48V/12V Automotive Bidirectional Synchronous Buck or Boost DC/DC Controller Increases Available Power

September 20, 2016

MILPITAS, CA – September 20, 2016 – Linear Technology Corporation announces the LTC3871, a 100V/30V bidirectional two phase synchronous buck or boost controller, ideal for 48V/12V automotive dual battery systems. Current 12V automotive systems are reaching their 3kW power limit due to the ever-increasing demand for more electrical devices. A newly proposed standard, LV148, combines a secondary 48V bus with the existing 12V system. The 48V rail includes a belt starter generator (BSG) or an integrated starter generator (ISG), a 48V lithium-ion battery and a bidirectional DC/DC converter for delivery of up to 10kW of available energy from the 48V … Read More → "48V/12V Automotive Bidirectional Synchronous Buck or Boost DC/DC Controller Increases Available Power"
