The LT8228 is a 100V bidirectional constant-current or constant-voltage synchronous buck or boost controller with 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 V1terminal prevents reverse current. In boost mode, the same MOSFETs regulate the output inrush current and protects 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 theFAULTandREPORTpins. The LT8228 is available in a 38-lead TSSOP package.ApplicationsDual Battery Automotive and Industrial SystemsHigh Power System Backup and Supply Stabilization"N+1" Redundant, High Reliability Power SuppliesPower Interrupt Protection System
