Product details
Overview
LTM4709EY#PBF from Analog Devices is a triple-output, 3A per channel ultralow-noise µModule linear regulator with configurable digital output array, 45mV typical dropout at 3A, 1.3μVRMS (10Hz–100kHz) output noise, and 51dB PSRR at 1MHz - designed for post-regulation of FPGA core, RF transceiver, and high-precision ADC/DAC power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTM4709EY#PBF datasheet, LTM4709EY#PBF pinout, LTM4709EY#PBF application, or LTM4709EY#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include triple-channel voltage configurability (0.5V–4.2V), ±1.5% output regulation over line/load/temperature, precision current monitoring (±2.4% at 3A), and 6mm × 12mm BGA package thermal performance (θJCbottom = 3°C/W).
Technical Context
The LTM4709EY#PBF integrates three independent low-dropout linear regulators with internal pass MOSFETs, reference circuitry, compensation, and filtering capacitors in a single BGA module. Each channel features digitally programmable output voltage via tri-state VOx0/VOx1/VOx2 pins and supports Kelvin sensing (VOUTSx) for point-of-load regulation.
It employs an N-channel source-follower architecture enabling ultrafast transient response with only 10μF ceramic output capacitance, while VIOC1 provides closed-loop control of upstream buck converters to maintain optimal VIN–VOUT headroom for efficiency and PSRR preservation - a function exclusive to Channel 1 in multi-channel operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | 3A per channel × 3 channels; supports parallel operation up to 9A total with shared bias and enable control. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.5V–4.2V digitally selectable: 50mV steps (0.5–1.2V), 100mV steps (1.2–1.8V), discrete levels at 2V/2.5V/3V/3.3V/4.2V. |
| RMS Output Noise | 1.3μVRMS (10Hz–100kHz); achieved without external VREF bypass capacitor - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |
| PSRR @ 1MHz | 51dB at 3A load and 300mV VIN–VOUT differential; enables effective rejection of switching ripple from upstream DC/DC converters. |
| Dropout Voltage | 45mV typical at 3A (VOUT = 1.2V); enables operation with minimal input–output headroom, critical for low-voltage core supplies. |
| Current Monitor Accuracy | ±2.4% at 3A per channel; IMONx outputs current proportional to IOUT/3000, supporting real-time energy management and fault detection. |
| Thermal Performance | θJCbottom = 3°C/W; junction temperature rise <70°C at 9A total output and 25°C ambient - validated on demo board per JESD-51. |
Pinout & Package
The LTM4709EY#PBF is housed in a 98-pin BGA package measuring 6mm × 12mm × 1.92mm with 0.8mm ball pitch and SAC305 RoHS-compliant finish. Thermal performance is optimized via bottom-side thermal pad (GND balls) and top-side copper exposure.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN1/VIN2/VIN3 | Input supply for each channel | Accepts 0.6V–5.5V; requires ≥4.7μF local ceramic decoupling per channel to suppress input impedance peaks. |
| VOUT1/VOUT2/VOUT3 | Main regulated output terminals | Deliver up to 3A each; require ≥10μF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitance per channel for stability and transient response. |
| VOUTS1/VOUTS2/VOUTS3 | Kelvin sense inputs | Connect directly to load for precise point-of-load regulation; eliminates PCB trace IR drop error in sensitive applications. |
| VO10/VO11/VO12 (etc.) | Digital output voltage select | Three-state logic (Low/Hi-Z/High) sets nominal VOUT per channel per Table 1; enables dynamic reconfiguration without external DAC. |
| IMON1/IMON2/IMON3 | Current monitor output | Sources IOUT/3000 current; termination to GND with resistor yields voltage proportional to load current for telemetry or limiting. |
| VIOC1 | Input-to-output voltage control | Drives upstream buck feedback node to maintain constant (VIN–VOUT); exclusive to Channel 1 - enables adaptive headroom optimization. |
| EN1/EN2/EN3 | Channel enable inputs | Active-high logic; pull to BIASn if unused; supports independent sequencing or simultaneous turn-on of all three channels. |
| PG1/PG2/PG3 | Open-drain power good flags | Assert low on VOUT <93% nominal (rising), <90% (falling), BIAS UVLO, or Tj >168°C; internally pulled up via PGRx resistors. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple 3A configurable output array | Enables single-package power delivery to multi-rail SoCs/FPGAs with independent voltage programming per rail - eliminates discrete LDO count and layout mismatch. |

| 51dB PSRR at 1MHz | Rejects high-frequency switching noise from upstream DC/DC converters, preserving signal integrity in mixed-signal systems. |
| VIOC1 adaptive headroom control | Automatically adjusts upstream buck output to maintain optimal VIN–VOUT differential - maximizes efficiency while sustaining PSRR and thermal margin. |
| ±1.5% output regulation over line/load/temp | Guarantees stable core voltage under varying processor load, input sag, and ambient conditions - critical for deterministic digital timing. |
| Integrated 2.2μF VREF bypass capacitor | Eliminates need for external reference capacitor, reducing component count and PCB area while ensuring soft-start and low-noise reference stability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triple-output linear regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTM4700IY#PBF | Single 10A output; no digital voltage selection; fixed 0.6V–3.3V via external resistor; higher RMS noise (2.2μVRMS). | Best for high-current single-rail applications (e.g., GPU core) where multi-voltage flexibility is unnecessary. | Select LTM4700IY#PBF when total current demand exceeds 9A and rail count is ≤1 - avoids channel paralleling complexity. |

FAQ
What is the maximum supported output voltage for LTM4709EY#PBF and how is it selected?
The LTM4709EY#PBF supports output voltages from 0.5V to 4.2V per channel. Selection is performed digitally using three tri-state pins per channel (VOx0/VOx1/VOx2), where logic states (Low/Hi-Z/High) define a 3-bit code per Table 1 in the datasheet. Discrete levels include 2V, 2.5V, 3V, 3.3V, and 4.2V; intermediate values use 50mV or 100mV increments depending on range. The LTM4709EY#PBF does not support analog voltage setting or external feedback resistors.
Does LTM4709EY#PBF require external capacitors for stable operation?
Yes - the LTM4709EY#PBF requires minimum 10μF X5R/X7R ceramic output capacitance per channel (VOUTx to GND) and ≥4.7μF ceramic input capacitance per VINx for stability and optimal transient response. While internal 2.2μF VREF bypass capacitors eliminate the need for external reference caps, COUT and CIN must be placed close to respective pins per layout guidelines. The LTM4709EY#PBF is not stable with tantalum or electrolytic capacitors alone.
How does the VIOC1 pin function in LTM4709EY#PBF and which channels support it?
The VIOC1 pin on the LTM4709EY#PBF enables closed-loop control of an upstream buck converter to maintain a constant (VIN–VOUT) differential - optimizing efficiency while preserving PSRR. It outputs a voltage equal to (VIN–VOUT) + 800mV and connects directly to the buck's feedback (VFB) pin. This function is available only on Channel 1; Channels 2 and 3 lack VIOC capability. The LTM4709EY#PBF datasheet specifies that VIOC1 must not be used for Channels 2 or 3.
What is the accuracy and operating range of the current monitor in LTM4709EY#PBF?
The LTM4709EY#PBF provides ±2.4% current monitor accuracy at full 3A load per channel, with IMONx pins sourcing IOUT/3000 current. At 3A, this yields ~1mA output; at 1A, ~333μA. The monitor operates across the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range and supports current limiting by terminating IMONx to GND with a resistor (e.g., 1.5kΩ sets 2A limit). The LTM4709EY#PBF integrates 909Ω resistors between IMONx and IMONRx pins for factory-set 3.3A limiting when IMONRx is grounded.
Can multiple LTM4709EY#PBF units be paralleled for higher current, and what design considerations apply?
Yes - multiple LTM4709EY#PBF units can be paralleled to deliver >9A total current. Key requirements include tying all BIAS pins together, synchronizing ENx signals, connecting all VIOC1 pins to the same upstream buck VFB node (if used), and matching output voltages within ±1% to ensure current sharing. The LTM4709EY#PBF datasheet confirms parallel operation is supported, but recommends Kelvin sensing (VOUTSx) and careful thermal management due to cumulative power dissipation.
