The recently released LT8708 bidirectional DC/DC controller from Analog Devices solves the critical function of allowing two batteries with the same voltage to be hooked up by using the LT8708 controller. The LT8708/LT8708-1 is a 98 per cent efficient bidirectional buck-boost switching regulator controller that operates between two batteries that have the same voltage, ideal for redundancy in self-driving cars. It can operate from an input voltage that can be above, below or equal to the output voltage, making it well suited for two each 12V, 24V or 48V batteries commonly found in electric and hybrid vehicles.
The LT8708 operates between two batteries and prevents system shutdown should one of the batteries fail. This device can also be used in 48V/12V and 48V/24V dual battery systems.
The LT8708/LT8708-1 uses a single inductor and operates over an input voltage range
Components in Electronics
from 2.8V to 80V while producing an output voltage from 1.3V to 80V, delivering up to several kilowatts of power depending on the choice of external components and number of phases. It simplifies bidirectional power conversion in battery/capacitor backup systems that need regulation of VOUT, VIN, and/or IOUT, IIN, both in the forward or reverse direction.
This device’s six independent forms of regulation allow it to be used in numerous applications.
“With ADI’s product, features are included to simplify bidirectional power conversion in battery/capacitor backup systems. This product shows real innovation and design, and places Analog Devices firmly at the front of this technologically advanced industry. An excellent product.” –
