LTC7872ELXE in Linear Tech / ADI LT Series Family
The LTC7872ELXE family, manufactured by Analog Devices (Linear Technology), consists of high-performance 4-phase bidirectional buck-boost switching regulator controllers. Designed for high-power automotive and industrial systems, these controllers provide seamless transitions between buck and boost modes. They are specifically engineered to manage energy transfer between two battery voltage rails, such as 48V and 12V systems, ensuring high efficiency and precise current regulation in demanding power distribution networks.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within this sub-family primarily differ based on their thermal ratings and qualification levels. While the LTC7872ELXE is optimized for standard industrial and automotive temperature ranges in the eLQFP package, other variants may offer enhanced automotive grade (AEC-Q100) testing or different lead finishes. Packaging options focus on heat dissipation through exposed pads to handle high-frequency gate drive requirements for external MOSFETs.
