Product details
Overview
LTC3882IUJ#PBF from Analog Devices is a dual-output, PolyPhase synchronous step-down DC/DC voltage mode controller with PMBus-compliant digital power system management. It delivers 0.5V–5.25V outputs per channel, supports up to 8-phase parallel operation, and achieves ±0.5% output voltage accuracy with resistor or inductor DCR current sensing-used in high-current server VRMs and telecom power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3882IUJ#PBF datasheet, LTC3882IUJ#PBF pinout, LTC3882IUJ#PBF application, or LTC3882IUJ#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40-pin QFN package, 250kHz–1.25MHz programmable switching frequency, internal EEPROM with fault logging and ECC, AEC-Q100 qualification, and support for AVP, sequencing, margining, and real-time telemetry via PMBus/I²C.
Technical Context
The LTC3882IUJ#PBF implements a constant-frequency, leading-edge voltage-mode PWM architecture with two independent control loops, each supporting programmable soft-start, ramping, and time- or voltage-based sequencing. Its digital interface enables full configuration of output voltage, current limits, UV/OV thresholds, and phase alignment.
It integrates dual 16-bit ADCs for VOUT, IOUT, VIN, and temperature telemetry; supports both resistor and DCR current sensing; and features hardware-fault response (e.g., immediate PWM shutdown on overcurrent or overtemperature) alongside configurable GPIO mapping for status propagation.
Key Specifications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3883IUJ#PBF | Triple-output version with identical feature set, higher pin count (48-pin QFN), and extended VOUT range (0.5V–5.5V). | Required when three independently controlled rails are needed; not pin-compatible with LTC3882IUJ#PBF. | Select LTC3883IUJ#PBF only if third output is required; otherwise, LTC3882IUJ#PBF offers lower cost and smaller footprint. |
| MP8770GQ-Z | Single-output, non-PMBus controller with analog-only interface; lacks EEPROM, telemetry, and AVP; supports 0.6V–5.5V output. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-digital power applications where configuration flexibility and fault logging are unnecessary. | Choose MP8770GQ-Z only for simple, fixed-function buck regulation without digital management; LTC3882IUJ#PBF remains necessary for system-level power intelligence. |
Compared with LTC3883IUJ#PBF, the LTC3882IUJ#PBF reduces pin count and board area for dual-rail systems while retaining full digital management capability; versus MP8770GQ-Z, it adds essential telemetry, configurability, and fault resilience required for mission-critical infrastructure.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of phases supported by the LTC3882IUJ#PBF?
The LTC3882IUJ#PBF itself is a dual-output controller supporting up to 4 phases per channel (8 total) when operated in parallel with up to three additional LTC3882IUJ#PBF units. Phase interleaving is synchronized via the SHARE_CLK pin, enabling precise current sharing and reduced input/output ripple in high-current applications.
Does the LTC3882IUJ#PBF require external components for basic operation?
Yes-the LTC3882IUJ#PBF requires external power stages (e.g., DrMOS, discrete FETs, or power blocks), output inductors, input/output capacitors, and feedback resistors. It also needs pull-up resistors on SCL/SDA, and optional configuration resistors for frequency, phase, and address setting. No external op-amps or compensators are needed due to its integrated error amplifiers and internal compensation networks.
Can the LTC3882IUJ#PBF operate without connecting the PMBus interface?
Yes-the LTC3882IUJ#PBF can operate autonomously using resistor-programmed defaults for output voltage, switching frequency, and sequencing. The PMBus interface is optional for runtime reconfiguration, telemetry, and fault logging; all critical functions remain active even with SCL/SDA unconnected.
What is the role of the IAVG_GND pin on the LTC3882IUJ#PBF?
The IAVG_GND pin on the LTC3882IUJ#PBF serves as the dedicated reference ground for the average current sense amplifier inputs (IAVG0 and IAVG1). It must be connected to the system power ground plane with low-inductance routing to minimize noise coupling and ensure accurate current measurement-especially critical when using inductor DCR sensing.
How does the LTC3882IUJ#PBF handle overtemperature conditions?
The LTC3882IUJ#PBF monitors die temperature via an internal sensor and supports external NTC/PTC thermistors on TSNS0/TSNS1 pins. Upon exceeding OT_FAULT_LIMIT (programmable), it asserts ALERT and disables PWM outputs within microseconds via hardware fault logic-not software polling-ensuring robust thermal protection even during firmware hangs or communication loss.
