Product details
Overview
LTC3887IUJ-1#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, 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 LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF pinout, LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF application, or LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF equivalent, this device serves as a digitally programmable, AEC-Q100-qualified controller for multi-phase buck conversion with real-time telemetry, fault logging, and EEPROM-based configuration persistence in demanding industrial and automotive embedded power systems.
Technical Context
The LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF implements analog current-mode control with digital supervision: its constant-frequency PWM core uses external ramp compensation and internal slope compensation to stabilize DCR- or resistor-based current sensing across up to six phases. The device features three-state PWM outputs (not gate drivers) to interface directly with DrMOS power stages, enabling fast transient response and accurate phase interleaving.
Its PMBus v1.3-compliant interface supports full readback of telemetry-including 16-bit VOUT, 10-bit VIN, 16-bit IOUT (via differential sense), and 0.25°C-resolution temperature-with configurable alert thresholds, event-triggered sequencing, and fault logging with ECC-protected internal EEPROM. All configuration parameters-including voltage setpoints, soft-start timing, OV/UV limits, and frequency synchronization-are stored nonvolatilely and survive power cycles.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output digital polyphase controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF | Same functionality and pinout; rated for 0°C to 85°C ambient (commercial grade), not –40°C to 125°C. | Not qualified for automotive or extended-temperature industrial use; lacks AEC-Q100 validation. | Select when operating environment stays within 0°C–85°C and cost sensitivity outweighs extended temp requirement. |
| MP8770GL-10-Z | Monolithic dual-output buck converter (integrated MOSFETs); no PMBus telemetry; only analog configuration via resistors. | Lacks real-time telemetry, EEPROM storage, and digital sequencing; suitable only for fixed-function, low-complexity rails. | Choose for space-constrained, cost-sensitive designs where digital management is unnecessary and 3A–6A per rail suffices. |
Compared with LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF, the LTC3887EUJ-1#TRPBF offers identical digital features but reduced temperature rating, while the MP8770GL-10-Z trades telemetry and configurability for integration and lower BOM count-making it viable only in non-telemetry, non-automotive applications.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF and the standard LTC3887IUJ#TRPBF?
The LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF is the -1 variant, which features three-state PWM outputs optimized for direct interfacing with DrMOS power stages-unlike the standard LTC3887IUJ#TRPBF that includes integrated N-channel gate drivers. This makes LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF ideal for high-efficiency, high-density designs using smart power stages, while retaining full PMBus telemetry, EEPROM configuration, and ±0.5% output accuracy.
Does LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF support AEC-Q100 qualification, and what does that mean for automotive use?
Yes, LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified (Grade I, –40°C to 125°C), meaning it has undergone stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, ESD, and vibration per automotive reliability standards. This qualification validates its suitability for ADAS domain controllers and infotainment power supplies where functional safety and long-term robustness are mandatory-not just temperature rating.
How does the EEPROM in LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF enhance system reliability compared to volatile configuration storage?
The internal EEPROM in LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF stores all critical settings-including voltage setpoints, soft-start timing, fault thresholds, and sequencing order-with ECC protection. Unlike volatile registers, this ensures configuration persistence across power cycles, brownouts, and cold starts-eliminating boot-time host reprogramming and preventing misconfiguration-induced rail failures in unattended systems.
Can LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF operate with input voltages below 4.5V, and what are the constraints?
No-LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF specifies a minimum VIN of 4.5V per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Below 4.5V, the INTVCC regulator cannot sustain internal logic operation, and undervoltage lockout engages. For sub-4.5V inputs, an external bias supply to INTVCC is required, but this violates the recommended operating conditions and voids guaranteed performance.
What telemetry parameters can be read in real time from LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF, and at what resolution?
LTC3887IUJ-1#TRPBF supports real-time PMBus readback of VIN (10-bit, ±0.5% TUE), VOUT (16-bit, ±0.5% accuracy), IOUT (16-bit, ±1% TUE above 6mV sense voltage), die and external temperature (0.25°C resolution), duty cycle, and fault status. All values are updated every 90ms in round-robin mode unless accelerated via MFR_ADC_CONTROL.
