Product details
Overview
LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 2 A synchronous buck regulator with fixed 1.2 V output, 1.5 MHz switching frequency, input voltage range of 2.85 V to 5.5 V, internal 60 mΩ MOSFETs, and HTSSOP-14 package with exposed thermal pad. It delivers point-of-load power for FPGA core rails in portable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB datasheet, LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB pinout, LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB application, or LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.5 MHz operation for compact filter design, factory-programmed 1.2 V output tolerance (±2.25%), and thermal performance enabled by the exposed-pad HTSSOP-14 package.
Technical Context
The LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB implements voltage-mode control with internal type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its 1.5 MHz fixed-frequency PWM generator enables use of small inductors (e.g., 1–3.3 µH) and ceramic output capacitors with ESR <10 mΩ.
Split-rail operation allows independent AVIN (logic bias) and PVIN (power FET supply) inputs, with PVIN ≤ AVIN. Switch-node protection logic disables switching under no-load conditions until load is applied, preventing erratic startup behavior.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±2.25% (0.782–1.227 V) over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature |
| Max Output Current | 2 A continuous; peak current limit 2.75–4.95 A ensures robust overload handling |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5 MHz (±25% over temperature); enables <3.3 µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic output caps |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85 V to 5.5 V; UVLO threshold 2.85 V (rising), 85–210 mV hysteresis |
| Efficiency | Up to 94% at 1.2 V/1 A with PVIN = 3.3 V; optimized for high efficiency in 1–2 A portable loads |
| Quiescent Current | 0.85 mA typical (non-switching), 10 µA shutdown current minimizes battery drain |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 39.2°C/W; RθJC(bot) = 1.7°C/W enables >1.5 W dissipation with PCB copper pour |
Pinout & Package
LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB uses a 14-pin HTSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (Pin 1) | Chip bias supply | Powers internal logic; must be ≥ PVIN and within 2.85–5.5 V |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; tie to GND to disable; 75% AVIN threshold for enable |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Separate from power ground to reduce noise coupling into feedback path |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start timing | Connects to 1–50 nF capacitor; sets controlled 3 ms startup ramp for 2.7 nF |
| NC (Pins 5, 12, 13) | No connect | Must be left floating or tied to GND; no internal connection |
| PVIN (Pins 6, 7) | Power FET supply | Drives internal PFET/NFET switches; connects to bulk input capacitor |
| SNS (Pin 14) | Output voltage sense | High-impedance feedback node; route directly to load for accurate regulation |
| PGND (Pins 10, 11) | Power ground return | Low-impedance return path for switch currents; connect to thermal pad and ground plane |
| SW (Pins 8, 9) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, wide trace to minimize EMI |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2852YMXA-1.2/NOPB | 500 kHz switching frequency; higher inductor values (10–15 µH) required; lower light-load efficiency | Better suited for cost-sensitive industrial applications where board space is less constrained | Select when EMI filtering is prioritized over size, or when legacy 500 kHz designs require drop-in replacement |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB across temperature?
The LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB guarantees ±2.25% output voltage tolerance (1.173 V to 1.227 V) over the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VOUT parameter for the 1.2-V option.
Can LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB operate with PVIN lower than AVIN, and what are the limits?
Yes - LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB supports split-rail operation where PVIN may be lower than AVIN, but PVIN must never exceed AVIN. PVIN must remain within 2.85 V to 5.5 V, and AVIN must be ≥ PVIN and also within 2.85 V to 5.5 V per Recommended Operating Conditions.
What soft-start capacitor value is recommended for LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB, and why?
A 2.7 nF ceramic capacitor is recommended for LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB's SS pin to achieve ~3 ms controlled startup. This value balances inrush current limiting with timely system boot, and falls within the validated 1–50 nF range that ensures proper fault recovery and soft-start capacitor tracking during short-circuit events.
Does LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB require external compensation components?
No - LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB integrates a complete type-three compensation network internally. This eliminates external resistors and capacitors from the feedback loop, simplifying design, improving stability across recommended L/C ranges, and reducing bill-of-materials count.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB, and what protection exists beyond that?
The absolute maximum PVIN/AVIN rating for LM2852XMXA-1.2/NOPB is 6.5 V. Exceeding this risks permanent damage. The device includes UVLO (2.85 V turn-on) and thermal shutdown (165°C with 10°C hysteresis), but no overvoltage protection circuitry - external TVS or clamp diodes are required if input transients exceed 6.5 V.
