LTC3888-1 Dual Loop 8-Phase Step-Down DC/DC Controller with Digital Power System Management FEATURESDESCRIPTION n PMBus/I2C Compliant Serial Interface The LTC®3888-1 is a PMBus-compliant dual loop DC/DC n Monitor Voltage, Current, Temperature and Faults synchronous step-down switching regulator controller n Digitally Program V with eight expandable phases supporting a wide range of OUT, Margins, UV, OV, CurrentLimit, Soft-Start/Stop and Sequencing master/slave configurations. The controller uses constant n Expandable to >16 Phases frequency current mode architecture to provide excellent n External Resistor Divider Programs Output Voltage transient response and output regulation. Each PWM n 4.5V ≤ V master is capable of producing output voltages from 0.3V IN ≤ 26.5V, 0.3V ≤ VOUT ≤ 3.45V n ±0.5% Output Voltage Accuracy to 3.45V with multiple phase configurations using DrMOS n Programmable PWM Loop Compensation devices that provide an output current monitor. n Accurate PolyPhase ® Current Sharing Output voltage is set with an external voltage divider. n Internal EEPROM with ECC and Fault Logging PMBus configuration and monitoring is supported by n DrMOS Output Current Monitor Interface LTpowerPlay™ software. Programmable loop compen- n DrMOS Temperature/Fault Bus Interface sation and built-in load step emulation facilitate setting n DrMOS Gate Drive Supply Monitor bandwidth based on input voltage and output load capaci- n Load Step Emulation tance. PMBus commands allow read back of input volt- n Internal or External PWM Clock from 250kHz to 1MHz age, output voltage and current, and operating status. n 52-Pin (5mm × 8mm) QFN Package Operating parameters can be set via PMBus command or n AEC-Q100 Qualified for Automotive Applications stored in internal EEPROM for use at power up. Switching frequency, phase configuration, output current limit and device address can also be set using external program- APPLICATIONS ming resistors. n High Current Distributed Power Systems All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
