Product details
Overview
LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF from Analog Devices is a dual-output, PolyPhase® synchronous step-down DC/DC controller with integrated PMBus/I²C digital power system management. It delivers ±0.5% output voltage accuracy over temperature, supports 4.5V–24V input and 0.5V–5.4V output ranges, and enables precise telemetry readback of VIN, IIN, VOUT, IOUT, and temperature for high-reliability server and telecom power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF datasheet, LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF pinout, LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF application, or LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF equivalent, this device serves as a digitally programmable, AEC-Q100 qualified dual-phase controller for intelligent power regulation in distributed systems requiring sequencing, margining, fault logging, and real-time telemetry.
Technical Context
The LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF implements analog current-mode control with constant-frequency PWM, enabling stable multi-phase operation up to six phases via SHARE_CLK synchronization. Its internal 16-bit ADC digitizes voltage, current, and temperature with 90ms round-robin conversion latency and ±1% total unadjusted error on IOUT readback.
Digital configuration is handled through a PMBus-compliant interface supporting full parameter programming-including soft-start, OV/UV thresholds, current limits, and frequency (250kHz–1MHz)-with EEPROM storage including ECC and fault logging. Unlike the LTC3880, the LTC3880-1 variant uses an external 5V supply for EXTVCC instead of an internal INTVCC regulator, reducing quiescent power loss.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output digital DC/DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3887IUJ#PBF | Single-output architecture; faster 35ms startup vs. 120ms; no internal EEPROM; supports Fast ADC mode for telemetry | Better suited for space-constrained single-rail designs needing rapid power-up; lacks dual-channel flexibility and nonvolatile storage | Select when only one regulated rail is required and startup time is critical; not a drop-in replacement due to pinout and feature set differences |
| MP2960AGQSE-LF-Z | Monolithic dual-output controller (integrated MOSFETs); lower VIN min (2.7V); no PMBus-uses SMBus v2.0; 12-bit telemetry ADC | Targeted at cost-sensitive embedded systems; limited to ≤30A/channel; lacks EEPROM, fault logging, and PolyPhase® scalability | Choose for simplified BOM and board area savings in non-automotive industrial applications where digital configurability is secondary to integration |
Compared with LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF, LTC3887IUJ#PBF trades dual-channel capability and EEPROM persistence for faster startup and reduced external component count, while MP2960AGQSE-LF-Z sacrifices configurability and scalability for monolithic simplicity and lower system cost.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF and LTC3880EUJ#PBF?
The LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF uses an external 5V supply for EXTVCC instead of the internal INTVCC regulator found in the LTC3880EUJ#PBF. This reduces quiescent power loss and improves efficiency in high-input-voltage applications, but requires provision of a clean 5V rail. Both share identical pinout, PMBus functionality, and dual-output control architecture.
Does LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF support true dual independent output sequencing?
Yes, LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF supports fully independent voltage ramp-up/down timing, delay, and margining per channel via PMBus commands or EEPROM-stored profiles. Sequencing can be voltage-based or event-triggered (e.g., RUN0/RUN1 assertion), with programmable delays from 0ms to 100s and resolution down to 1ms.
Can LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF operate in single-phase mode, and how is phase count configured?
Yes, LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF operates natively in dual-phase mode (one per channel) but supports up to six phases via PolyPhase® synchronization using the SHARE_CLK pin. Phase count is configured by connecting multiple LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF devices in master-slave topology; no external phase controller is needed.
What telemetry parameters does LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF measure with guaranteed accuracy?
LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF guarantees ±0.5% total unadjusted error for VOUT readback, ±1% for IOUT (at >6mV differential), ±0.5% for VIN, and ±3°C for external temperature (TSNS0/TSNS1). Internal temperature accuracy is ±1°C. All values are specified over –40°C to 105°C junction temperature range.
Is LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF pin-compatible with earlier revisions or alternate variants like LTC3880IUJ-1#PBF?
Yes, LTC3880EUJ-1#PBF is pin-compatible with all UJ-1 package variants (e.g., LTC3880IUJ-1#PBF), differing only in operating temperature grade (–40°C to 105°C vs. –40°C to 125°C) and screening. The pinout, footprint, and electrical characteristics are identical across all UJ-1 suffix parts.
