Product details
Overview
LTC4380HDD-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, overvoltage (up to 72V input), and overcurrent events. It features adjustable gate clamp voltage, 8µA operating current, –40°C to 125°C temperature grade, and 10-pin 3mm × 3mm DFN package. Used in battery-powered automotive ECUs requiring robust transient protection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF pinout, LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF application, or LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable gate clamp architecture (no internal 31.5V/50V clamp), latchoff fault behavior, reverse input protection to –60V, 4V–72V operating range, and H-grade automotive qualification.
Technical Context
The LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF implements a multiplier-based fault timer where TMR pin current scales with both MOSFET VDS (via DRN pin) and ID (via SNS–OUT differential), enabling dynamic SOA protection proportional to real-time power dissipation. Its GATE driver operates as a regulated charge pump (VGATE = VOUT + 11.5V) without fixed internal gate-to-GND clamps-clamping is fully external via VCC Zener.
It uses an ON pin comparator for undervoltage detection (1.05V threshold) and shutdown control, reducing quiescent current to 6µA. The SEL pin is internally tied to GND per -3 variant specification, disabling internal clamp selection logic and confirming externally adjustable operation only.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4V to 72V input - supports 12V/24V/28V automotive systems and industrial rails up to 72V without external regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 8µA typical at 25°C - enables always-on battery monitoring and low-power wake-up circuits in automotive modules. |
| Fault Response | Latchoff behavior - output remains off after overvoltage/overcurrent until ON pin pulsed low ≥100µs or power cycled; prevents uncontrolled retries during sustained faults. |
| Reverse Input Protection | Withstands –60V on VCC - eliminates need for external series diode or TVS in reverse-battery scenarios. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 50mV (rising), 62mV (severe short, OUT < 1.5V) - sets precise, temperature-stable current limit via external sense resistor (e.g., 20mΩ → 2.5A/3.1A). |
| Package | 10-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN with exposed pad - thermally optimized for high-power dissipation in compact automotive PCB layouts. |
| Temperature Grade | H-grade (–40°C to +125°C ambient) - qualified for under-hood ECU placement per AEC-Q100 requirements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 = GND, optional PCB connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Device ground reference | Primary return path for all internal circuitry and exposed pad; must be low-impedance for stable fault timing and thermal performance. |
| VCC | Positive supply input | Accepts 4V–72V; withstands –60V reverse; requires external Zener clamp for overvoltage protection (no internal clamp in -3 variant). |
| OUT | Output voltage sense | Connects to MOSFET source; senses regulated output; bypassed with ≥22µF capacitor for stability and transient response. |
| SNS | Current sense input | Connects to MOSFET source-side of sense resistor; monitors ΔVSNS for current limiting; limited to ±5V differential vs OUT. |
| DRN | MOSFET drain-source sense | Tracks OUT; develops current proportional to VDS across RDRN; enables power-dissipation-based fault timing. |
| GATE | N-MOSFET gate drive | Regulated charge pump output (VOUT + 11.5V); clamped to VCC + 13.5V only - no internal GND-referenced clamp (LTC4380-3 specific). |
| ON | Enable/shutdown & UVLO input | 1.05V threshold; pulls device into 6µA shutdown when < 0.99V; supports high-voltage enable (up to 80V) and reverse-battery tolerance. |
| SEL | Gate clamp select | Tied internally to GND in LTC4380-3 - disables internal clamp selection logic; confirms externally adjustable operation only. |
| FLT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low during latched-off fault state; sinks up to 3mA; signals persistent overvoltage/overcurrent condition to system controller. |
| TMR | Fault timer capacitor node | Integrates scaled VDS×ID current; charges to 1.215V to trigger latchoff; requires X7R capacitor (e.g., 8.2µF) for accurate timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable gate clamp architecture | No internal 31.5V/50V gate-to-GND clamp - full control via external VCC Zener (e.g., 68V) enables precise output clamping from 18V to 86V. |
| Latchoff fault behavior | Eliminates uncontrolled auto-retry cycles during sustained overvoltage (e.g., load dump), preventing MOSFET thermal runaway and ensuring deterministic system recovery. |
| Reverse input protection to –60V | Enables direct connection to vehicle battery without series diode, reducing voltage drop, heat, and BOM count in always-on modules. |
| Multiplier-based fault timer | TMR current scales with MOSFET VDS × ID, shortening fault timeout under high stress - keeps MOSFET within SOA during combined overvoltage + overload events. |
| H-grade AEC-Q100 qualification | Validated for –40°C to +125°C operation - suitable for engine control units, ADAS domain controllers, and other under-hood applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4380HDD-1#TRPBF | Fixed internal 31.5V/50V gate clamp (SEL-selectable); same H-grade, latchoff behavior, and package. | Preconfigured for 12V (27V clamp) or 24V/28V (45V clamp) systems; no external Zener required for basic clamping. | Select when fixed clamp voltages meet system requirements and external component count reduction is prioritized over flexibility. |
| LTC4380HMS-3#TRPBF | Same -3 functionality and electrical specs, but in 10-lead MSOP package (5.0mm × 4.4mm, θJA = 160°C/W). | Lower thermal performance and larger footprint; suited for prototyping or space-tolerant industrial boards where DFN reflow is constrained. | Select only if MSOP assembly infrastructure exists and thermal derating margins allow for higher junction temperatures. |
Compared with LTC4380HDD-1#TRPBF, the LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF trades internal clamp convenience for full external adjustability - critical when precise output clamping (e.g., 36V for 24V systems with margin) or VCC filtering integration is required. Versus LTC4380HMS-3#TRPBF, the DFN package delivers superior thermal resistance (θJA = 43°C/W) essential for high-current automotive deployments.

FAQ
What is the gate clamp configuration of LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF?
The LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF has no internal gate-to-GND clamp - it relies entirely on external clamping of the VCC pin (e.g., via Zener diode) to set the effective gate clamp voltage. This enables fully adjustable output clamping from 18V to 86V, unlike the fixed 31.5V/50V options in LTC4380-1/-2 variants. The SEL pin is internally tied to GND to disable clamp selection logic.
Does LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF support auto-retry after fault conditions?
No. The LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF implements latchoff fault behavior: once the TMR pin reaches 1.215V due to overvoltage or overcurrent, the MOSFET turns off and remains latched off until the ON pin is pulled low for at least 100µs or power is cycled. This prevents uncontrolled restart attempts during sustained faults, distinguishing it from LTC4380-2/-4 auto-retry variants.
What is the maximum reverse input voltage rating for LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF?
The LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF is rated for –60V reverse input on the VCC pin, verified across the full –40°C to +125°C temperature range. This allows direct connection to automotive batteries without external reverse-polarity protection diodes, eliminating forward voltage drop and associated power loss in always-on systems.
How does the fault timer in LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF respond to MOSFET stress?
The fault timer in LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF uses a multiplier circuit that generates TMR pin current proportional to both MOSFET VDS (sensed at DRN) and ID (sensed via ΔVSNS). Higher power dissipation accelerates TMR charging, shortening the fault timeout - this dynamically constrains MOSFET operation within its safe operating area during combined overvoltage and overload events.
What package and thermal characteristics apply to LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF?
LTC4380HDD-3#TRPBF uses a 10-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 11 = GND). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 43°C/W, significantly lower than the MSOP variant (θJA = 160°C/W), enabling higher continuous current capability in compact automotive PCB layouts with standard 2-oz copper and thermal vias.
