Product details
Overview
LTC4380IDD-3#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, input overvoltage (up to 72V), and overcurrent events. It features adjustable gate clamp voltage (via external Zener on VCC), 8µA operating current, –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, and latches off during faults. Used in 12V/24V vehicle power distribution systems with battery backup.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4380IDD-3#PBF datasheet, LTC4380IDD-3#PBF pinout, LTC4380IDD-3#PBF application, or LTC4380IDD-3#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include gate clamp configurability, latchoff fault behavior, reverse input protection to –60V, MOSFET stress acceleration via TMR-based multiplier, and compatibility with high-side N-MOSFET architectures in always-on automotive modules.
Technical Context
The LTC4380IDD-3#PBF implements a voltage-controlled gate drive with internal 20µA charge pump regulating GATE to VOUT + 11.5V, while relying entirely on external Zener clamping at VCC for output voltage limiting-no internal gate-to-GND clamp exists. Its TMR pin integrates a current proportional to both VDS (via DRN) and ID (via SNS), enabling MOSFET power-dissipation–adaptive fault timing.
It uses an ON pin comparator with 1.05V threshold and 45mV hysteresis for undervoltage detection and shutdown control, reducing quiescent current to 6µA. Fault response is latchoff-only (no auto-retry), requiring ON pin pulse <100µs or power cycle to reset-distinct from -2/-4 variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4V to 72V input; supports 12V/24V/28V automotive systems with extended surge tolerance |
| Quiescent Current | 8µA typical at 25°C; enables direct connection to vehicle battery without excessive drain |
| Fault Response | Latchoff only; requires ON pin pulse or power cycle-no automatic retry reduces thermal cycling stress |
| Gate Clamp Method | Externally adjustable via Zener diode on VCC; no internal gate-to-GND clamp (LTC4380-3 variant) |
| Reverse Input Protection | Withstands –60V reverse battery; eliminates need for external Schottky diode in high-side switch |
| Current Limit Threshold | 50mV (SNS–OUT) at OUT > 3V; rises to 62mV when OUT < 1.5V for short-circuit hardening |
| TMR Fault Threshold | 1.215V; triggers MOSFET turn-off and FLT assertion when integrated MOSFET stress exceeds safe operating area |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead (3mm × 3mm) Plastic DFN (DD package), exposed pad connected to GND. Thermal resistance θJA = 43°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Device ground reference and exposed pad connection | Must be low-impedance PCB plane; exposed pad improves thermal performance and EMI immunity |
| VCC | Main supply input (4V–72V) | Accepts reverse voltage down to –60V; requires external Zener for overvoltage clamping (LTC4380-3) |
| OUT | Output voltage sense node | Connects to MOSFET source; bypass with ≥22µF capacitor near pin to stabilize current limit loop |
| SNS | Current sense input | Monitors voltage drop across external sense resistor; ΔVSNS limited to ±5V maximum |
| DRN | MOSFET drain-source sense | Tracks OUT; current through RDRN ∝ VDS for MOSFET stress calculation |
| GATE | N-MOSFET gate driver output | Regulated to VOUT + 11.5V; clamped to VCC + 13.5V; requires 47nF/33Ω RC compensation |
| ON | Enable/shutdown and UVLO input | 1.05V threshold with 45mV hysteresis; pulls low <100µs to reset latchoff fault |
| SEL | Gate clamp select (fixed versions only) | Internally tied to GND in LTC4380-3; unused but must be grounded per datasheet |
| FLT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low during fault; sinks up to 3mA; high-Z otherwise |
| TMR | Fault timer integrator | Capacitor-connected node; current scales with MOSFET power dissipation; 1.215V trip point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Output Clamping | Enabled by external Zener on VCC-supports precise clamp voltages from 18V to 86V without internal fixed options |
| Latchoff Fault Behavior | Prevents uncontrolled cycling during sustained overvoltage; ensures system remains safe until deliberate reset |
| Reverse Input Protection | –60V rating eliminates series Schottky diode, reducing forward drop, heat, and board space in battery-fed systems |
| MOSFET Stress Acceleration | TMR current multiplies VDS × ID, shortening fault timeout under high-power stress-protects MOSFET SOA |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 8µA operation enables use in always-on automotive modules (e.g., telematics, ADAS sensors) without battery drain |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4380IMS-3#PBF | Same functionality and electrical specs; MSOP-10 package instead of DFN-10 | Preferred for prototyping or manual assembly; larger footprint eases soldering and probing | Select when thermal performance is less critical than layout flexibility or hand-soldering feasibility |
| LTC4380HDD-3#PBF | Identical pinout and function; rated for –40°C to +125°C ambient vs. –40°C to +85°C | Required for under-hood automotive locations or high-ambient industrial enclosures | Choose when operating junction temperature exceeds 125°C or AEC-Q100 H-grade qualification is mandated |
Compared with LTC4380IMS-3#PBF, the LTC4380IDD-3#PBF offers superior thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W vs. 160°C/W) in space-constrained layouts; compared with LTC4380HDD-3#PBF, it trades extended temperature range for lower cost and sufficient robustness in cabin-mounted electronics.

FAQ
What is the gate clamp configuration for LTC4380IDD-3#PBF?
The LTC4380IDD-3#PBF has no internal gate-to-GND clamp-it is an LTC4380-3 variant. Output voltage clamping is achieved exclusively by placing a Zener diode between VCC and GND. The GATE pin is regulated to VOUT + 11.5V and clamped to VCC + 13.5V. This allows precise, externally set clamp voltages from 18V to 86V, unlike fixed 31.5V/50V options in -1/-2 versions.
Does LTC4380IDD-3#PBF support auto-retry after overvoltage fault?
No. The LTC4380IDD-3#PBF implements latchoff-only fault behavior. Once the TMR pin reaches 1.215V and the MOSFET turns off, LTC4380IDD-3#PBF remains latched until the ON pin is pulled low for at least 100µs or power is cycled. Auto-retry is exclusive to LTC4380-2 and LTC4380-4 variants.
What is the maximum reverse input voltage the LTC4380IDD-3#PBF can withstand?
The LTC4380IDD-3#PBF withstands –60V applied to the VCC pin relative to GND, with ON and SEL pins open or biased within their absolute ratings. This enables direct reverse-battery protection in automotive applications without external diodes-reducing voltage drop, heat, and component count in high-side switch designs.
How does the TMR pin current scale with MOSFET stress in LTC4380IDD-3#PBF?
In LTC4380IDD-3#PBF, the TMR pin current is generated by an internal multiplier that scales with both VDS (measured via DRN pin current) and ID (measured via ΔVSNS). Higher MOSFET power dissipation produces proportionally higher TMR current, causing faster charging of CTMR and shorter fault timeout-ensuring the MOSFET stays within its safe operating area during severe transients.
What package and thermal characteristics apply to LTC4380IDD-3#PBF?
LTC4380IDD-3#PBF uses a 10-lead 3mm × 3mm plastic DFN (DD) package with exposed pad. Its thermal resistance is θJA = 43°C/W (JEDEC standard board). The exposed pad must be connected to a solid GND plane for optimal thermal performance and EMI suppression. Maximum junction temperature is 135°C.
