The LTC3886/LTC3886-1 is a dual PolyPhase DC/DC synchronous step-down switching regulator controller with I2C-based PMBus compliant serial interface. This controller employs a constant-frequency, current-mode architecture, with high voltage input and output capability along with programmable loop compensation. The LTC3886 is supported by the LTpowerPlay®software development tool with graphical user interface (GUI).The EXTVCC pin supports voltages up to 14V allowing for optimized circuit efficiency and die temperature, and for the controller output to supply the chip power. Switching frequency, output voltage, and device address can be programmed both by digital interface as well as external configuration resistors. Parameters can be set via the digital interface or stored in EEPROM. Both outputs have an independent power good indicator andFAULTfunction.The LTC3886 can be configured for discontinuous (pulse-skipping) mode or continuous inductor current mode. The LTC3886-1 also includes a sequencing off feature to discharge very large output capacitors.APPLICATIONSTelecom, Datacom, and Storage SystemsIndustrial and Point of Load Applications

The LTC3887/LTC3887-1/LTC3887-2 are dual, PolyPhase DC/DC synchronous step-down switching regulator controllers with an I2C-based PMBus compliant serial interface. The controllers use a constant frequency, current mode architecture that is supported by LTpowerPlay®a software development tool with graphical user interface (GUI).Switching frequency, channel phasing, output voltage, and device address can be programmed using external configuration resistors. Additionally, parameters can be set via the digital interface or stored in EEPROM. Voltage, current, internal/external temperature and fault status can be read back through the bus interface.The LTC3887 has integrated gate drivers. The LTC3887-1 has three-state PWM pins to drive DrMOS power stages. The LTC3887-2 has gate drivers and no LDO and supports VINup to 34V. The LTC3887 is an enhanced version of the LTC3880 with greater output voltage range and more digital features.ApplicationsHigh Current Distributed Power SystemsTelecom, Datacom and Storage SystemsIntelligent Energy Efficient Power Regulation

The LTC3888/LTC3888-1/LTC3888-2is a PMBus-compliant dual loop DC/DC synchronous step-down switching regulator controller with eight expandable phases supporting a wide range of master/slave configurations. The controller uses constant frequency current mode architecture to provide excellent transient response and output regulation. Each PWM master is capable of producing output voltages from 0.3V to 3.45V with multiple phase configurations using DrMOS devices that provide an output current monitor.PMBus configuration and monitoring is supported by LTpowerPlay™software. Programmable loop compensation and built-in load step emulation facilitate setting bandwidth based on input voltage and output load capacitance. PMBus commands allow read back of input voltage, output voltage and current, and operating status. Operating parameters can be set via PMBus command or stored in internal EEPROM for use at power up. Switching frequency, phase configuration, output voltage (LTC3888/LTC3888-2), output current limit (LTC3888-1) and device address can also be set using external programming resistors.APPLICATIONSHigh Current Distributed Power SystemsServers, Network and Storage Equipment
