The LM251772-Q1 is a four switch Buck-Boost controller. The device provides a regulated output voltage if the input voltage is higher, equal or lower than the adjusted output voltage. In power save mode the device supports very high efficiency over the complete operation range of the output. The output voltage and average current is dynamically programmable using the integrated I2C interface. The configuration range for output voltage and average current meets the USB-PD standard requirements. The integrated DRV pin is used to control an optional disconnect FET if the system is targeted to support dual role port (DRP) requirements.

LM251772-Q1 runs at a fixed switching frequency, which is set using the RT/SYNC pin. The switching frequency remains the same during buck, boost and buck-boost operation. The device maintains small mode transition ripple over all operating modes.
