nn 52-Lead (7mm × 8mm) QFN Package The LT®8550 is a multiphase expander for synchronous
buck DC/DC converters. It operates in tandem with any
buck DC/DC converter to increase the load current capability by adding additional phases, which are clocked outof-phase to reduce ripple current and filtering capacitance.
It easily adds phases without the need to route sensitive
feedback and control signals. nn The LT8550 integrates gate drivers and can support up
to four buck phases per device. Multiple LT8550’s can
be used for up to 18 phases. It accurately monitors and …
