Product details
Overview
LTC4380HMS-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 250Vpk, and overcurrent faults. It features fixed 31.5V/50V gate clamp selection (SEL-configurable), 8µA operating current, –40°C to 125°C extended temperature rating, and auto-retry fault behavior. It is used in 12V/24V automotive power rails where robust transient suppression and battery-backed operation are required.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4380HMS-2#PBF datasheet, LTC4380HMS-2#PBF pinout, LTC4380HMS-2#PBF application, or LTC4380HMS-2#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include gate clamp voltage configuration (SEL pin logic), TMR capacitor-based fault timing, reverse input protection to –60V, latchoff vs. auto-retry behavior, and compatibility with high-voltage N-channel MOSFETs rated ≥72V VDS.
Technical Context
The LTC4380HMS-2#PBF implements a multiplier-based fault timer that generates TMR pin current proportional to both MOSFET VDS (via DRN pin) and ID (via SNS–OUT differential voltage), enabling dynamic SOA protection. Its internal 20µA charge pump regulates GATE to VOUT + 11.5V during normal operation, while clamping GATE to either 31.5V or 50V (SEL-selectable) during overvoltage events.
It supports auto-retry fault recovery with a 15-cycle cool-down sequence on the TMR pin, discharging to 100mV before automatic restart - distinct from latchoff versions (–1/–3). The ON pin serves dual function: undervoltage detection (1.05V threshold) and shutdown control, reducing quiescent current to 6µA when pulled low.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4V to 72V input supply - supports 12V/24V/28V automotive systems and industrial rails up to 72V. |
| Quiescent Current | 8µA typical at 12V - enables always-on battery-powered applications without excessive drain. |
| Gate Clamp Options | 31.5V (SEL = GND) or 50V (SEL = VCC) - sets output clamp ~27V or ~45V respectively for 12V/24V system protection. |
| Fault Behavior | Auto-retry with cool-down - automatically recovers after fault clears; no manual reset required. |
| Reverse Input Rating | –60V - withstands reverse battery connection without damage. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 50mV (rising), 62mV (severe short, VOUT < 1.5V) - defines precise overcurrent trip point via external sense resistor. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and harsh industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead Plastic MSOP (3mm × 3mm), exposed pad (GND), –40°C to +125°C operating range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GATE | N-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Regulated 20µA charge pump drives gate; clamped to 31.5V/50V (SEL-dependent) during overvoltage. |
| DRN | MOSFET drain-source sense input | Tracks OUT; current through RDRN ∝ VDS, feeds multiplier for MOSFET stress-aware fault timing. |
| SNS | Current sense amplifier input (+) | Monitors voltage across external sense resistor; controls gate to hold ΔVSNS = 50mV/62mV. |
| OUT | Output voltage sense reference | Low-impedance return for SNS and DRN; bypass with ≥22µF capacitor for stability. |
| VCC | Main supply input | 4V–72V operating range; tolerates –60V reverse; requires Zener clamp for >80V transients. |
| ON | Enable/shutdown & UVLO input | 1.05V threshold; open = enabled; pulled low = 6µA shutdown; also detects input undervoltage. |
| FLT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low during overvoltage/overcurrent fault; sinks up to 3mA; signals active protection state. |
| SEL | Gate clamp voltage select | GND = 31.5V clamp; VCC/OUT = 50V clamp - configures output clamp level for 12V or 24V systems. |
| TMR | Fault timer integration node | Capacitor-connected pin; charges/discharges based on MOSFET stress; triggers FLT and GATE off at 1.215V. |
| GND | Device ground reference | Reference for all analog circuitry; exposed pad must be connected to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance. |
Key Features

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#PBF | Same functionality and specs, but in 3mm × 3mm DFN package with θJA = 43°C/W (vs. MSOP's 160°C/W). | Better thermal performance in high-power-density layouts; requires different PCB footprint and reflow profile. | Select for thermally constrained designs needing lower junction-to-ambient resistance. |
| LTC4380IMS-2#PBF | Identical MSOP package and pinout, but rated for –40°C to +85°C (vs. H-grade's +125°C). | Not qualified for under-hood automotive use; suitable for cabin or industrial ambient environments. | Select when full AEC-Q100 H-grade temperature range is not required, reducing cost. |
Compared with LTC4380HDD-2#PBF, the LTC4380HMS-2#PBF offers superior layout flexibility in space-constrained boards but higher thermal resistance; compared with LTC4380IMS-2#PBF, it delivers guaranteed operation at 125°C ambient - critical for engine bay or high-temperature industrial enclosures.

FAQ
What is the gate clamp voltage configuration for LTC4380HMS-2#PBF?
The LTC4380HMS-2#PBF supports two fixed internal gate clamp voltages: 31.5V when the SEL pin is tied to GND (for 12V systems), and 50V when SEL is tied to VCC or OUT (for 24V/28V systems). This directly determines the maximum clamped output voltage - approximately 27V or 45V respectively - and is confirmed in the device's Electrical Characteristics table and Pin Functions description.
Does LTC4380HMS-2#PBF support auto-retry or latchoff fault behavior?
LTC4380HMS-2#PBF implements auto-retry fault behavior. Upon overvoltage or overcurrent fault, it enters a cool-down phase on the TMR pin (15-cycle charge/discharge sequence), then automatically restarts when TMR discharges to 100mV. This is inherent to the "–2" suffix and distinguishes it from latchoff versions (–1/–3), which require ON pin pulse or power cycle to recover.
What is the maximum reverse input voltage the LTC4380HMS-2#PBF can withstand?
The LTC4380HMS-2#PBF is rated for reverse input voltage down to –60V on the VCC pin, as specified in Absolute Maximum Ratings. This allows direct connection to automotive battery inputs without external reverse-polarity protection components, and is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C operating range.
How does the TMR pin function in LTC4380HMS-2#PBF?
The TMR pin in LTC4380HMS-2#PBF integrates a current proportional to MOSFET power dissipation (VDS × ID). When TMR voltage reaches 1.215V, the GATE turns off and FLT pulls low. During auto-retry, TMR then cycles between ~1.215V and ~3.4V for 15 times before discharging to 100mV to enable restart - providing adaptive, stress-aware fault timing confirmed in the Operation section and Typical Performance Characteristics.
Can LTC4380HMS-2#PBF drive back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs for reverse input protection?
Yes, the LTC4380HMS-2#PBF GATE pin can drive back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs to implement bidirectional reverse input protection - eliminating Schottky diode voltage drop and conduction loss. This capability is explicitly stated in the Features section and supported by the GATE drive architecture, which regulates relative to OUT and tolerates reverse VCC down to –60V.
