LT8708-1 80V Synchronous 4-Switch Buck-Boost DC/DC Slave Controller for LT8708 Multiphase System FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Slave Chip of LT8708 to Deliver Additional Power The LT®8708-1 is a high performance buck-boost n Good Current Matching to the Average Output switching regulator controller that is paralleled with the Current of LT8708 Through Current Regulation LT8708 to add power and phases to an LT8708 system. n Easily Paralleled with LT8708 Through Four Pins The LT8708-1 always operates as a slave to the master n Synchronized Start-Up with LT8708 LT8708 and has the capability of delivering as much cur- n Same Conduction Modes as LT8708 rent or power as the master. One or more slaves can be n Synchronous Rectification: Up to 98% Efficiency connected to a single master, proportionally increasing n Frequency Range: 100kHz to 400kHz power and current capability of the system. n Available in 40-Lead (5mm × 8mm) QFN with High The LT8708-1 has the same conduction modes as LT8708, Voltage Pin Spacing allowing the LT8708-1 to conduct current and power in the same direction(s) as the master. The master controls APPLICATIONS the overall current and voltage limits for an LT8708 mul- n High Voltage Buck-Boost Converters tiphase system, and the slaves comply with these limits. n Bidirectional Charging Systems LT8708-1s can be easily paralleled with the LT8708 by n Automotive 48V Systems connecting four signals together. Two additional current All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. limits (forward VIN current and reverse VIN current) are available on each slave that can be set independently.
