Product details
Overview
LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 2 A synchronous buck DC-DC regulator with fixed 2.5 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 high-efficiency point-of-load power for FPGA core rails and portable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB application, or LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include 1.5 MHz operation enabling compact filter design, factory-programmed 2.5 V output with ±2.25% tolerance at 25°C, split-rail AVIN/PVIN capability, and integrated type-three compensation eliminating external compensation components.
Technical Context
The LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB implements voltage-mode PWM control with internal oscillator set to 1.5 MHz (±25% over temperature), uses internal type-three compensation for loop stability, and features separate AVIN (logic bias) and PVIN (power FET supply) rails supporting optimized thermal and noise isolation. Its soft-start circuitry charges via internal 400 kΩ resistor and external CSS capacitor (1–50 nF).
Protection includes UVLO on AVIN (2.85 V rising threshold, 85 mV hysteresis), thermal shutdown at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis, and current-limit threshold of 2.75–4.95 A. The device operates across –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and achieves up to 96% peak efficiency at 3.3 V input / 2.5 V / 1 A output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2.25% (2.4437–2.5563 V) at TJ = 25°C; factory EEPROM-programmed, no external feedback required |
| Max Output Current | 2 A continuous; supports transient loads up to current-limit threshold (2.75–4.95 A) |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5 MHz nominal (1050–1825 kHz over –40°C to +125°C); enables use of small inductors (e.g., 1–10 µH) and ceramic output capacitors |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85 V to 5.5 V on AVIN; PVIN must be ≤ AVIN and ≥1.5 V - supports single-supply or split-rail operation |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% at PVIN = 3.3 V, VOUT = 2.5 V, ILOAD = 1 A; >84% down to 0.1 A load |
| Quiescent Current | 0.85 mA typical (non-switching, TJ = 25°C); 2 mA max over full temperature range |
| Shutdown Current | 10 µA typical (EN = 0 V, TJ = 25°C); 25 µA max over full temperature range |
Pinout & Package
LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB is housed in a 14-pin HTSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation (RθJA = 39.2°C/W, RθJC(bot) = 1.7°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (Pin 1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to internal logic; must be ≥2.85 V; may be tied to PVIN or separate low-noise rail |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; connect to GND to disable; logic-high threshold is 75% of AVIN |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Reference for error amplifier and SNS pin; must be connected to clean analog ground plane |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start timing | Charged by internal 400 kΩ resistor; external capacitor (1–50 nF) sets startup ramp time (e.g., 2.7 nF ≈ 3 ms) |
| 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 high-side and low-side MOSFETs; connects directly to input bulk capacitor |
| SNS (Pin 14) | Output voltage sense | High-impedance feedback node; connect directly to load for accurate regulation; requires Kelvin trace routing |
| PGND (Pins 10, 11) | Power ground return | Low-impedance return path for switch currents; must tie to large copper pour or internal ground plane |
| SW (Pins 8, 9) | Switch node | Connects to output inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, wide trace to minimize EMI and losses |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 60 mΩ MOSFETs | Eliminates need for external power switches; reduces BOM count and layout complexity while maintaining 2 A capability |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB | Same pinout and function but 500 kHz switching frequency; higher inductor/capacitor values required (e.g., 10–15 µH, 100–220 µF) | Better light-load efficiency below 100 mA; suited for thermally constrained but size-tolerant designs | Select when lower EMI at sub-MHz frequencies or legacy 500 kHz filter designs are prioritized over miniaturization |

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB and how does it affect component selection?
The LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB operates at a nominal 1.5 MHz switching frequency (1050–1825 kHz over temperature). This high frequency allows use of smaller inductors (1–10 µH) and ceramic output capacitors (≤100 µF), significantly reducing solution size versus 500 kHz alternatives like the LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB. Inductor saturation current and capacitor ESR must still meet ripple and stability requirements per TI's recommended ranges in the datasheet.
Does the LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB require external feedback resistors to set its 2.5 V output?
No. The LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB has a factory-programmed 2.5 V output stored in internal EEPROM - no external feedback resistors are needed. This eliminates resistor tolerance errors and layout sensitivity, ensuring ±2.25% output accuracy at 25°C and simplifying design validation. The SNS pin connects directly to the load for remote sensing.
How does the split-rail AVIN/PVIN architecture of the LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB improve system performance?
The LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB separates AVIN (logic bias) and PVIN (power FET supply), allowing independent optimization: AVIN can be a clean, low-noise 3.3 V rail for analog circuits, while PVIN handles noisy high-current switching. This improves PSRR, reduces coupling of switching noise into sensitive analog blocks, and enables better thermal partitioning - a key advantage over single-rail regulators like the TPS62865ARGTR.
What thermal management features does the LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB include?
The LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB integrates thermal shutdown at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis, preventing damage during overload or poor airflow. Its HTSSOP-14 package includes an exposed thermal pad (RθJC(bot) = 1.7°C/W) that must be soldered to a large PCB copper pour. Combined with low RDS(on) MOSFETs (75/55 mΩ at 25°C), this enables 2 A operation at up to +125°C junction temperature with proper layout.
Can the LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB be used in automotive applications?
The LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB is specified for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements per TI's product folder documentation. However, it is not officially qualified as AEC-Q100 Grade 2 or Grade 1. For production automotive use, consult TI's Automotive Qualified Products list and validate against ISO 16750-2 electrical transients and thermal cycling requirements before deployment.
