LT8709 Negative Input Synchronous Multi-Topology DC/DC Controller FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Wide Negative Input Range: –4.5V to –80V The LT®8709 is a synchronous PWM controller for negative- n Rail-to-Rail Output Current Monitor and Control to-negative or negative-to-positive DC/DC conversion, n Input Voltage Regulation for High Impedance Inputs with rail-to-rail output current monitor and control. The n Power Good Indication Pin LT8709 is ideal for many local power supply designs. It n MODE Pin for Forced CCM (Continuous Conduction can be easily configured in buck, boost, buck-boost, and Mode) or Pulse-Skipping/DCM (Discontinuous inverting topologies with negative input voltages. Conduction Mode) Operation In addition, the LT8709’s rail-to-rail output current sense n Switching Frequency Up to 750kHz allows the part to be configured in current limited applica- n Easily Configurable as a Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost, or tions such as battery or capacitor charging. The PG pin Inverting Converter with a Single Feedback Pin is used for power good indication. n Can be Synchronized to an External Clock n High Gain EN/FBIN Pin Accepts Slowly Varying Input The LT8709’s switching frequency range can be set between Signals 100kHz and 750kHz. The part may be clocked internally n 20-Lead TSSOP Package at a frequency set by the resistor from the RT pin to the APPLICATIONS –VIN pin, or it may be synchronized to an external clock. The LT8709 also features innovative EN/FBIN pin circuitry n High Power Negative Input, Negative Output Power that allows for slowly varying input signals and an adjust- Supplies able undervoltage lockout function. The pin is also used for n High Power Negative Input, Positive Output Power input voltage regulation to avoid collapsing a high imped- Supplies ance input supply. Additional features such as frequency n Telecom Equipment Power Supplies foldback, thermal shutdown and soft-start are integrated. n Cathodic Protection Power Supplies The LT8709 is available in a 20-lead TSSOP package.
