LT8204
40V Full-Bridge or Dual
Half-Bridge Controller
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®8204 is a 40V full-bridge or dual half-bridge con-
troller. It can be configured as either a four-switch full-
bridge controller or dual two-switch half-bridge control-
lers to regulate either the output voltage or the output
current. The LT8204 provides two selectable PWM con-
trol methods (i.e., peak current mode control and voltage
mode control) to ease loop frequency compensation for
applications with different load types (inductive, resistive,
or capacitive loads).

Stability
The LT8204 features dual bidirectional rail-to-rail preci-
sion (200μV V ) load current monitors, output voltage
monitors, andOdSual on-chip 16-bit monotonic digital-
to-analog converters (DACs). Together with the serial
peripheral interface (SPI), the output current or voltage
can be programmed precisely on-the-fly. The LT8204 also
monitors the system operation status and reports via SPI
interface in case of failure (e.g., loss of load connection,
failure of external MOSFET devices).
