Analog Devices Inc. LT8228 Bidirectional Buck/Boost Controllers
Analog Devices LT8228 Bidirectional Buck/Boost Controller is a 100V constant-current or constant-voltage synchronous buck or boost controller with an independent compensation network. The direction of the power flow is automatically determined by the LT8228 or externally controlled. The input and output protection MOSFETs protect against negative voltages, control inrush currents, and provide isolation between terminals under fault conditions such as switching MOSFET shorts. In buck mode, the protection MOSFETs at the V1 terminal prevent reverse current. In boost mode, the same MOSFETs regulate the output inrush current and protect itself with an adjustable timer circuit breaker.
The LT8228 offers bidirectional input and output current limit as well as independent current monitoring. Masterless, fault-tolerant current sharing allows any LT8228 in parallel to be added or subtracted while maintaining current sharing accuracy. Internal and external fault diagnostics and reporting are available via the FAULT and REPORT pins. The LT8228 is available in a 38-lead TSSOP package.

Ease the Design of 48V/12V Dual Battery Automotive Systems
The future of automobiles' 48V/12V battery systems is just around the corner. Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean the 12V battery is going away; there are far too many legacy systems in the installed vehicle base for this to occur. This means that autonomous cars will have both 12V and 48V batteries.
