Product details
Overview
LM2852XMXA-1.8 from Texas Instruments is a 2A synchronous buck DC-DC regulator with fixed 1.8V output, 1.5MHz switching frequency, 2.85–5.5V input range, internal 60mΩ MOSFETs, and voltage-mode control in HTSSOP-14 package-designed for point-of-load regulation in FPGA core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852XMXA-1.8 datasheet, LM2852XMXA-1.8 pinout, LM2852XMXA-1.8 application, or LM2852XMXA-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5MHz operation enabling compact filter design, factory-set 1.8V output tolerance (±2.25%), soft-start capacitor programmability (1–50nF), and thermal shutdown at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis.
Technical Context
The LM2852XMXA-1.8 implements voltage-mode PWM control with integrated type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its 1.5MHz oscillator enables use of small-value inductors (e.g., 1µH) and ceramic output capacitors (e.g., 10µF), targeting high-density PCB layouts.
It features dual internal power MOSFETs (75mΩ PFET / 55mΩ NFET typical at 25°C), dedicated AVIN bias rail, separate PVIN power rail, and SNS pin for remote output voltage sensing-supporting stable regulation under dynamic load transients up to 2A.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8V ±2.25% (1.7595V to 1.8405V) over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature |
| Switching Frequency | 1500kHz ±21.7% (1050–1825kHz), enabling compact 1µH inductor and low-ESR ceramic capacitor designs |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85V to 5.5V on AVIN; PVIN supports same range but must be ≤ AVIN for split-rail operation |
| Max Load Current | 2A continuous output current with thermal shutdown activation at 165°C junction temperature |
| Quiescent Current | 0.85–2mA during normal operation; 10–25µA in shutdown (EN = 0V) |
| Peak Current Limit | 2.75–4.95A threshold ensures robust short-circuit protection without false triggering under transient loads |
| Line Regulation | 0.2–0.6% over full AVIN range, minimizing output variation when input supply fluctuates |
Pinout & Package
LM2852XMXA-1.8 is housed in a thermally enhanced 14-pin HTSSOP package (PWP0014A) with exposed die attach pad soldered to PCB ground for improved thermal dissipation (θJA = 38°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to internal logic; must be ≥ PVIN and within 2.85–5.5V |
| EN (2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; tie to GND to disable; 75% AVIN threshold for high, 25% for low |
| SGND (3) | Signal ground reference | Reference for error amplifier and internal circuitry; separate from PGND to reduce noise coupling |
| SS (4) | Soft-start timing | Connects to 1–50nF capacitor to control output ramp time; internal 400kΩ resistor sets RC time constant |
| NC (5,12,13) | No-connect | Must be left floating or tied to GND; no internal connection |
| PVIN (6,7) | Main power input | Supplies internal PFET source; connects directly to input bulk capacitor |
| SW (8,9) | Power switch node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short, wide trace routing |
| PGND (10,11) | Power ground return | High-current return path for internal NFET and inductor; connect to large copper plane |
| SNS (14) | Output voltage sense | Remote feedback input; connect directly to load for accurate regulation, minimizing IR drop |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed 1.8V output | Eliminates external resistor divider, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity while ensuring ±2.25% accuracy across temperature |
| Integrated type-three compensation | Enables stable loop response with recommended L/C values only-no external compensation network required |
| 1.5MHz fixed-frequency operation | Supports 1µH inductors and 10µF ceramic output capacitors, cutting solution size by >40% vs. 500kHz variants |
| Dual internal 60mΩ MOSFETs | Reduces conduction losses and eliminates gate-drive complexity; PFET/NFET RDS(on) specified over full temperature range |
| Separate AVIN and PVIN rails | Allows optimized biasing (e.g., 3.3V AVIN) while supporting higher PVIN (e.g., 5V), improving efficiency in mixed-voltage systems |

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LM2852XMXA-1.8?
The LM2852XMXA-1.8 operates at a fixed 1500kHz switching frequency, with guaranteed range of 1050–1825kHz over temperature and input voltage. This high-frequency capability allows use of small 1µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors, significantly reducing solution footprint compared to 500kHz alternatives like the LM2852YMXA-1.8.
Does the LM2852XMXA-1.8 require external compensation components?
No, the LM2852XMXA-1.8 integrates a complete type-three compensation network internally. This eliminates the need for external resistors or capacitors in the feedback loop, simplifying design and improving reliability-provided the recommended output inductor (1µH) and capacitor (10µF ceramic) values from the datasheet are used.
What is the maximum continuous output current for the LM2852XMXA-1.8?
The LM2852XMXA-1.8 delivers up to 2A continuous output current under proper thermal conditions. Its thermal shutdown activates at 165°C junction temperature with 10°C hysteresis, and the exposed-pad HTSSOP-14 package achieves 38°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance when properly soldered to a 1-in² copper area.
How is the 1.8V output voltage set on the LM2852XMXA-1.8?
The 1.8V output is factory-programmed into the LM2852XMXA-1.8 via internal DAC and resistor divider-no external feedback resistors are required. The output voltage is trimmed to 1.8V ±2.25% (1.7595V to 1.8405V) across –40°C to +125°C, verified during production test and documented in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the LM2852XMXA-1.8 operate with separate AVIN and PVIN supplies?
Yes, the LM2852XMXA-1.8 supports split-rail operation: AVIN powers the control logic (2.85–5.5V), while PVIN supplies the power FETs (same range, but must be ≤ AVIN). This allows optimization-for example, using 3.3V AVIN for low-noise biasing while running PVIN at 5V for higher efficiency in step-down conversion.
