DESCRIPTION

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

Controller with Flexible Bidirectional Capability

The 

LT

®

8708

 is a high performance buck-boost switching 

regulator controller that operates from an input voltage 

that can be above, below or equal to the output voltage. 

Features are included to simplify bidirectional power 

conversion in battery/capacitor backup systems and other 

applications that may need regulation of V

OUT

, V

IN

, I

OUT

and/or I

IN

. Forward and reverse current can be monitored 

and limited for the input and output sides of the converter. 

All four current limits (forward input, reverse input, forward 

output and reverse output) can be set independently using 

four resistors on the PCB.
The MODE pin can select between discontinuous conduc-

tion mode (DCM), continuous conduction mode (CCM), 

hybrid conduction mode (HCM) and Burst Mode

®

 operation. 

In combination with the DIR (direction) pin, the chip can be 

configured to process power only from V

IN

 to V

OUT

 or only 

from V

OUT

 to V

IN

. With a wide 2.8V to 80V input and 1.3V 

to 80V output range, the LT8708 is compatible with most 

solar, automotive, telecom and battery-powered systems.
