Product details
Overview
LTC4380IMS-1#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 battery, and overcurrent events. It features 8µA operating current, fixed 31.5V/50V selectable gate clamp, –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, and MSOP-10 package. It is used in 12V/24V automotive power rails where sustained overvoltage must be clamped to ~27V or ~45V.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF application, or LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include gate clamp voltage selectability (SEL pin), latchoff fault behavior, reverse input protection to –60V, adjustable turn-on threshold (1.05V ON pin), and MOSFET stress-accelerated fault timing via TMR pin current proportional to VDS × ID.
Technical Context
The LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF implements a multiplier-based fault timer where TMR pin current scales with both MOSFET drain-source voltage (monitored at DRN) and load current (sensed via ΔVSNS), enabling dynamic SOA protection. Its internal 20µA charge pump regulates GATE to VOUT + 11.5V during normal operation, while internal Zener clamps limit GATE to 31.5V (SEL = GND) or 50V (SEL = VCC) for overvoltage limiting.
It uses an accurate 1.05V ON pin comparator for undervoltage lockout and shutdown control, reducing quiescent current to 6µA. Fault response differs by variant: LTC4380-1 (including IMS-1) latches off upon TMR threshold (1.215V) and requires ON pin reset or power cycle - no auto-retry - making it suitable for safety-critical systems requiring manual intervention after fault.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Current | 8 µA typical - enables always-on battery-powered applications without significant standby drain. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4 V to 80 V - supports 12V/24V/28V automotive systems and accommodates transients up to 80V on VCC. |
| Gate Clamp Options | 31.5 V (SEL = GND) or 50 V (SEL = VCC) - sets output clamp at ~27 V or ~45 V respectively, matching 12V and 24V system requirements. |
| Reverse Input Protection | –60 V - withstands reverse battery connection without damage, eliminating need for external series diode. |
| Fault Behavior | Latchoff (LTC4380-1 variant) - disables output permanently until ON pin is pulsed low ≥100 µs or power is cycled. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 50 mV (rising), 62 mV (severe short, OUT < 1.5 V) - defines precise load current limit via external sense resistor (e.g., 20 mΩ → 2.5 A nominal). |
| Package | 10-Lead MSOP - surface-mount, thermally enhanced, footprint compatible with industry-standard layout practices. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead Plastic MSOP (3mm × 3mm body, 0.5mm pitch), exposed pad optional for thermal relief. Operating ambient temperature range: –40°C to +85°C (I-grade).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DRN | MOSFET VDS sense input | Tracks OUT; current through RDRN is proportional to VDS, feeding multiplier for MOSFET stress-dependent fault timing. |
| VCC | Positive supply input | Accepts 4V–80V input; survives –60V reverse bias; powers internal circuitry and charge pump. |
| GATE | N-MOSFET gate driver output | Regulated to VOUT + 11.5V; clamped to 31.5V/50V (SEL-dependent); includes 17V internal clamp vs. OUT to prevent MOSFET overdrive. |
| SNS | Current sense amplifier input | Senses voltage across external sense resistor; controls GATE to maintain ΔVSNS = 50 mV (or 62 mV under severe short). |
| OUT | Output voltage sense reference | Connects to MOSFET source; referenced by SNS, GATE, and internal clamps; requires ≥22 µF local bypass. |
| ON | Enable/shutdown & UVLO input | 1.05 V threshold; open-drain-compatible; pulls part into 6 µA shutdown when < 0.99 V. |
| FLT | Open-drain fault indicator | Pulls low when TMR reaches 1.215 V; sinks up to 3 mA; signals latchoff condition requiring manual reset. |
| SEL | Gate clamp voltage select | GND = 31.5 V clamp; VCC/OUT = 50 V clamp - configures output overvoltage limit for 12V or 24V/28V systems. |
| TMR | Fault timer integrator node | Capacitor-connected node; current scales with MOSFET power dissipation; charges to 1.215 V to trigger latchoff. |
| GND | Device ground reference | Return path for all internal circuits; exposed pad may be connected to PCB ground plane for thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low operating quiescent current | 8 µA enables direct connection to vehicle battery for always-on ECU modules without excessive parasitic drain. |
| Selectable fixed gate clamp | 31.5 V / 50 V options via SEL pin eliminate need for external Zener or feedback network in standard 12V/24V designs. |
| Latchoff fault response | Prevents automatic re-engagement after overvoltage or overcurrent, supporting fail-safe system architecture requiring operator or host MCU intervention. |
| Reverse input tolerance | –60 V rating allows direct connection to battery terminals without series Schottky diode, reducing BOM count and forward drop loss. |
| MOSFET stress-accelerated timing | TMR current increases with VDS × ID, shortening fault timeout during high-power-dissipation events to keep MOSFET within SOA limits. |

FAQ
What is the function of the SEL pin on the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF?
The SEL pin on the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF selects the internal gate clamp voltage: grounding SEL sets a 31.5V clamp (for ~27V output in 12V systems), while connecting SEL to VCC or OUT selects a 50V clamp (for ~45V output in 24V/28V systems). This configuration determines the maximum output voltage during overvoltage events and is a defining feature of the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF variant.
Does the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF support reverse battery protection?
Yes, the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF supports reverse input protection down to –60V on the VCC pin without damage. It enables reverse-battery-tolerant designs by allowing back-to-back N-MOSFET configurations - eliminating the forward voltage drop and heat generation of Schottky diodes - a key capability confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Applications sections of the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF datasheet.
How does fault handling differ between LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF and LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF?
The LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF implements latchoff behavior: upon reaching the TMR fault threshold (1.215V), it shuts off the external MOSFET and holds it off indefinitely until the ON pin is pulled low for ≥100µs or power is cycled. In contrast, LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF performs auto-retry with cool-down timing. This latchoff behavior is intrinsic to the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF and ensures no unintended re-engagement after fault conditions.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF?
The LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF requires a minimum of 22µF ceramic or low-ESR capacitor placed as close as possible to the OUT pin, per the "OUT" pin function description. This capacitance stabilizes the output voltage sense node, prevents oscillation in the current limit loop, and ensures reliable startup and transient response - a requirement explicitly stated for the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF in the Pin Functions section of its datasheet.
Can the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF drive back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs?
Yes, the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF can drive back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs for reverse input protection, as confirmed in the Features and Pin Functions sections. Its GATE driver supports this topology by providing sufficient gate voltage headroom (VOUT + 11.5V regulation) and internal clamping to prevent shoot-through, eliminating the need for a series Schottky diode and its associated voltage drop and power loss - a verified capability of the LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF.
