DESCRIPTION

80V Synchronous 4-Switch Buck-Boost DC/DC  

Slave Controller for LT8708 Multiphase System 

The 

LT

®

8708-1

 is a high performance buck-boost 

switching regulator controller that is paralleled with the 

LT8708 to add power and phases to an LT8708 system. 

The LT8708-1 always operates as a slave to the master 

LT8708 and has the capability of delivering as much cur-

rent or power as the master. One or more slaves can be 

connected to a single master, proportionally increasing 

power and current capability of the system.
The LT8708-1 has the same conduction modes as LT8708, 

allowing the LT8708-1 to conduct current and power in 

the same direction(s) as the master. The master controls 

the overall current and voltage limits for an LT8708 mul-

tiphase system, and the slaves comply with these limits.
LT8708-1s can be easily paralleled with the LT8708 by 

connecting four signals together. Two additional current 

limits (forward V

IN

 current and reverse V

IN

 current) are 

available on each slave that can be set independently.
