Product details
Overview
LM2852XMXA-3.3 from Texas Instruments is a 2A synchronous buck regulator with fixed 3.3V output, 1.5MHz switching frequency, internal 60mΩ MOSFETs, voltage-mode control, and factory-programmed EEPROM output setting. It operates from 2.85V to 5.5V input and delivers stable power for FPGA core rails, portable computing point-of-load, and broadband infrastructure DC-DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852XMXA-3.3 datasheet, LM2852XMXA-3.3 pinout, LM2852XMXA-3.3 application, or LM2852XMXA-3.3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5MHz high-frequency operation enabling compact filter design, integrated type-three compensation eliminating external compensation components, and HTSSOP-14 exposed-pad thermal performance for sustained 2A load delivery.
Technical Context
The LM2852XMXA-3.3 implements voltage-mode PWM control with an internal oscillator fixed at 1500kHz and integrated type-three compensation network. Its architecture integrates dual MOSFET power switches (75mΩ PFET / 55mΩ NFET) and a precision DAC-based reference set to 3.3V ±1.2% over −40°C to +125°C junction temperature.
It features soft-start via external capacitor (1–50nF range), UVLO with 2.85V turn-on threshold and 85mV hysteresis, and thermal shutdown at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis. The device supports split-rail operation with independent AVIN (logic bias) and PVIN (power switch supply) inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.2% (factory EEPROM-set; no external feedback required) |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous; peak current limit 2.75–4.95A ensures robust overload handling |
| Switching Frequency | 1500kHz ±22%; enables use of small ceramic output capacitors (e.g., 10µF) and low-inductance inductors (e.g., 1µH) |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85V to 5.5V on AVIN; PVIN supports same range but must be ≤ AVIN for split-rail use |
| Quiescent Current | 0.85–2mA during regulation; 10–25µA in shutdown (EN = 0V) |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 38°C/W; exposed-pad HTSSOP-14 package enables >1.5W dissipation at 2A load |
| Protection Features | UVLO, thermal shutdown (165°C, 10°C hysteresis), and switch-node overvoltage protection |
Pinout & Package
LM2852XMXA-3.3 is housed in a 14-pin HTSSOP package (PWP0014A) with exposed thermal pad. The package provides low thermal resistance (38°C/W) and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC Level-1 standards (260°C peak).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to internal logic; connect to input rail or dedicated low-noise 3.3–5.5V source |
| EN (2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; tie to GND to disable; floating or AVIN-connected enables operation |
| SGND (3) | Signal ground reference | Reference for error amplifier and internal circuitry; separate from PGND for noise isolation |
| SS (4) | Soft-start timing node | Connect 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; high-current path requiring low-impedance PCB trace and local 47µF ceramic CIN |
| SNS (14) | Output voltage sense | Connect directly to load VOUT point to compensate for IR drop; enables accurate remote sensing |
| SW (8,9) | Power switch node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short, wide trace and EMI-aware layout |
| PGND (10,11) | Power ground return | High-current return path for PFET/NFET; connect to solid internal ground plane under exposed pad |
| Exposed Pad | Thermal & electrical ground | Mandatory connection to system GND for thermal performance and EMI reduction |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM2852XMXA-3.3 over temperature?
The LM2852XMXA-3.3 has a factory-programmed 3.3V output with guaranteed tolerance of ±1.2% across the full operating junction temperature range of −40°C to +125°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "VOUT = 3.3V option" with Min/Max limits of 3.2257V and 3.3743V. This accuracy is maintained without external feedback components due to internal EEPROM calibration and precision DAC reference.
Does the LM2852XMXA-3.3 require external compensation components?
No, the LM2852XMXA-3.3 integrates a complete type-three compensation network on-die. This eliminates the need for external resistors or capacitors in the feedback loop, reducing BOM count and layout complexity while ensuring stable operation with recommended output filter components (e.g., 1µH inductor and 10µF ceramic capacitor for 1.5MHz operation). The LM2852XMXA-3.3 datasheet confirms this in the COMPENSATION section.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the LM2852XMXA-3.3?
The absolute maximum rating for PVIN and AVIN pins of the LM2852XMXA-3.3 is 6.5V, but the recommended operating input voltage range is 2.85V to 5.5V. Operation above 5.5V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and may cause premature failure. The device's UVLO threshold is 2.85V (rising), and AVIN must always be ≥ PVIN when using split-rail configuration.
Can the LM2852XMXA-3.3 be used with a 3.3V input to generate a 3.3V output?
Yes, the LM2852XMXA-3.3 supports unity-gain operation with 3.3V input and 3.3V output, though efficiency drops significantly near 100% duty cycle. In practice, the device enters 100% duty-cycle mode only under light loads; heavier loads trigger switching action. Figure 3 in the datasheet shows >84% efficiency at 2A with PVIN = 3.3V and VOUT = 3.3V, confirming viable operation for low-dropout scenarios where input regulation is tight.
What is the purpose of the SNS pin on the LM2852XMXA-3.3?
The SNS (sense) pin on the LM2852XMXA-3.3 provides remote output voltage feedback by connecting directly to the load side of the output filter. This compensates for IR drop across PCB traces and output capacitor ESR, ensuring the regulated voltage at the load remains within ±1.2% of 3.3V. The LM2852XMXA-3.3 uses this signal in its internal error amplifier to maintain accuracy independent of board layout parasitics.
