The LM5170EVM-BIDIR is a high performance dual phase bi-directional converter ideal for 48V-12V dual battery system applications. The two phases operate in 180degree interleaved operation, and they evenly share a max dc current of up to 60A. When DIR is set to "1" the power flows from the 48V port to the 12V port, and the 12V port voltage is regulated at about 14.5V. When DIR is set to "0" the power flows from the 12V port to the 48V port, 48V port voltage is regulated at about 50.5V. The EVM also includes various jumpers to flexibly and conveniently configure the circuit to fit for many different use cases, including the capability of being controlled by MCU, high power unidirectional buck or boost converters, etc.
