Product details
Overview
LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF 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 of VIN, IIN, VOUT, IOUT, temperature, duty cycle, and faults - used in high-current telecom and datacom power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF application, or LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed PolyPhase current sharing up to six phases, real-world sequencing/margining capabilities, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative controllers for dual-output digital power designs.
Technical Context
The LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF implements analog current-mode control with constant-frequency PWM, enabling stable regulation across wide load transients while supporting digital configuration via PMBus. Its architecture integrates a 16-bit ADC for telemetry, internal EEPROM with ECC for fault logging and parameter storage, and three-state PWM outputs (not gate drivers) optimized for DrMOS power stages.
It features remote differential sensing per channel, accurate PolyPhase current sharing across up to six phases, and programmable soft-start/stop, sequencing, OV/UV protection, and frequency synchronization from 250kHz to 1MHz - all configurable via resistor networks or the digital interface without requiring external microcontrollers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4.5V to 24V - supports standard 5V, 12V, and 24V intermediate bus architectures without external biasing. |
| VOUT Range | 0.5V to 5.5V per channel - covers core logic, memory, FPGA, and ASIC supply rails with fine digital adjustment. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±0.5% over temperature - ensures tight regulation for sensitive digital loads without manual calibration. |
| Switching Frequency | 250kHz to 1MHz - adjustable via SYNC input or RCONFIG resistors to optimize efficiency vs. size trade-offs. |
| PMBus Compliance | Fully compliant with PMBus v1.3 - enables standardized telemetry, fault reporting, and configuration across multi-vendor systems. |
| PolyPhase Support | Up to six-phase operation with accurate current sharing - scales output current beyond 100A while minimizing ripple and thermal stress. |
| Minimum On-Time | 45ns - enables high VIN-to-low VOUT conversion (e.g., 12V → 0.6V) at high switching frequencies. |
| Package | 40-pin (6mm × 6mm) QFN with exposed GND pad - thermally enhanced for high-power density layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 40-lead (6mm × 6mm) plastic QFN (UJ), exposed pad soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical integrity. Junction temperature range: –40°C to 125°C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main input supply rail | Accepts 4.5V–24V; powers INTVCC regulator and internal circuitry - requires local 1µF ceramic bypass. |
| TG0, TG1 | Top-gate drive outputs | Three-state PWM signals (not gate drivers) - directly interface with DrMOS power stages (e.g., ISL99227). |
| BG0, BG1 | Bottom-gate drive outputs | Complementary three-state PWM outputs - synchronized with TGx for synchronous buck operation. |
| VSENSE0+, VSENSE0− VSENSE1+, VSENSE1− |
Differential output voltage sense inputs | Enable remote sensing for each channel - reject PCB IR drop and ensure accurate regulation at load point. |
| ISENSE0+, ISENSE0− ISENSE1+, ISENSE1− |
Differential current sense inputs | Support low-value shunt or DCR sensing - feed 16-bit ADC for precise IOUT telemetry and overcurrent protection. |
| SCL, SDA | PMBus/I²C bidirectional serial interface | Standard 400kHz open-drain bus - supports addressable communication, telemetry reads, and configuration writes. |
| ALERT | Open-drain fault indicator | Asserts low on any detected fault (OV, UV, OC, OT) - connects directly to system supervisor or host processor interrupt. |
| RUN0, RUN1 | Channel enable inputs | Active-high logic inputs - independently control startup/shutdown sequencing and margining behavior per output. |
| SHARE_CLK | PolyPhase clock output | Drives external phase-sync inputs on companion controllers - enables deterministic interleaving across multiple LTC3887-1 devices. |
| WP | EEPROM write-protect input | Hardware lock for NVM - prevents accidental overwrites of stored configurations and fault logs during operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent output control | Each channel fully programmable for voltage, current limit, soft-start, sequencing, and margining - eliminates need for discrete supervisors. |
| Integrated 16-bit ADC with telemetry | Simultaneously measures VIN, IIN, VOUT, IOUT, die temperature, and external thermistor voltages - enables closed-loop digital power management. |
| Internal EEPROM with ECC | Stores user configurations, fault logs, and calibration data with error correction - retains settings across power cycles without external memory. |
| Accurate PolyPhase current sharing | ±1% current matching across up to six phases - reduces per-phase current stress and improves thermal distribution in high-current designs. |
| Programmable frequency synchronization | SYNC input accepts 250kHz–1MHz external clock - enables deterministic phase alignment and EMI reduction in multi-rail systems. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Rated for automotive applications (Grade E, –40°C to 125°C) - meets reliability and qualification requirements for infotainment and ADAS power supplies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output digital power controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3883IUJ#TRPBF | Single-output controller; no VOUT1, no SHARE_CLK, lower VOUT resolution (10-bit vs 12-bit), no three-state PWM - uses integrated gate drivers instead. | Not suitable for dual-rail or PolyPhase systems; limited to single-output applications with external MOSFETs. | Select only when design requires single-output digital control with gate drivers and lower cost - not a functional substitute for LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF. |
| TPS546D24RTQR | Single-chip, single-output, 60A DrMOS-integrated buck converter; no PMBus telemetry readback, no EEPROM, no sequencing/margining - fixed 1.2V/1.8V options. | Targeted at space-constrained, high-current single-rail applications; lacks dual-output flexibility and full digital management. | Choose when board area is critical and only one high-current rail is needed - does not replace LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF's dual-channel programmability or telemetry depth. |
Compared with LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF, LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF offers unique dual-output PolyPhase control with full PMBus telemetry, EEPROM-based configuration persistence, and three-state PWM for DrMOS - neither alternative matches its combination of channel count, digital feature set, and system-level power management capability.

Yes, LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF supports accurate PolyPhase current sharing for up to six phases using its SHARE_CLK output and phase-configurable PWM timing. The datasheet explicitly states "Accurate PolyPhase Current Sharing for Up to Six Phases" and details phase relationship control via MFR_PWM_CONFIG register bits - confirmed in Rev. F Features and Operation sections.
What package type and thermal specifications apply to LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF?
LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF uses a 40-lead (6mm × 6mm) plastic QFN (UJ package) with exposed GND pad. Thermal resistance is θJA = 33°C/W and θJC = 2.5°C/W, with maximum junction temperature of 125°C - documented in the Pin Configuration diagram and Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the datasheet Rev. F.
Is LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes, LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications (Grade E, –40°C to 125°C). This is explicitly stated in the Features section and Order Information table of the datasheet Rev. F, and applies to all UJ-1 variants marked with 'E' or 'I' grade suffixes.
