rectional buck or boost switching regulator controller
that operates in either buck or boost mode on demand.
It regulates in buck mode from V
HIGH
-to-V
LOW
and boost
mode from V
LOW
-to-V
HIGH
depending on a control signal,
making it ideal for 48V/12V automotive dual battery sys-
tems. An accurate current programming loop regulates
the maximum current that can be delivered in either direc-
tion. 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.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Ratings for extended periods may affect device reliability
and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LTC3871/LTC3871-1 is tested under pulsed load conditions
such that T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3871/LTC3871-1E is guaranteed to meet
performance specifications from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature.
Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature
range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with
statistical process controls. The LTC3875I is guaranteed over the
–40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range. The LTC3871/
LTC3871-1H is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 150°C operating
junction temperature range. High junction temperature degrades operating
lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated for junction temperatures greater
than 125°C. Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent with
these specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal impedance and
other environmental factors.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and
power dissipation P
D
according to the following formula: T
J
= T
A
+
(P
D
• 36°C/W).
Note 4:
The LTC3871/LTC3871-1 is tested in a feedback loop that servos
V
ITHHIGH
and V
ITHLOW
to a specified voltage and measures the resultant
V
FBHIGH
and V
FBLOW
, respectively.
Note 5:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency. See Applications Information.
Note 6:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay
