Product details
Overview
LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-temperature, auto-retry surge stopper IC that controls an external N-channel MOSFET to protect downstream loads from automotive load dump (up to 250V), overvoltage, and overcurrent events. It features 8µA operating quiescent current, 4V–72V input range, adjustable gate clamp via external Zener, and fault timer with MOSFET stress acceleration. Used in 12V/24V automotive power rails requiring robust transient protection.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF pinout, LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF application, or LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade thermal performance (–40°C to 125°C), and real-world surge protection design context - all grounded in Analog Devices' Rev. C datasheet and official package documentation.
Technical Context
The LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF 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. Its GATE driver delivers regulated 11.5V above OUT and supports back-to-back MOSFET configurations for reverse input protection down to –60V.
This variant (–4 suffix) provides auto-retry behavior after fault timeout and uses externally adjustable gate clamping - no internal 31.5V/50V clamp - relying instead on VCC Zener clamping to set output limit. It operates across 4V–72V input and maintains 6µA shutdown current when ON pin is pulled low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments without derating. |
| Quiescent Current | 8 µA typical at 12V - enables always-on battery systems with multi-year standby life. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 72V - supports 12V, 24V, and 48V industrial/automotive rails with margin. |
| Fault Timer Behavior | Auto-retry (–4 variant) - cools down then restarts after fault; no manual reset required. |
| GATE Clamp Method | Externally adjustable via VCC Zener - enables precise output clamping from 18V to 86V. |
| Reverse Input Protection | –60V continuous - allows direct connection to reversed battery terminals without damage. |
| Overcurrent Threshold | 50 mV (SNS–OUT) rising to 62 mV during severe short - sets accurate, temperature-stable current limit. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (pin 11 = GND). RoHS-compliant, lead-free, tape-and-reel (#TRPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Device ground reference and thermal pad connection | Exposed pad must be connected to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and noise immunity. |
| VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 4V–72V; withstands –60V reverse; requires Zener clamp for >80V transients. |
| OUT | Output voltage sense node | Connects to MOSFET source; bypassed with ≥22µF capacitor for stability and ripple rejection. |
| SNS | Current sense input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor; sets 50mV/62mV current limit threshold. |
| DRN | MOSFET drain-source sense | Tracks VDS via external RDRN; feeds multiplier for MOSFET power-dissipation-based timing. |
| GATE | N-MOSFET gate drive output | Regulated 11.5V above OUT; clamped to VCC+13.5V; requires 47nF/33Ω RC compensation. |
| ON | Enable/shutdown control | 1.05V threshold; pulls part into 6µA shutdown when ≤0.99V; supports undervoltage detection. |
| SEL | Gate clamp select (inactive in –4) | Internally tied to GND per datasheet - unused; no internal clamp enabled for LTC4380-4 variants. |
| TMR | Fault timer integrator | Charges with MOSFET-stress-proportional current; trips at 1.215V; sets retry cool-down period. |
| FLT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low during overvoltage/overcurrent fault; sinks up to 3mA; signals system controller. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-retry fault recovery | Eliminates manual reset requirement after load dump or short-circuit; reduces system downtime. |
| Adjustable output clamping | Enables precise output voltage limiting (e.g., 27V, 45V, or custom values) using external VCC Zener. |
| Back-to-back MOSFET support | Allows reverse polarity protection without Schottky diode losses - saves power and board space. |
| MOSFET stress-accelerated timing | TMR current scales with VDS × ID, shortening fault timeout during high-power faults to preserve SOA. |
| Ultra-low 6µA shutdown current | Extends battery life in always-on telematics, ADAS sensors, and infotainment wake-up circuits. |
Applications
| Automotive Load Dump Protection | Industrial 24V Power Rail Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4380HDD-2#TRPBF | Fixed internal 31.5V/50V gate clamp; same –40°C to +125°C rating and auto-retry behavior. | Requires SEL pin configuration for clamp selection; no external Zener needed but less flexible output limiting. | Choose when fixed 27V/45V clamping suffices and board space for Zener is constrained. |
| LTC4381HDE-4#TRPBF | Same –4 auto-retry function, but adds integrated 100V N-MOSFET and 2.5A current capability; DFN-12 package. | Reduces BOM count and layout complexity; limited to lower current apps vs discrete MOSFET scalability of LTC4380. | Choose for compact, medium-current designs (<2.5A) where integration outweighs flexibility. |
Compared with LTC4380HDD-2#TRPBF, the LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF trades internal clamp simplicity for precise, wide-range output voltage control via Zener; compared with LTC4381HDE-4#TRPBF, it retains full discrete MOSFET scalability for high-current or high-voltage (>100V) applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF can handle?
The LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF supports a continuous input voltage range of 4V to 72V on the VCC pin. During transients such as automotive load dump, the VCC pin must be clamped externally (e.g., with a 68V Zener) to stay within its absolute maximum rating of 80V. The device itself withstands –60V reverse input continuously, making it suitable for battery-reversal scenarios.
How does the LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF differ from the LTC4380HDD-2#TRPBF?
The LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF uses externally adjustable gate clamping (no internal clamp), while the LTC4380HDD-2#TRPBF has selectable internal 31.5V/50V clamps set by the SEL pin. Both share the same –40°C to +125°C rating and auto-retry fault behavior, but only the LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF requires a VCC Zener to define output clamping voltage.
What is the purpose of the DRN pin on the LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF?
The DRN pin on the LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF senses the MOSFET's drain-to-source voltage (VDS) via an external resistor. Its current, combined with SNS–OUT voltage (proportional to ID), forms a multiplier signal that drives the TMR pin - enabling fault timing proportional to MOSFET power dissipation and improving safe operating area (SOA) protection.
Can the LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF be used without an external MOSFET?
No - the LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF is a controller IC and requires an external N-channel MOSFET to function. It provides gate drive, fault sensing, and timing control but contains no power switch. The MOSFET selection (e.g., FDB33N25) must match the application's voltage, current, and SOA requirements.
Does the LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF support reverse input protection?
Yes - the LTC4380HDD-4#TRPBF supports continuous reverse input down to –60V on the VCC pin and enables reverse polarity protection via back-to-back N-MOSFET configuration driven by the GATE pin. This eliminates the forward voltage drop and heat generation of Schottky diode solutions.
