Product details
Overview
LTC7880IUKG#PBF from Analog Devices is a dual-output, 60V synchronous step-up DC/DC controller with PMBus/I²C digital power system management, constant-frequency current-mode control, and independent programmable loop compensation for each channel. It supports up to 6-phase PolyPhase® operation, delivers ±0.5% output voltage accuracy over temperature, and integrates 16-bit ADCs and 12-bit DACs for telemetry readback in industrial and automotive start-stop power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7880IUKG#PBF datasheet, LTC7880IUKG#PBF pinout, LTC7880IUKG#PBF application, or LTC7880IUKG#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 52-lead QFN package, dual 5V–40V input / up-to-60V output capability, I²C/PMBus telemetry (input/output voltage/current, temperature, faults), programmable gate drive (6.3V–9V), and independent FAULT/PGOOD per channel.
Technical Context
The LTC7880IUKG#PBF implements analog current-mode control with digitally configurable PWM loop compensation via internal EEPROM-stored parameters. Its two independent boost channels support phase interleaving up to six total phases using external SYNC clocking, enabling high-current, low-ripple output with accurate PolyPhase® current sharing (±1% typical).
It embeds a full PMBus v1.3-compliant interface with telemetry readback, fault logging, digital soft-start/stop, sequencing, margining, and OV/UV/OC protection. Internal 16-bit ADCs monitor VIN, VOUT, IIN, IOUT, and temperature (internal/external), while 12-bit DACs enable precise voltage programming and servo-based regulation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 40V continuous; operates down to 2.5V after startup when VBIAS is powered from VOUT - enables cold-crank and automotive start-stop compatibility. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 60V per channel (VOUT0: ≤60V; VOUT1: ≤30V) - supports high-voltage bias rails for amplifiers, sensors, and industrial actuators. |
| Switching Frequency | 50kHz to 500kHz, programmable via resistor or PMBus - allows optimization of efficiency vs. size for 6.8µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors. |
| Output Accuracy | ±0.5% over temperature (8V–58V range) - achieved via auto-zeroed ADC feedback and digital servo mode, critical for precision analog supply rails. |
| PolyPhase® Support | Up to 6 phases with accurate current sharing (±1%) - reduces input/output ripple, thermal stress, and EMI in high-power (>50A) applications. |
| Digital Interface | PMBus v1.3 / I²C compliant with 10–400kHz clock, integrated EEPROM with ECC, CRC-protected commands - enables firmware-updatable power policies and field calibration. |
| Package | 52-lead (7mm × 8mm) QFN with exposed GND pad - provides low thermal resistance (θJC = 2°C/W) for high-efficiency operation at 125°C junction temperature. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 52-lead plastic QFN (7mm × 8mm), exposed thermal pad (Pin 53 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN0, VIN1 | Primary input voltage inputs | Accept independent 5V–40V supplies per channel; support split-rail or redundant input configurations. |
| BOOST0, BOOST1 | Bootstrap supply for high-side N-MOSFET gates | Enable 6.3V–9V programmable gate drive; tolerate up to 76V transient - ensures robust high-side switching in 60V boost topologies. |
| TG0, TG1 | Top-gate drivers (high-side N-MOSFET) | Drive external high-side MOSFETs with 30ns rise/fall time (3300pF load); support >92% max duty cycle for wide VIN–VOUT ratios. |
| BG0, BG1 | Bottom-gate drivers (low-side N-MOSFET) | Complement TG outputs with 20ns rise/fall time and 50ns dead-time control - prevents shoot-through in synchronous rectification. |
| ISENSE0+, ISENSE0− ISENSE1+, ISENSE1− |
Differential current sense inputs | Support DCR or discrete shunt sensing (±100A full-scale); 10-bit resolution with programmable gain (2x/4x/8x) for accurate load monitoring. |
| PGOOD0, PGOOD1 | Open-drain power-good indicators | Assert after soft-start and voltage regulation validation; 60µs digital filtering eliminates false triggers during transients. |
| FAULT0, FAULT1 | Open-drain fault indicators | Signal OV, UV, OC, OT, or timing faults per channel; 3µs digital filtering ensures fast, noise-immune response. |
| SDA, SCL, ALERT | PMBus/I²C bidirectional interface | Support multi-drop bus with address selection (RCONFIG pins); ALERT signals register events without polling - reduces host CPU overhead. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 16-bit ADC + 12-bit DAC | Enables closed-loop digital servo mode for ±0.5% VOUT accuracy and real-time telemetry (VIN, VOUT, IIN, IOUT, TINT/TEXT) without external components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output digital boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC7882IUKG#PBF | Single-chip dual 60V boost with enhanced 18-bit ADC, faster 1MHz PMBus, and improved light-load efficiency (94% @ 100mA). | Targets next-gen telecom and medical systems requiring higher telemetry resolution and lower quiescent current (IQ = 18mA vs. 26mA). | Choose for new designs needing tighter current measurement (±0.7% TUE) and faster bus communication; not drop-in due to different register map. |
| TPS546D24RSAR | 60V dual-channel buck-boost controller with PMBus, but limited to 36V max VOUT and no native boost-only mode. | Suitable for bidirectional 12V/48V bus architectures, but lacks dedicated high-voltage boost topology and PolyPhase® current sharing. | Consider only if topology flexibility (buck/boost/SEPIC) outweighs need for pure high-voltage boost performance and ±0.5% accuracy. |
Compared with LTC7880IUKG#PBF, the LTC7882IUKG#PBF offers higher ADC resolution and lower IQ but requires firmware revalidation, while the TPS546D24RSAR supports buck-boost operation at lower VOUT range and reduced accuracy - making LTC7880IUKG#PBF optimal for fixed-ratio, high-accuracy 60V boost applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LTC7880IUKG#PBF?
The LTC7880IUKG#PBF supports up to 60V on Channel 0 (VOUT0) and up to 30V on Channel 1 (VOUT1), as defined by its two independent voltage ranges. This is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (VOUTR0 MAX = 60V, VOUTR1 MAX = 30V) and Absolute Maximum Ratings (BOOST0/BOOST1 up to 76V). Operation beyond these values risks damage or specification violation.
Does the LTC7880IUKG#PBF support pre-biased output startup?
Yes, the LTC7880IUKG#PBF supports controlled startup into a pre-biased output, as verified in the Typical Application section and Operation chapter (page 18). Its soft-start circuitry actively manages gate drive during initial ramp, preventing reverse current flow and ensuring monotonic voltage rise - critical for powering live downstream circuits.
How does the LTC7880IUKG#PBF handle fault conditions like overvoltage or overtemperature?
The LTC7880IUKG#PBF features per-channel open-drain FAULT0/FAULT1 outputs with configurable response (latch-off or retry), plus internal EEPROM fault logging. Overvoltage faults trigger within 35µs (tPROPOV1), and overtemperature faults activate internal shutdown above 150°C (TJ), with hysteresis. All fault events are timestamped and stored in nonvolatile memory for post-event analysis.
Can the LTC7880IUKG#PBF operate with only one output enabled?
Yes, the LTC7880IUKG#PBF allows independent enable/disable of each channel via RUN0 and RUN1 pins or PMBus commands (ON_OFF_CONFIG). When one channel is disabled, the other continues full operation with unchanged loop compensation, telemetry, and fault reporting - enabling flexible power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
What is the purpose of the RCONFIG pins on the LTC7880IUKG#PBF?
The RCONFIG pins (ASEL0, ASEL1, VOUT0_CFG, VOUT1_CFG, FREQ_CFG, PHAS_CFG) provide resistor-based configuration for device address, output voltage, switching frequency, and phase count - allowing hardware-defined defaults that persist without PMBus communication. These pins set factory-programmed values used during power-up before digital interface initialization.
