Product details
Overview
LM2832XMY from Texas Instruments is a monolithic, high-frequency PWM step-down DC-DC regulator in an 8-pin eMSOP-PowerPAD package, delivering up to 2.0A output current with 0.6V internal reference and 1.6MHz fixed switching frequency. It integrates a 150mΩ PMOS switch and supports input voltages from 3.0V to 5.5V, targeting compact local power conversion in USB-powered devices and set-top boxes.
For engineers reviewing the LM2832XMY datasheet, LM2832XMY pinout, LM2832XMY application, or LM2832XMY equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 1.6MHz operation, thermal shutdown at 165°C, 30nA shutdown current, ±2% feedback voltage accuracy, and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors for low-ripple, high-transient-response designs.
Technical Context
The LM2832XMY employs current-mode PWM control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide load and input ranges without external loop components. Its 1.6MHz oscillator supports ultra-small inductors (e.g., 1.0–2.2µH) and ceramic capacitors while maintaining fast transient response.
It features cycle-by-cycle current limiting (typ. 3.25A), internal soft-start (~600µs ramp), overvoltage protection (15% above VREF), and undervoltage lockout with 430mV hysteresis (2.73V turn-on, 2.3V turn-off). The 0.6V feedback reference enables precise output setting via external resistor divider.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 1.6 MHz - enables use of sub-2.2 µH inductors and 22 µF ceramic output capacitors, minimizing PCB area. |
| Output Current | 2.0 A - continuous regulated load capability with internal 150 mΩ PMOS switch and thermal shutdown at 165°C. |
| Feedback Voltage | 0.600 V ±2% - sets output voltage via external resistor divider; supports 0.6V–4.5V range with high accuracy. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, USB 5V, and 3.3V/5V rail systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.8–4.5 mA (switching), 30 nA (shutdown) - enables ultra-low standby power in battery-backed applications. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 80 °C/W, θJC = 18 °C/W - requires exposed DAP soldered to ground plane for reliable 2A operation at +125°C ambient. |
| Enable Threshold | VEN_TH = 1.8 V - logic-compatible enable with 0.4 V shutdown threshold; prevents false turn-on during brownout. |
Pinout & Package
The LM2832XMY is housed in an 8-pin eMSOP-PowerPAD package with exposed die attach pad (DAP) for enhanced thermal dissipation. DAP must be soldered to system ground but cannot serve as primary GND connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIND | Power Input Supply | Main input voltage rail (3.0–5.5V); connects to input capacitor and shares node with VINA. |
| VINA | Control Circuitry Supply | Bias supply for internal circuitry; must be tied directly to VIND on PCB for stable operation. |
| GND (Pins 3, 5, 7) | Signal & Power Ground | Common return for feedback network, SW node path, and internal circuits; bottom resistor of FB divider must be placed adjacent to Pin 3. |
| EN | Enable Control Input | Active-high logic input; floating or >VINA+0.3V causes undefined behavior; 30nA shutdown current enables battery longevity. |
| FB | Feedback Input | High-impedance (≤100 nA bias) node sensing output voltage via resistor divider; trace must be short and noise-shielded. |
| SW | Switch Node Output | Drives external inductor and catch diode; swings from ~VIN to −0.4V (Schottky VF); high dv/dt node requiring tight layout. |
| DAP | Die Attach Pad | Thermal interface only; must be soldered to large copper pour connected to GND for θJC = 18 °C/W performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Current-mode PWM control | Enables stable regulation with minimal external components; eliminates need for external compensation network. |
| Internal soft-start (600 µs) | Controls output voltage ramp rate to limit inrush current into bulk capacitance and downstream loads. |
| Overvoltage protection (OVP) | Shuts down SW when FB exceeds 1.15×VREF (≈0.69V), protecting downstream 3.3V logic from overvoltage faults. |
| Pulse-by-pulse current limit | Clamps peak switch current at ≥2.4A (min) to prevent damage during overload or short-circuit conditions. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Disables switching at 165°C junction temperature; resumes operation only after cooling to ~150°C, preventing thermal cycling. |
Applications
| USB-Powered Devices | Set-Top Boxes |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2832XMM | Same 1.6MHz frequency and 2A rating, but in 6-pin WSON package with smaller footprint (2.0mm × 2.0mm) and higher θJA (90°C/W). | Limited thermal headroom at full 2A load in still air; unsuitable for sealed enclosures above +70°C ambient. | Select LM2832XMM only when board area is critical and thermal derating to 1.5A is acceptable. |
| TPS62231DRVR | 1.6MHz synchronous buck, 2A, 0.6V reference, but uses integrated Schottky-free synchronous rectification and lower IQ (17µA shutdown). | Higher light-load efficiency due to synchronous architecture; lacks OVP and UVLO hysteresis per datasheet. | Choose TPS62231DRVR where >90% efficiency at 10mA load matters more than fault protection robustness. |
Compared with LM2832XMM, the LM2832XMY offers superior thermal performance (θJC = 18°C/W vs. not specified) and higher reliability at full 2A load; versus TPS62231DRVR, it provides stronger protection features (OVP, UVLO hysteresis, thermal shutdown) at the cost of slightly lower light-load efficiency.

FAQ
What is the exact switching frequency of the LM2832XMY?
The LM2832XMY has a fixed internal switching frequency of 1.6 MHz, confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (FSW = 1.2–1.95 MHz, typ. 1.6 MHz) and Typical Performance Characteristics (Figure 10). This frequency is factory-trimmed and does not require external timing components.
Does the LM2832XMY support adjustable output voltage?
Yes, the LM2832XMY supports adjustable output voltage from 0.6V to 4.5V using an external resistor divider connected to the FB pin. With its 0.600V ±2% internal reference, output voltage is calculated as VOUT = 0.6V × (1 + R1/R2), where R2 connects FB to GND.
What is the maximum continuous output current for the LM2832XMY?
The LM2832XMY delivers up to 2.0A continuous output current under recommended thermal conditions: eMSOP-PowerPAD package with DAP soldered to ≥4 thermal vias connected to inner ground plane, ambient ≤+125°C, and proper PCB copper area.
How does the LM2832XMY handle overvoltage conditions?
The LM2832XMY includes dedicated overvoltage protection (OVP) that disables the internal PMOS switch when the FB pin voltage exceeds 15% above the 0.6V reference (i.e., >0.69V), allowing the output to decay safely. This protects downstream 3.3V logic from fault-induced overvoltage.
Is the LM2832XMY pin-compatible with other LM2832 variants like LM2832Y or LM2832Z?
No - LM2832XMY (1.6MHz, eMSOP-8) is not pin-compatible with LM2832Y (0.55MHz) or LM2832Z (3.0MHz), as all share identical pinouts and package footprints but differ only in factory-set oscillator frequency. Frequency variant selection is purely electrical; no PCB change is needed when swapping within the same package type.
