Slave Controller for LT8708 Multiphase System

DESCRIPTION
The
LT
®
8708-1
is a high performance buck-boost
switching regulator controller that is paralleled with the
LT8708 to add power and phases to an LT8708 system.
The LT8708-1 always operates as a slave to the master
LT8708 and has the capability of delivering as much cur-
rent or power as the master. One or more slaves can be
connected to a single master, proportionally increasing
power and current capability of the system.
The LT8708-1 has the same conduction modes as LT8708,
allowing the LT8708-1 to conduct current and power in
the same direction(s) as the master. The master controls
the overall current and voltage limits for an LT8708 mul-
tiphase system, and the slaves comply with these limits.
LT8708-1s can be easily paralleled with the LT8708 by
connecting four signals together. Two additional current
limits (forward V
IN
current and reverse V
IN
current) are
available on each slave that can be set independently.
