MILPITAS, CA August 12, 2015 Linear Technology Corporation announces the LTC3886, a 60V input dual output synchronous stepdown DC/DC controller with programmable loop compensation and I²Cbased PMBus interface. This controller employs a constantfrequency, currentmode architecture with programmable output voltage up to
13.8V. The LTC3886 is ideal for harsh environments requiring a high input voltage range commonly found in factory automation, industrial, medical, communications and avionic applications.
The LTC3886 can be configured for dual or single output and is stackable up to 6 phases to support load current as high as 120A. Interleaved clock phasing for 2, 3, 4 or 6 phases reduces the input and output ripple, thereby reducing
input and output capacitance. This device is supported by the LTpowerPlay™ software development tool with
graphical user interface (GUI). Its serial I²Cbased interface enables system designers and remote operators to command and supervise a system's power condition and consumption. The capability to digitally change power supply parameters reduces timetomarket and down time, eliminating what would typically require physical hardware, circuit or system billofmaterial modifications. The LTC3886 simplifies system characterization, optimization and data mining during prototyping, deployment and field operation.
In addition to delivering power to a pointofload, the LTC3886 features configurability and telemetry monitoring of power and power management parameters over PMBus an open standard I²Cbased digital serial interface protocol. The LTC3886's 2wire serial interface enables outputs to be margined, tuned and ramped up and down at programmable slew rates with sequenced delay times. Input and output voltages, along with input and output currents and temperature are readable. The device is comprised of fast, dual analog control loops, precision mixed signal circuitry and EEPROM, and is housed in a 7mm x 8mm QFN52 package.
To evaluate the performance of the LTC3886, the LTpowerPlay GUI is free for download. USBtoPMBus converter and demo kits are also available. With ±0.5% maximum DC output error over temperature, ±1.5% current read back accuracy, integrated 16bit Delta Sigma ADC and EEPROM, the LTC3886 combines bestinclass analog switching regulator performance with precision mixed signal data acquisition. Channels can accurately share current in both steady state and transient conditions. At startup, output voltages, switching frequency and channel phase angle assignments can be set by pinstrapping resistors or loaded from internal EEPROM. The LTC3886 operating
junction temperature range is from 40°C to 125°C. 1,000piece price is $6.35 each. For more information, visit www.linear.com/product/LTC3886.
