Product Overview
The LTC3780IG is a high-efficiency synchronous four-switch buck-boost switching regulator controller from Analog Devices. Operating from a 4V to 36V input with a 0.8V to 34V output range, this device delivers seamless transitions between buck, boost, and buck-boost modes using a single inductor. Constant frequency current-mode control with programmable 200kHz-400kHz switching frequency and phase-lockable capability provides predictable operation and easy EMI management. With synchronous rectification achieving up to 98% efficiency, the LTC3780 is ideal for high-power automotive, industrial, and telecom applications where the input voltage varies above and below the output voltage.
