Product details
Overview
LM2832YMY from Texas Instruments is a monolithic, current-mode PWM step-down DC-DC regulator in an 8-pin eMSOP-PowerPAD package, delivering 2.0A output at 3.3V from a 5V input. It integrates a 150 mΩ PMOS switch, features 0.6V ±2% internal reference, 550 kHz fixed switching frequency, and internal soft-start for controlled ramp-up. It serves as a compact, high-efficiency local power supply in USB-powered devices and set-top boxes.
For engineers reviewing the LM2832YMY datasheet, LM2832YMY pinout, LM2832YMY application, or LM2832YMY equivalent, key selection considerations include its 550 kHz switching frequency, 3.0V–5.5V input range, 0.6V–4.5V adjustable output, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and enable-controlled ultra-low 30 nA shutdown current.
Technical Context
The LM2832YMY employs current-mode PWM control with internal compensation, enabling stable regulation across wide load and line variations without external loop components. Its 550 kHz fixed-frequency oscillator supports fast transient response and allows use of small ceramic capacitors and low-profile inductors.
It integrates a 150 mΩ PMOS power switch, cycle-by-cycle current limiting (typ. 3.25A), undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.73V turn-on and 430 mV hysteresis, and output overvoltage protection triggered at 15% above VFB. The internal 0.6V reference and FB pin enable precise output voltage setting via external resistor divider.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V - supports direct operation from USB 5V or single-cell Li-ion with LDO pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | 2.0A continuous - sufficient for powering core logic, FPGAs, or SoCs in space-constrained applications. |
| Switching Frequency | 0.55 MHz - enables use of ≤2.2 µH inductors and 22 µF ceramic output capacitors, minimizing PCB footprint. |
| Feedback Reference | 0.600 V ±2% - sets output voltage accuracy; enables 3.3V output with R1/R2 = 4.5kΩ/10kΩ divider. |
| Quiescent Current | 2.8–4.5 mA (switching), 30 nA (shutdown) - ensures minimal standby power loss in battery-backed systems. |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C activation - protects against sustained overload or poor heatsinking; auto-recovery at ~150°C. |
| Enable Threshold | 1.8 V (min), 0.4 V (max shutdown) - compatible with standard GPIOs and supports clean power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
The LM2832YMY is housed in an 8-pin eMSOP-PowerPAD package with exposed thermal pad (DAP) that must be soldered to system ground for effective heat dissipation. Package dimensions: 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.8 mm, 0.65 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIND | Power input supply | Main power rail connection; accepts 3.0–5.5V; requires local 22 µF input capacitor. |
| VINA | Control circuitry supply | Bias supply for internal logic; must be tied directly to VIND on PCB to ensure stable reference operation. |
| EN | Enable control input | Active-high logic input; floating or >VINA+0.3V causes undefined behavior; 30 nA shutdown current when pulled low. |
| GND (Pins 3, 5, 7) | Signal & power ground | Primary return path; feedback resistor bottom end must connect here to minimize noise coupling. |
| FB | Feedback sensing node | High-impedance input (100 nA bias); connects to resistor divider midpoint to regulate output voltage. |
| SW | Switch node output | Drives external inductor and Schottky catch diode; experiences full VIN-to-ground swing during switching. |
| DAP | Die attach pad | Thermal interface only - must be soldered to solid GND plane with ≥4 thermal vias; not a functional signal pin. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal soft-start | Ramps reference voltage over ~600 µs to limit inrush current and prevent output overshoot during startup. |
| Current-mode PWM control | Enables inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting and stable operation without external compensation components. |
| Output overvoltage protection | Shuts down SW when FB exceeds 15% above 0.6V reference, preventing damage to downstream 3.3V logic. |
| Thermal shutdown with hysteresis | Halts switching at 165°C junction temperature and resumes only after cooling to ~150°C, avoiding thermal oscillation. |
| Ultra-low shutdown current | 30 nA enables multi-year battery life in always-on IoT sensors powered by coin cells or energy harvesters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2832XMY | 1.6 MHz switching frequency, higher DMAX (94%), lower minimum duty cycle (5%) - optimized for lower output voltages and smaller inductors. | Better suited for 1.2V/1.8V core rails; less optimal for 3.3V outputs due to reduced duty cycle headroom at 5V input. | Select LM2832XMY only when targeting sub-2V outputs or requiring smallest possible magnetics; LM2832YMY remains preferred for 3.3V/5V conversion. |
| TPS62231DRVR | 3 MHz fixed frequency, 2A rating, 2.05V–6.5V input, 0.6V reference, but uses external compensation and lacks integrated OVP/thermal shutdown. | Requires additional components for stability and protection; higher design complexity but offers tighter output voltage accuracy (±1%). | Choose TPS62231DRVR only if ±1% output tolerance is mandatory and board area allows extra passives; LM2832YMY provides faster time-to-market with full protection integration. |
Compared with LM2832XMY and TPS62231DRVR, the LM2832YMY delivers optimal balance of simplicity (no external compensation), robustness (integrated OVP, UVLO, thermal shutdown), and 3.3V-specific performance - making it the most production-ready choice for USB-powered and consumer electronics applications.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for LM2832YMY?
The LM2832YMY datasheet specifies a 22 µF multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) with X7R or X5R dielectric as the recommended input capacitor. It must have low ESL and be rated for ≥6.3V. Placement must be adjacent to VIND and GND pins, with short, wide traces to minimize impedance and prevent input voltage droop during switching transitions. The LM2832YMY's 550 kHz frequency makes leaded capacitors unsuitable due to excessive ESL.
Can LM2832YMY be used to generate 3.3V from a 5V input?
Yes, the LM2832YMY is explicitly validated for 3.3V output at 2.0A from a 5V input, as shown in the Typical Application Circuit and Figure 5 (η vs Load). With VFB = 0.600 V, a resistor divider of R1 = 4.5 kΩ and R2 = 10 kΩ sets VO = 3.3V. Efficiency reaches 88% under these conditions, and thermal performance remains within specification when the DAP is properly soldered to a GND plane.
Does LM2832YMY require external compensation components?
No, the LM2832YMY uses internally compensated current-mode control architecture. No external compensation network (e.g., type-II or type-III compensator) is required. This simplifies design, reduces component count, and eliminates tuning effort - a key differentiator versus controller-based buck ICs. Stability is ensured across the full 3.0V–5.5V input and 0.6V–4.5V output ranges.
What is the function of the DAP pin on LM2832YMY?
On the LM2832YMY, the DAP (Die Attach Pad) is a thermally conductive exposed pad on the underside of the 8-pin eMSOP-PowerPAD package. It must be soldered to a solid GND plane using ≥4 thermal vias to achieve the specified θJA = 80°C/W. It serves exclusively for heat dissipation and cannot be used as a functional ground connection - all signal and power returns must use dedicated GND pins (3, 5, 7).
How does LM2832YMY handle overcurrent conditions?
The LM2832YMY implements cycle-by-cycle current limiting that triggers when switch current exceeds 2.4A (min) - typically 3.25A. During overload, the internal PMOS switch turns off each cycle once the current sense threshold is reached, maintaining constant peak current while reducing duty cycle. This prevents thermal runaway and allows safe operation into short-circuit conditions until thermal shutdown activates at 165°C junction temperature.
