Description

AI
The LTC3871/LTC3871-1 is a high performance bidirectional buck or boost switching regulator controller that operates in either buck or boost mode on demand. It regulates in buck mode from VHIGH-to-VLOWand boost mode from VLOW-to-VHIGHdepending on a control signal, making it ideal for 48V/12V automotive dual battery systems. An accurate current programming loop regulates the maximum current that can be delivered in either direction. The LTC3871/LTC3871-1 allows both batteries to supply energy to the load simultaneously by converting energy from one battery to the other.Its proprietary constant-frequency current mode architecture enhances the signal-to-noise ratio enabling low noise operation and provides excellent current matching between phases. Additional features include discontinuous or continuous mode of operation, OV/UV monitors, independent loop compensation for buck and boost operation, accurate output current monitoring and overcurrent protection. The LTC3871 and LTC3871-1 have different current limit foldback characteristics.ApplicationsAutomotive 48V/12V Dual Battery SystemsBackup Power Systems
