The LTC3779 is a high efficiency (up to 99%) 4-switch single inductor synchronous buck-boost DC/DC controller that operates from input voltages above, below or equal to the regulated output voltage. Its 4.5V to 150V input voltage range is designed to operate from a high input voltage source or from an input that has high voltage ...
