3 Description
The LM51770 is a four switch buck-boost controller.
The device provides a regulated output voltage if
the input voltage is higher, equal, or lower than
the adjusted output voltage. In power save mode,
the device supports high efficiency with low output
loads due to its low quiescence currents. In power
save mode, the device supports high efficiency
close to 99% efficiency over the full range of the
output currentThe LM51770 runs at a fixed switching
frequency, which can be set through the RT or SYNC
pin. The switching frequency remains the same during
buck, boost, and buck-boost operation. The integrated
and optional average current monitor can help monitor
and limit input and output current of the LM51770.
This feature also supports charging backup power
elements, like batteries or capacitors, with constant
current (CC) and constant voltage (CV).
