Product Details

The LTC3780 is a high performance buck-boost switching regulator controller that operates from input voltages above, below or equal to the output voltage. The constant frequency current mode architecture allows a phase-lockable frequency of up to 400kHz. With a wide 4V to 30V (36V maximum) input and output range and seamless transfers between operating modes, the LTC3780 is ideal for automotive, telecom and battery-powered systems.

The operating mode of the controller is determined through the FCB pin. For boost operation, the FCB mode pin can select among Burst Mode® operation, discontinuous mode and forced continuous mode. During buck operation, the FCB mode pin can select among skip-cycle mode, discontinuous mode and forced continuous mode. Burst Mode operation and skip-cycle mode provide high efficiency operation at light loads while forced continuous mode and discontinuous mode operate at a constant frequency.

Fault protection is provided by an output overvoltage comparator and internal foldback current limiting. A power good output pin indicates when the output is within 7.5% of its designed set point.

Applications

  • Automotive Systems
  • Telecom Systems
  • DC Power Distribution Systems
  • High Power Battery-Operated Devices
  • Industrial Control
