LTC®3871 Bidirectional PolyPhase® Synchr

Linear Technology's LTC3871 is a high-performance bidirectional buck or boost switching regulator controller that operates in either buck or boost mode on demand. The LTC3871 regulates in buck mode from VHIGH-to-VLOW and boost mode from VLOW-to-VHIGH depending on a control signal, making it ideal for 48 V / 12 V automotive dual battery systems. An accurate current programming loop regulates the maximum current that can be delivered in either direction. The LTC3871 allows both batteries to supply energy to the load simultaneously by converting energy from one battery to the other.

The LTC3871's 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.
