The LT8471 from Linear Technology is a dual-PWM DC/DC converter containing two internal 2 A, 50 V switches and an additional 500 mA switch to facilitate step-down and inverting conversion. Each 2 A channel can be independently configured as a buck, boost, SEPIC, flyback, or inverting converter. Capable of generating positive and negative outputs from a single input rail, the LT8471 is ideal for many local power-supply designs.

The LT8471 has an adjustable oscillator, set by a resistor placed from the RT pin to ground. Additionally, the LT8471 can be synchronized to an external clock. The free-running or synchronized-switching frequency range of the part can be set between 100 kHz and 2 MHz.

Additional features such as frequency foldback, soft-start, and power good are integrated. The LT8471 is available in a 20-lead TSSOP package.
