Product details
Overview
LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF from Analog Devices is a dual-output, PolyPhase® synchronous step-down DC/DC controller with integrated N-channel MOSFET gate drivers and PMBus/I²C digital power system management. It delivers ±0.5% output voltage accuracy over temperature, supports 0.5V–5.5V VOUT range per channel, operates from 4.5V–24V VIN, and enables precise telemetry readback (VIN, IIN, VOUT, IOUT, temperature, duty cycle, faults) in high-current server and telecom power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF datasheet, LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF pinout, LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF application, or LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF equivalent, this device is selected for digitally managed, multi-phase buck regulation requiring accurate current sharing, fault logging with ECC, remote differential sensing, and AEC-Q100-compliant operation up to 125°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF implements an analog current-mode control loop with constant-frequency PWM, supporting up to six-phase interleaving via SHARE_CLK and precise phase alignment (0°–300° programmable). Its integrated 16-bit ADC digitizes voltage, current, and temperature telemetry with 244µV LSB resolution for VOUT and ±1% total unadjusted error for IOUT readback.
Digital configuration is enabled through a PMBus-compliant interface with EEPROM storage (10,000 write cycles, 10-year retention), supporting programmable soft-start/stop, sequencing, margining, OV/UV thresholds, and frequency synchronization from 250kHz to 1MHz. The device features three-state PWM outputs (not gate drivers) for driving DrMOS power stages, distinguishing it from the LTC3887 (integrated drivers) and LTC3887-2 (34V VIN, no LDO).

FAQ
What distinguishes LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF from LTC3887EUJ#PBF?
The LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF features three-state PWM outputs optimized for driving DrMOS power stages, whereas the LTC3887EUJ#PBF includes integrated N-channel gate drivers for discrete MOSFETs. Both share identical PMBus functionality, EEPROM, and telemetry capabilities, but the LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF lacks internal gate drivers and instead provides PWM signals compatible with integrated power stages like ISL99227 or TDA21472. This makes LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF ideal for compact, high-density designs where DrMOS integration reduces board area and thermal complexity.
Does LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF support AEC-Q100 qualification?
Yes, the LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications (Grade E, –40°C to +125°C junction temperature). This qualification covers stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and ESD, ensuring reliability in under-hood and ADAS environments. The device's internal EEPROM with ECC, fault logging, and robust thermal monitoring (via TSNS0/TSNS1 pins) directly support ISO 26262 functional safety requirements for power management in automotive systems.
How does LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF achieve ±0.5% output voltage accuracy?
The LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF achieves ±0.5% output voltage accuracy over temperature through a combination of on-chip trimming, auto-zeroing ADC-based servo correction, and high-precision reference circuitry. During operation, the integrated 16-bit ADC continuously measures VOUT via differential sense inputs, compares it to the digitally programmed setpoint, and adjusts the PWM duty cycle in real time. This digital servo loop compensates for resistor tolerance, thermal drift, and load-induced errors - maintaining accuracy without external calibration components.
Can LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF manage more than two output phases?
Yes, the LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF supports up to six interleaved phases using its SHARE_CLK output and PolyPhase current-sharing architecture. By connecting the SHARE_CLK pin to the SYNC input of additional LTC3887-x controllers (e.g., LTC3887-1 or LTC3887-2), designers can synchronize multiple devices with programmable phase offsets (0°–300° in 30° steps). Each controller manages its own output pair while sharing current-sense and timing information - enabling scalable, thermally balanced high-current solutions beyond dual-phase limits.
What telemetry data can be read back from LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF via PMBus?
The LTC3887EUJ-1#PBF provides comprehensive real-time telemetry via PMBus, including input voltage (VIN), input current (IIN), output voltages (VOUT0/VOUT1), output currents (IOUT0/IOUT1), internal die temperature, external temperatures (via TSNS0/TSNS1), duty cycle, and fault status (OV, UV, OC, OT, timing faults). All values are digitized by the integrated 16-bit ADC with specified accuracy (e.g., ±0.5% for VOUT, ±1% for IOUT), and fault events are logged with timestamps in internal EEPROM for post-failure analysis.
