LT8708 80V Synchronous 4-Switch Buck-Boost DC/DC Controller with Flexible Bidirectional Capability FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Single Inductor Allows VIN Above, Below, or The LT®8708 is a high performance buck-boost switching Equal to VOUT regulator controller that operates from an input voltage n Six Independent Forms of Regulation that can be above, below or equal to the output voltage. n VIN Current (Forward and Reverse) Features are included to simplify bidirectional power n VOUT Current (Forward and Reverse) conversion in battery/capacitor backup systems and other n VIN and VOUT Voltage applications that may need regulation of VOUT, VIN, IOUT, n Forward and Reverse Discontinuous Conduction and/or IIN. Forward and reverse current can be monitored Mode Supported and limited for the input and output sides of the converter. n Supports MODE and DIR Pin Changes While Switching All four current limits (forward input, reverse input, forward n VINCHIP Range 2.8V (Need EXTVCC > 6.4V) to 80V output and reverse output) can be set independently using n VOUT Range: 1.3V to 80V four resistors on the PCB. n Synchronous Rectification: Up to 99% Efficiency The MODE pin can select between discontinuous conduc- n Available in 40-Lead (5mm × 8mm) QFN with High tion mode (DCM), continuous conduction mode (CCM), Voltage Pin Spacing hybrid conduction mode (HCM) and Burst Mode® operation. In combination with the DIR (direction) pin, the chip can be APPLICATIONS configured to process power only from VIN to VOUT or only n from V High Voltage Buck-Boost Converters OUT to VIN. With a wide 2.8V to 80V input and 1.3V n to 80V output range, the LT8708 is compatible with most Bidirectional Charging System n solar, automotive, telecom and battery-powered systems.
