FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
80V Synchronous 4-Switch Buck-Boost DC/DC
Controller with Flexible Bidirectional Capability
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.
