Product details
Overview
LM2852XMXA-2.5 from Texas Instruments is a 2 A synchronous buck regulator with fixed 2.5 V output, 1.5 MHz switching frequency, input voltage range of 2.85–5.5 V, internal 60 mΩ MOSFETs, and HTSSOP-14 package with exposed thermal pad. It delivers point-of-load power to FPGA core rails and low-voltage ASIC supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852XMXA-2.5 datasheet, LM2852XMXA-2.5 pinout, LM2852XMXA-2.5 application, or LM2852XMXA-2.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.5 MHz operation for compact filter design, factory-programmed 2.5 V output tolerance (±2.25%), split-rail AVIN/PVIN capability, and integrated type-three compensation eliminating external compensation components.
Technical Context
The LM2852XMXA-2.5 implements voltage-mode PWM control with internal type-three compensation, enabling stable regulation without external compensation network. Its 1.5 MHz switching frequency supports small inductors (e.g., 6.8–10 µH) and ceramic output capacitors with ESR <10 mΩ.
Split-rail architecture separates AVIN (logic bias, 2.85–5.5 V) from PVIN (power FET supply, ≤AVIN), allowing independent optimization of control and power paths. Internal PFET/NFET switches exhibit 75 mΩ/55 mΩ typical RDS(on) at 25°C, supporting up to 2 A continuous load with thermal shutdown at 165°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2.25% (2.444–2.556 V) over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature |
| Max Output Current | 2 A continuous; peak current limit 2.75–4.95 A ensures safe startup and overload protection |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5 MHz ±20% (1.05–1.825 MHz); enables compact 6.8–10 µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic output caps |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85–5.5 V on AVIN; PVIN ≤ AVIN, supporting split-rail operation for optimized efficiency |
| RDS(on) (PFET/NFET) | 75 mΩ / 55 mΩ typical at 25°C; reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency to ≥90% |
| Quiescent Current | 0.85 mA typical non-switching; 10 µA shutdown current minimizes battery drain in standby |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 39.2°C/W (HTSSOP-14); exposed pad enables high-power dissipation in space-constrained layouts |
Pinout & Package
LM2852XMXA-2.5 uses the 14-pin HTSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground for enhanced thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (Pin 1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to internal logic; must be ≥2.85 V and ≥PVIN; decoupling critical for noise immunity |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; tie to GND to disable; 75% AVIN threshold ensures robust enable/disable margin |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling into error amplifier and feedback path |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start timing | Connects to 1–50 nF capacitor; controls output ramp time and prevents inrush current during startup |
| NC (Pins 5,12,13) | No connect | Must be left floating or tied to GND; no internal connection; avoids parasitic coupling |
| PVIN (Pins 6,7) | Power FET supply | Drives internal high-side/low-side MOSFETs; requires low-impedance local bulk capacitance |
| SNS (Pin 14) | Output voltage sense | High-impedance feedback node; connect directly to load for accurate remote sensing and line-drop compensation |
| PGND (Pins 10,11) | Power ground return | Carries high di/dt switch currents; must connect to solid ground plane under exposed pad |
| SW (Pins 8,9) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short, wide traces and minimal loop area to reduce EMI |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed 2.5 V output | Eliminates external resistor divider; guarantees ±2.25% accuracy across temperature and line/load conditions |
| 1.5 MHz fixed-frequency operation | Enables use of sub-10 µH inductors and ceramic capacitors, reducing solution size by >40% vs 500 kHz variants |
| Internal type-three compensation | Removes need for external compensation network; simplifies design and improves stability across recommended L/C ranges |
| Split-rail AVIN/PVIN inputs | Allows independent optimization: AVIN can be derived from low-noise LDO while PVIN connects to noisy system rail |
| Exposed-pad HTSSOP-14 package | Reduces thermal resistance to 39.2°C/W; supports 2 A continuous operation without heatsink in standard 2-layer PCBs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2852YMXA-2.5 | 500 kHz switching frequency; higher inductance (10–15 µH) and larger output capacitance required | Better light-load efficiency; less suitable for ultra-compact designs due to larger magnetics | Select when EMI filtering is prioritized over board area; not drop-in due to different frequency-dependent component values |
| TPS54227 | 2.95–6.0 V input; 2 A; 700 kHz; integrated soft-start; no split-rail AVIN/PVIN support | Lacks AVIN/PVIN separation; requires single-input rail; lower RDS(on) (45/30 mΩ) improves full-load efficiency | Choose when input voltage exceeds 5.5 V or split-rail operation is unnecessary; requires layout revision for pinout and compensation |
Compared with LM2852YMXA-2.5, the LM2852XMXA-2.5 achieves 30% smaller solution size via 1.5 MHz operation but trades off light-load efficiency; versus TPS54227, it offers superior thermal management through the exposed-pad HTSSOP and flexible dual-rail biasing, albeit with tighter input voltage constraints.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM2852XMXA-2.5 over temperature and load?
The LM2852XMXA-2.5 has a factory-programmed 2.5 V output with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.25% (2.4437 V to 2.5563 V) across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and full 0–2 A load range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VOUT parameter for the 2.5-V option.
Does LM2852XMXA-2.5 support split-rail operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, LM2852XMXA-2.5 supports split-rail operation: AVIN (Pin 1) powers the control logic and must be ≥2.85 V, while PVIN (Pins 6,7) supplies the power FETs and must be ≤AVIN. This allows clean biasing of analog circuitry while drawing high-current pulses from a separate, noisier rail-critical for noise-sensitive applications.
What is the recommended soft-start capacitor value for LM2852XMXA-2.5, and why?
The recommended soft-start capacitor for LM2852XMXA-2.5 is 2.7 nF (e.g., Vishay VJ0805Y272KXXA), connected between SS (Pin 4) and GND. This value yields ~3 ms startup time, preventing inrush current and ensuring controlled output ramp-essential for avoiding bus faults in multi-rail systems powered by LM2852XMXA-2.5.
Can LM2852XMXA-2.5 operate with input voltage below 2.85 V?
No, LM2852XMXA-2.5 cannot operate reliably below 2.85 V on AVIN-the undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold is 2.85 V (rising) with 85–210 mV hysteresis. Below this, the device remains disabled; PVIN may be as low as 1.5 V per Recommended Operating Conditions, but only when AVIN is valid.
What thermal performance can be expected from LM2852XMXA-2.5 in a standard 2-layer PCB?
In a standard 2-layer PCB with the exposed thermal pad soldered to a 1-in² copper pour, LM2852XMXA-2.5 achieves RθJA = 39.2°C/W. At 2 A load and 5 V input, power dissipation is ~0.3 W, resulting in ~12°C junction-to-ambient rise-well within the 125°C max junction rating even at 85°C ambient.
