to-negative or negative-to-positive DC/DC conversion,
with rail-to-rail output current monitor and control. The
LT8709 is ideal for many local power supply designs. It
can be easily configured in buck, boost, buck-boost, and
inverting topologies with negative input voltages.
In addition, the LT8709’s rail-to-rail output current sense
allows the part to be configured in current limited applica-
tions such as battery or capacitor charging. The PG pin
is used for power good indication.
The LT8709’s switching frequency range can be set between
100kHz and 750kHz. The part may be clocked internally
at a frequency set by the resistor from the RT pin to the
–V
IN
pin, or it may be synchronized to an external clock.
The LT8709 also features innovative EN/FBIN pin circuitry
that allows for slowly varying input signals and an adjust-
able undervoltage lockout function. The pin is also used for
input voltage regulation to avoid collapsing a high imped-
ance input supply. Additional features such as frequency
foldback, thermal shutdown and soft-start are integrated.
The LT8709 is available in a 20-lead TSSOP package.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LT8709E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the
–40°C to 125°C operating temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LT8709I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range.
Note 3:
Rise and fall times are measured using 10% and 90% levels. Delay
times are measured using 50% levels.
Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation over the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 5:
Do not apply a positive or negative voltage or current source to the
BG, TG, and INTV
EE
pins, otherwise permanent damage may occur, except
