualified, and which stress test grades does it meet?
Yes, the LTC4380HDD-2#PBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. As an H-grade part, it meets Grade 1 temperature range (–40°C to +125°C ambient), along with required tests for human body model ESD (±2kV), latch-up (±100mA), and mechanical shock/vibration. Full qualification reports are available from Analog Devices upon request.
