Product details
Overview
LTM8003HY from Analog Devices is a 40V input, 3.5A continuous Silent Switcher µModule step-down regulator in a thermally enhanced BGA package. It delivers fixed 3.3V output with FMEA-compliant pinout, supports 3.4V–40V input, operates up to 3MHz switching frequency, and maintains regulation during adjacent-pin shorts-designed for automotive battery regulation and high-density point-of-load applications.
For engineers reviewing the LTM8003HY datasheet, LTM8003HY pinout, LTM8003HY application, or LTM8003HY equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, thermal derating curves, CISPR25 Class 5 EMI performance data, and validated alternative selection guidance for industrial and automotive power designs.
Technical Context
The LTM8003HY integrates current-mode PWM control, internal power switches, a 1.3µH inductor, and support components into a single over-molded BGA. Its Silent Switcher architecture uses dual, opposing current loops and integrated capacitors to suppress magnetic field emissions, enabling CISPR25 Class 5 compliance without external shielding.
It features programmable switching frequency (200kHz–3MHz) via RT resistor, selectable operating modes via SYNC pin (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, spread spectrum, or external synchronization), and FMEA-compliant pinout where PG remains low during adjacent-pin faults or floating pins-ensuring predictable behavior in safety-critical systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.4V to 40V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V automotive batteries and wide-input industrial supplies. |
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V - factory-trimmed, no external feedback resistors required; FB regulated to 970mV internally. |
| Continuous Output Current | 3.5A at TJ ≤ 150°C - derated per ambient temperature and input voltage; peak current capability is 6A. |
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz to 3MHz - set by RT-to-GND resistor; enables optimization of size vs. efficiency vs. EMI. |
| Quiescent Current | 25µA at 5VOUT - ultra-low standby consumption ideal for always-on automotive modules. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +150°C (H-grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive and high-temperature industrial environments. |
| EMI Performance | CISPR25 Class 5 compliant - meets stringent automotive radiated emission limits without added filters or shields. |
| Package | 48-ball BGA, 9mm × 6.25mm × 3.32mm - thermally enhanced for bottom-side heat transfer; RoHS-compliant SAC305 finish. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball BGA (9mm × 6.25mm × 3.32mm), thermally enhanced, RoHS-compliant SAC305 finish, MSL Level 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (A1, A6, C2, D2, E2, F5, G5, H5) | Power Ground | Primary thermal path and return for high-current loops; must connect to large local ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
| VIN (C3, D3, E3, F3) | Input Power Supply | Supplies internal regulator and power switches; requires local low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor (≥4.7µF). |
| VOUT (C4, D4, E4, F4) | Regulated Output | Delivers 3.3V at up to 3.5A; connects to output filter capacitor (≥47µF) and load. |
| BIAS (G1, G2) | Bias Supply Input | Accepts 3.2V–18V external bias; when tied to VOUT (3.3V), improves light-load efficiency by powering control circuitry externally. |
| RUN (B5, B6) | Enable/Shutdown Control | Pull below 0.9V to disable; pull ≥1.06V to enable; internal pull-up allows tie-to-VIN for always-on operation. |
| PG (B1, C1) | Power Good Output | Open-collector signal goes high when FB reaches 90%–110% of 970mV; valid only when VIN > 3.4V and RUN is active. |
| SYNC (A2, B2) | Mode Selection & Sync Input | GND = Burst Mode®; float = pulse-skipping; 2.9V–4.2V = spread spectrum; driven clock = external sync (pulse-skipping mode). |
| RT (A4, A5) | Frequency Set Input | Resistor-to-GND sets switching frequency (200kHz–3MHz); sensitive to stray capacitance-keep trace short and unshielded. |
| TR/SS (A3, B3) | Soft-Start / Tracking Input | Internal 2µA current source charges external capacitor for soft-start; also accepts tracking voltage for sequencing with other rails. |
| FB (F1, F2) | Feedback Reference | Internally regulated to 970mV; unused in fixed 3.3V version (LTM8003HY-3.3); not connected on board. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FMEA-Compliant Pinout | PG stays low and output remains regulated during adjacent-pin shorts or floating pins-critical for ASIL-B/C system robustness. |
| Silent Switcher Architecture | Dual-loop layout and integrated bypass capacitors reduce peak radiated emissions by >20dB vs. conventional µModules, enabling CISPR25 Class 5 compliance. |
| H-Grade Temperature Rating | Guaranteed operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature-supports under-hood automotive placement without derating penalties. |
| Ultra-Low Quiescent Current | 25µA at 5VOUT in shutdown-enables always-on functionality in battery-powered telematics and ADAS modules. |
| Flexible Frequency & Mode Control | Single RT resistor sets 200kHz–3MHz fSW; SYNC pin selects Burst Mode®, spread spectrum, or external sync-no additional ICs needed. |
| Integrated Inductor & Controller | 1.3µH inductor, MOSFETs, and current-mode controller embedded in BGA-reduces design cycle time and PCB area by >50% vs. discrete solutions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down µModule applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTM8003IY-3.3#PBF | I-grade (–40°C to +125°C) instead of H-grade; identical electrical specs and pinout. | Not rated for under-hood automotive use above 125°C junction; suitable for interior electronics and industrial controls. | Select when ambient temperature constraints allow lower max junction temp and cost sensitivity favors I-grade. |
| LTM4644EY#PBF | Quad 3A output, 36VIN, but larger 15mm × 15mm × 4.92mm package; higher quiescent current (45µA). | Supports multi-rail sequencing and independent output programming; less suitable for single-rail space-constrained designs. | Choose when multiple synchronized 3.3V rails are needed on one board, and board area permits larger footprint. |
Compared with LTM8003IY-3.3#PBF, the LTM8003HY-3.3#PBF enables higher-temperature deployment without derating; versus LTM4644EY#PBF, it offers 42% smaller footprint and 44% lower quiescent current for single-rail applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output current of the LTM8003HY under typical operating conditions?
The LTM8003HY delivers 3.5A continuous output current when junction temperature is maintained at or below 150°C. Derating curves in the datasheet show that at 70°C ambient with 12VIN and still air, full 3.5A is achievable; at 100°C ambient, output current reduces to ~2.6A. Peak current capability is 6A for short-duration transients.
Does the LTM8003HY require external feedback resistors to set its 3.3V output?
No, the LTM8003HY is the fixed-output variant (LTM8003HY-3.3#PBF) and does not require external feedback resistors. The 3.3V output is factory-trimmed and internally regulated via a 970mV reference at the FB pin. The FB pins (F1, F2) remain unconnected on the PCB.
How does the FMEA-compliant pinout of the LTM8003HY improve system reliability?
The LTM8003HY's FMEA-compliant pinout ensures that if any pin is shorted to an adjacent pin or left floating, the device maintains safe behavior: the PG pin stays low (indicating fault), and the output voltage remains at or below regulation. This prevents undetected overvoltage conditions in safety-critical automotive and industrial systems.
Can the LTM8003HY be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the voltage requirements?
Yes, the LTM8003HY supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin (A2, B2). To enable sync mode, drive SYNC with a CMOS-compatible clock signal (0V to VIN) at the desired frequency. The part will operate in pulse-skipping mode while locked to the external clock, maintaining regulation across load transients.
What thermal interface recommendations apply to the LTM8003HY's BGA package?
The LTM8003HY relies on thermal conduction through its bottom-side GND balls. Use ≥8 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter, filled or capped) under the package, connected to an internal or bottom-layer solid copper plane. Maintain ≥10mm² of exposed copper on the primary GND layer beneath the device, and avoid solder mask over thermal pads to maximize heat transfer.
