The LT8722 is a high performance, high efficiency, monolithic full bridge DC/DC converter. One side of the full bridge is driven by a pulse width modulation (PWM) buck power stage, while the other side of the full bridge is driven by a linear power stage. The LT8722 can deliver up to ±54W1 of power to its load while only requiring a single inductor. An integrated 25-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is used to control the LT8722 output voltage. Two additional 9-bit DACs control the positive and negative output current limits. An analog output telemetry pin can be used to monitor SPI selectable parameters such as VIN, VOUT, IOUT or the LT8722 junction temperature. The serial peripheral interface (SPI) can be used to configure and control the LT8722 allowing for flexibility to set the desired output voltage, output current limits, voltage limits, switching frequency and control ON/OFF behavior. The SPI operates at up to 10MHz allowing for fast readback and control. The LT8722 operates from a single 3.1V to 15V supply. Silent Switcher techniques are used to minimize EMI/EMC emissions while delivering high efficiency at high switching frequencies. The LT8722 is available in a 3mm × 3mm LQFN package.

LT8722 | Monolithic Thermoelectric Cooler Driver

Product Details

Demonstration circuit 3145A demonstrates a high efficiency thermoelectric cooler driver and features the LT8722 monolithic driver.

The input voltage range of the DC3145A is from 3.1V to 15V and the output is a SPI programmable differential voltage output. The maximum output current is 4A. The switching frequency SPI programmable from 500kHz to 3MHz.

The LT8722 is controlled through an SPI interface and therefore the demonstration circuit is also setup to interface through SPI. For demonstration purposes the manual provides instruction on how to connect the DC2026C Linduino board to monitor and control the DC3145A with a PC using a command line Arduino IDE interface.
