Product details
Overview
LTC4380IDD-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, latchoff fault behavior, and −40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. Used in 12V/24V vehicle power distribution systems with strict always-on power budgets.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF pinout, LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF application, or LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its adjustable gate clamp architecture (no internal 31.5V/50V clamp), latchoff-only fault response, −60V reverse input tolerance, 4V–72V operating range, and DFN-10 (3mm × 3mm) package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC4380IDD-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 instantaneous power dissipation. Its GATE driver regulates to VOUT + 11.5V and lacks internal gate-to-GND clamps-requiring external Zener clamping at VCC to set output voltage limits.
It uses an ON pin comparator for undervoltage detection (1.05V threshold) and shutdown control, reducing quiescent current to 6µA. The SEL pin is fixed to GND per -3 variant specification, disabling internal clamp selection logic and confirming fully external gate voltage control via VCC clamping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Voltage Range | 4V to 72V input - supports 12V/24V/28V automotive and industrial rails without external regulators. |
| Quiescent Current | 8µA typical - enables direct connection to vehicle battery for always-on monitoring without excessive drain. |
| Fault Response | Latchoff only - requires ON pin pulse <100µs or power cycle to reset after overvoltage/overcurrent event. |
| Reverse Input Protection | −60V - withstands reverse battery connection without damage or external diode. |
| Gate Drive Compliance | VGATE = VOUT + 11.5V max - defines maximum enhancement voltage; output clamp set externally via VCC Zener. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 50mV (rising), 62mV (severe short) - sets precise load current limit using external sense resistor (e.g., 20mΩ → 2.5A/3.1A). |
| Package | 10-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN - exposes thermal pad for efficient heat dissipation in high-power surge scenarios. |
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 | Common return for all internal circuits and exposed thermal pad; must be low-impedance for stable fault timing. |
| OUT | Output voltage sense | Connects to MOSFET source terminal; senses regulated output; bypass with ≥22µF capacitor for stability. |
| SNS | Current sense input | Connects to MOSFET source-side of sense resistor; monitors ΔVSNS to enforce 50/62mV current limit. |
| DRN | MOSFET drain-source sense | Tracks VDS via external RDRN; feeds multiplier to accelerate TMR charging during high-stress faults. |
| GATE | N-MOSFET gate drive | Drives external MOSFET gate; regulated to VOUT + 11.5V; requires ≥47nF + 33Ω RC compensation network. |
| VCC | Main supply input | Accepts 4V–72V; clamped externally (e.g., 68V Zener) to define GATE clamp and output limit for -3 variant. |
| ON | Enable/shutdown control | 1.05V threshold; open = enabled; <0.99V = shutdown (6µA IQ); pulsed low resets latched fault. |
| FLT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low during fault; sinks up to 3mA; signals latchoff condition to system controller or status LED. |
| TMR | Fault timer integration node | Capacitor-connected node; charges at rate proportional to MOSFET power dissipation; trips at 1.215V. |
| SEL | Gate clamp select (fixed) | Internally tied to GND for LTC4380-3 variants; disables internal 31.5V/50V clamp logic entirely. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable gate clamp architecture | No internal gate-to-GND clamp - full output voltage control achieved by clamping VCC (e.g., 68V Zener → ~63V output limit). |
| Latchoff-only fault behavior | Eliminates uncontrolled auto-retry cycles during persistent faults; ensures system-level intervention before recovery. |
| MOSFET stress-accelerated timing | TMR current scales with VDS × ID, shortening fault timeout under high-power conditions to keep MOSFET within SOA. |
| Reverse input tolerance | Withstands −60V on VCC without damage - replaces Schottky diode reverse protection with zero forward drop. |
| Ultra-low operating current | 8µA IQ enables direct battery connection in always-on telematics, ADAS, and infotainment modules. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4380IDD-1#TRPBF | Fixed 31.5V/50V internal gate clamp; SEL pin functional; same latchoff behavior. | Predefined clamp voltages simplify design for standard 12V/24V systems but lack flexibility for custom output limits. | Select when output clamping at 27V or 45V is sufficient and external Zener clamping is undesirable. |
| LTC4380IMS-3#TRPBF | Same -3 functionality but in MSOP-10 package; θJA = 160°C/W vs. DFN's 43°C/W. | Lower thermal performance limits continuous current handling; suitable for lower-power or space-constrained layouts. | Select when board real estate favors MSOP or existing layout uses MSOP footprints; verify thermal derating. |
Compared with LTC4380IDD-1#TRPBF, the LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF trades internal clamp convenience for full external voltage control, while versus LTC4380IMS-3#TRPBF it delivers superior thermal management in high-surge-duty applications due to its DFN package's lower junction-to-ambient resistance.

FAQ
What is the gate clamp configuration of the LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF?
The LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF has no internal gate-to-ground clamp. Its GATE pin is regulated to VOUT + 11.5V, and output voltage limiting is achieved solely by clamping the VCC pin with an external Zener diode (e.g., 68V). This allows precise, application-specific output clamping without fixed thresholds.
Does the LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF support auto-retry after a fault?
No. The LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF implements latchoff-only fault behavior. Once tripped by overvoltage or overcurrent, the device remains off until the ON pin is pulsed low for at least 100µs or power is cycled. This ensures deterministic system-level fault handling without uncontrolled restart attempts.
How does the LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF achieve reverse input protection?
The LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF withstands −60V on the VCC pin without damage, eliminating the need for external Schottky diodes. When reverse voltage is applied, internal protection structures block conduction while preserving functionality - reducing forward voltage drop, power loss, and board area versus discrete diode solutions.
What is the role of the DRN pin in the LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF?
The DRN pin senses MOSFET VDS via an external resistor (RDRN) and feeds this signal into an internal multiplier. Combined with SNS–OUT current sense, it generates TMR pin current proportional to MOSFET power dissipation - enabling faster fault timeout under high-stress conditions and protecting the MOSFET's safe operating area.
Can the LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF operate from a 4V input supply?
Yes. The LTC4380IDD-3#TRPBF operates from 4V to 72V on VCC. At 4V, total supply current is 22–35µA (depending on grade), and gate drive capability remains functional - enabling use in brownout-prone automotive start-stop systems and low-voltage industrial sensors.
