Product details
Overview
LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a low-quiescent-current (8µA) 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 fixed 31.5V/50V gate clamp selection via SEL pin, adjustable fault timing via TMR capacitor, and operates across 4V–72V input with –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range. Used in 12V/24V vehicle power distribution systems requiring robust transient suppression.
For engineers reviewing the LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF datasheet, LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF pinout, LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF application, or LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated MSOP-10 package details, confirmed AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive use, and real-world design values for gate drive compliance, current limit accuracy, and fault timer behavior under MOSFET stress conditions.
Technical Context
The LTC4380IMS-2#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 proportional to MOSFET power dissipation. Its internal 20µA charge pump regulates GATE to VOUT + 11.5V, while dual gate clamp options (31.5V/50V referenced to GND) are selected by SEL pin state - grounded for 31.5V, tied to VCC for 50V.
This variant (–2 suffix) supports auto-retry fault recovery: after TMR reaches 1.215V and shuts off the MOSFET, it enters a cool-down phase with 2µA TMR pull-up/pull-down, cycling 15 times between 3.4V and 1.215V before discharging to 100mV and re-enabling GATE. Unlike latch-off variants (–1/–3), no ON pin reset pulse or power cycle is required for recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quiescent Current | 8µA typical operating supply current - enables always-on battery-powered systems without significant drain. |
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 72V - supports 12V and 24V/28V automotive systems and industrial supplies up to 72V. |
| Gate Clamp Options | 31.5V or 50V (SEL = GND or VCC) - sets output clamping at ~27V or ~45V respectively, matching 12V/24V system safety margins. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 50mV (SNS–OUT), rising to 62mV when OUT < 1.5V - provides accurate, adaptive short-circuit protection with enhanced stress handling. |
| Fault Timer Threshold | 1.215V on TMR pin - triggers MOSFET turn-off and FLT assertion; cool-down and auto-retry enabled per –2 configuration. |
| Reverse Input Protection | Withstands –60V on VCC - eliminates need for external reverse-battery diode in harsh automotive environments. |
| Package | 10-Lead MSOP - thermally enhanced surface-mount package with exposed pad option; θJA = 160°C/W. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-Lead Plastic MSOP (3mm × 3mm), exposed pad (GND), rated for –40°C to +85°C operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Device Ground Reference | Primary ground return; exposed pad must be connected to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. |
| VCC | Main Supply Input | Accepts 4V–72V input; withstands –60V reverse; internal clamps protect against transients beyond 80V. |
| OUT | Output Voltage Sense | Senses regulated output; bypassed with ≥22µF capacitor; internal clamp limits GATE–OUT to 17V. |
| SNS | Current Sense Input | Connects to high-side of sense resistor; monitors ΔVSNS for 50mV/62mV current limiting; ±5V absolute range. |
| DRN | MOSFET Drain–Source Monitor | Tracks VDS via external RDRN; generates TMR current proportional to MOSFET power dissipation. |
| GATE | N-Channel MOSFET Gate Driver | 20µA charge pump drives gate to VOUT + 11.5V; clamped to 31.5V/50V (SEL-dependent) or VCC + 13.5V. |
| ON | Enable/Shutdown Control | 1.05V threshold; open = enable; <0.99V = shutdown (6µA IQ); also serves as undervoltage detector. |
| SEL | Gate Clamp Voltage Select | GND = 31.5V clamp; VCC/OUT = 50V clamp - configures output clamping for 12V or 24V/28V systems. |
| TMR | Fault Timer Integration Node | Capacitor-to-ground sets fault timeout and cool-down period; 1.215V trip point initiates auto-retry sequence. |
| FLT | Open-Drain Fault Indicator | Pulls low during overvoltage/overcurrent faults; sinks up to 3mA; high-Z when active or recovering. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-retry fault recovery | Enables automatic restart after overvoltage/overcurrent events without manual reset or power cycle - critical for unattended automotive modules. |
| Adjustable MOSFET stress timing | TMR current scales with VDS × ID, shortening fault timeout under high-power dissipation to keep MOSFET within SOA limits. |
| Reverse input protection to –60V | Eliminates need for series Schottky diode, reducing voltage drop, heat, and BOM count in battery-connected systems. |
| Low 8µA operating current | Supports always-on vehicle subsystems (e.g., telematics, alarm controllers) with minimal battery drain over extended idle periods. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade I) | Validated for –40°C to +85°C operation with automotive-grade reliability testing - suitable for engine bay and cabin electronics. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC4380IMS-1#TRPBF | Latch-off fault behavior (no auto-retry); identical pinout, specs, and package. | Requires ON pin reset pulse or power cycle after fault - suited for safety-critical systems needing explicit operator intervention. | Select when deterministic fault lockout is required; avoid if autonomous recovery is needed. |
| LTC4380HMS-2#TRPBF | Extended temperature range (–40°C to +125°C); otherwise identical functionality and pin compatibility. | Rated for under-hood automotive locations with higher ambient temperatures; same auto-retry behavior. | Choose for engine control units or ADAS sensors operating above +85°C ambient. |
Compared with LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF, the IMS-1 offers fail-safe latching but requires external reset, while the HMS-2 extends thermal capability without altering fault response - making IMS-2 optimal for cabin-mounted modules needing hands-free recovery within industrial temperature limits.

FAQ
What is the gate clamp voltage configuration for LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF?
The LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF supports two fixed gate clamp voltages: 31.5V when the SEL pin is grounded, and 50V when SEL is tied to VCC or OUT. This directly determines output clamping at ~27V or ~45V respectively, aligning with 12V and 24V/28V automotive system safety thresholds. The clamp is referenced to GND and is internal - no external components are required to set these values.
How does the auto-retry feature work in LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF during overvoltage events?
In LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF, when the TMR pin charges to 1.215V due to overvoltage, the MOSFET turns off and FLT asserts low. The device then enters a cool-down phase: TMR cycles 15 times between 3.4V and 1.215V using 2µA pull-up/pull-down currents, finally discharging to 100mV before automatically re-enabling GATE. No ON pin pulse or power cycle is needed - enabling fully autonomous recovery.
Can LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF be used with reverse battery input?
Yes - LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF withstands –60V on the VCC pin without damage, enabling direct connection to vehicle batteries without external reverse-polarity protection diodes. This eliminates forward voltage drop, conduction losses, and thermal concerns associated with Schottky solutions, while maintaining full functionality during jump-start scenarios.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitance for LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF?
LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF requires a minimum of 22µF ceramic or polymer capacitor placed directly at the OUT pin, as close as possible to the package. This stabilizes the output voltage sense node, ensures proper current limit amplifier response, and prevents oscillation during fast load transients. Lower values risk instability and inaccurate current limiting.
Is LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes - LTC4380IMS-2#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade I (–40°C to +85°C), with full automotive reliability testing including HTOL, TC, UHAST, and ESD. It is designated for automotive applications in passenger compartments and non-engine-bay locations, and carries the #TRPBF tape-and-reel packaging compliant with automotive logistics standards.
