Product details
Overview
LM2852XMXA-3.0 from Texas Instruments is a 2A synchronous buck regulator with fixed 3.0V output, 1.5MHz switching frequency, 2.85V–5.5V input range, internal 60mΩ MOSFETs, and voltage-mode control in HTSSOP-14 package. It delivers stable point-of-load power for FPGA core rails and portable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852XMXA-3.0 datasheet, LM2852XMXA-3.0 pinout, LM2852XMXA-3.0 application, or LM2852XMXA-3.0 equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-programmed 3.0V output tolerance (±2.25%), thermal shutdown at 165°C, soft-start capacitor interface (1–50nF), and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors down to 10µF for high-frequency operation.
Technical Context
The LM2852XMXA-3.0 implements voltage-mode PWM control with integrated type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its 1.5MHz oscillator enables compact filter design using low-inductance (1–10µH) and low-ESR ceramic output capacitors.
It features dual internal MOSFETs (75mΩ PFET / 55mΩ NFET), programmable soft-start via external capacitor on SS pin, and independent AVIN (logic bias) and PVIN (power FET supply) inputs for split-rail operation-supporting optimized efficiency across 3.3V and 5V input domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.0V ±2.25% (ensured over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature) |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous load capability with thermal shutdown protection at 165°C |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5MHz nominal (1050–1825kHz range), enabling small LC filter size |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85V to 5.5V on AVIN; PVIN supports same or lower voltage for split-rail flexibility |
| Quiescent Current | 2mA typical operating current; 10µA shutdown current for battery-sensitive designs |
| Internal MOSFET RDS(on) | 75mΩ (PFET) / 55mΩ (NFET) at ISW = 2A, minimizing conduction loss |
| Soft-Start Range | 1nF–50nF external capacitor on SS pin, enabling controlled startup and fault recovery |
Pinout & Package
LM2852XMXA-3.0 is housed in a thermally enhanced 14-pin HTSSOP package (PWP0014A) with exposed die attach pad soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal dissipation (θJA = 38°C/W).

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LM2852XMXA-3.0 across temperature?
The LM2852XMXA-3.0 guarantees ±2.25% output voltage tolerance over the full operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table for the 3.0V option (2.9325V to 3.0675V). This tolerance is factory-trimmed and does not require external feedback components.
Can LM2852XMXA-3.0 operate with different voltages on AVIN and PVIN pins?
Yes, LM2852XMXA-3.0 supports split-rail operation: AVIN powers the control logic (2.85–5.5V), while PVIN supplies the power FETs (1.5–5.5V). PVIN must be ≤ AVIN. This allows optimizing efficiency-for example, using 3.3V AVIN for logic and 5V PVIN for higher-power conversion.
What is the minimum soft-start capacitor value supported by LM2852XMXA-3.0?
The LM2852XMXA-3.0 specifies a minimum soft-start capacitor value of 1nF on the SS pin, as defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Applications Information sections. Values below 1nF may cause uncontrolled startup or current-limit activation during turn-on.
Does LM2852XMXA-3.0 require external compensation components?
No, LM2852XMXA-3.0 integrates a complete type-three compensation network internally. No external compensation components are required-stability is ensured when using inductors (1–10µH) and ceramic output capacitors (10–100µF) within the ranges specified in Table 1 of the datasheet.
What thermal protection features are implemented in LM2852XMXA-3.0?
LM2852XMXA-3.0 includes thermal shutdown activation at TJ = 165°C with 10°C hysteresis (TSD-HYS), ensuring safe operation under overload or poor heatsinking conditions. The exposed pad in the HTSSOP-14 package must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve the rated θJA of 38°C/W.
