Product details
Overview
LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a dual-output, PolyPhase® synchronous step-down DC/DC controller with 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 integrates 16-bit ADC telemetry for VIN, IIN, VOUT, IOUT, temperature, duty cycle, and faults-enabling precise closed-loop control in high-current server and telecom power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF pinout, LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF application, or LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed PolyPhase current-sharing capability up to six phases, real-world sequencing/margining programmability, and AEC-Q100-qualified automotive suitability where specified.
Technical Context
The LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF implements analog current-mode control with constant-frequency PWM, supporting 250kHz–1MHz switching via external SYNC or internal oscillator. Its dual-channel architecture enables independent voltage programming (VOUT0/VOUT1), phase interleaving, and event-based sequencing using internal EEPROM-stored configurations.
It integrates N-channel MOSFET gate drivers (TG0/BG0/TG1/BG1), remote differential sensing for each output, and a dedicated 16-bit ADC with ±0.5% total unadjusted error for VOUT readback. Fault logging with ECC, digital soft-start/stop, OV/UV margining, and telemetry over PMBus v1.3 are fully implemented in silicon-not firmware-only features.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3887-1EUJ#TRPBF | Replaces integrated gate drivers with three-state PWM outputs for DrMOS compatibility; no internal LDO for EXTVCC | Required when using integrated DrMOS power stages (e.g., ISL99390); not suitable for discrete MOSFET designs | Select LTC3887-1EUJ#TRPBF only if DrMOS topology is used; LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF is optimal for discrete FETs with higher drive strength. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for the LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF?
The LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF supports a programmable switching frequency range of 250kHz to 1MHz. This is set either via external RCONFIG resistors or dynamically through the PMBus interface using the OPERATION and ON_OFF_CONFIG commands. The internal oscillator maintains ±7.5% accuracy across temperature, and external SYNC input allows precise frequency locking across multiple phases.
Does the LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF support remote voltage sensing on both outputs?
Yes, the LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF provides dedicated differential sense inputs for each output: VSENSE0+/VSENSE0– for Channel 0 and VSENSE1+/VSENSE1– for Channel 1. These inputs feature high input impedance (41kΩ/37kΩ) and enable Kelvin connections to maintain ±0.5% output voltage accuracy despite PCB trace resistance under high-current loads.
Can the LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF operate in six-phase PolyPhase configurations?
Yes, the LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF supports scalable PolyPhase operation up to six phases using the SHARE_CLK pin for inter-device synchronization. When cascaded with up to five additional LTC3887 controllers, it achieves accurate current sharing (<±1%) across all phases - critical for minimizing input/output capacitor RMS current and thermal hotspots in high-power designs.
Is EEPROM configuration persistent after power loss in the LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF?
Yes, the LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF includes internal EEPROM with ECC protection that retains configuration data-including voltage setpoints, sequencing parameters, fault thresholds, and calibration coefficients-across power cycles. It guarantees 10,000 write cycles and 10-year data retention at ≤125°C junction temperature, enabling true "power-on ready" operation without host initialization.
What fault telemetry does the LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF provide via PMBus?
The LTC3887EUJ#TRPBF provides comprehensive real-time telemetry via PMBus, including VIN, IIN, VOUT0/VOUT1, IOUT0/IOUT1, internal die temperature, external temperature (via TSNS0/TSNS1), duty cycle, and detailed fault status (OV/UV on input/output, peak IOUT, overtemperature, timing faults). All values are accessible using standard PMBus commands like READ_VIN, READ_TEMPERATURE_1, and MFR_FAULT_LOG.
