LTC3780 High Efficiency, Synchronous, 4-Switch Buck-Boost Controller FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Single Inductor Architecture Allows VIN Above, The LTC®3780 is a high performance buck-boost switch- Below or Equal to VOUT ing regulator controller that operates from input voltages n Wide VIN Range: 4V to 36V Operation above, below or equal to the output voltage. The constant n Synchronous Rectification: Up to 98% Efficiency frequency current mode architecture allows a phase- n Current Mode Control lockable frequency of up to 400kHz. With a wide 4V to n ± 1% Output Voltage Accuracy: 0.8V < VOUT < 30V 30V (36V maximum) input and output range and seamless n Phase-Lockable Fixed Frequency: 200kHz to 400kHz transfers between operating modes, the LTC3780 is ideal n Power Good Output Voltage Monitor for automotive, telecom and battery-powered systems. n Internal LDO for MOSFET Supply The operating mode of the controller is determined through n Quad N-Channel MOSFET Synchronous Drive the FCB pin. For boost operation, the FCB mode pin can n VOUT Disconnected from VIN During Shutdown select among Burst Mode® operation, discontinuous mode n Adjustable Soft-Start Current Ramping and forced continuous mode. During buck operation, the n Foldback Output Current Limiting FCB mode pin can select among skip-cycle mode, discon- n Selectable Low Current Modes tinuous mode and forced continuous mode. Burst Mode n Output Overvoltage Protection operation and skip-cycle mode provide high efficiency n Available in 24-Lead SSOP and Exposed Pad operation at light loads while forced continuous mode (5mm × 5mm) 32-Lead QFN Packages and discontinuous mode operate at a constant frequency. APPLICATIONS Fault protection is provided by an output overvoltage comparator and internal foldback current limiting.
