Analog Devices Inc. LT8390 Synchronous Buck-Boost Controllers
Analog Devices Inc. LT8390 Controllers are 4-switch synchronous, buck-boost controllers. The controllers regulate output voltage, input or output current from an input voltage above, below, or equal to the output voltage. The peak-buck/peak-boost current mode control scheme enables adjustable and synchronizable 150kHz to 650kHz fixed frequency operation. The control scheme also allows internal ±15% triangle spread spectrum frequency modulation for low EMI.The controllers offer 4V to 60V input voltage range, 0V to 60V output voltage capability, and seamless low-noise transitions between operation regions. The Analog Devices Inc. LT8390 Controllers are ideal for the voltage regulator, battery, and supercapacitor charger applications in automotive, industrial, telecom, and even battery-powered systems.

Eliminate Switching Noise with 4-Switch Buck-Boost Controller with Pass-Thru Capability
There are several DC-to-DC converter topologies that can perform both step-up and step-down operations, from SEPIC to 4-switch topologies, but none of these solutions pass the input voltage directly to the output without actively switching - until now, that is.
4-Switch Buck-Boost Controller Layout for Low Emissions
Automotive application circuits must meet strict EMI standards to avoid interfering with broadcast and mobile service frequency bands so careful layout is imperative.
