Product details
Overview
LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 2A synchronous buck regulator with fixed 1.2V output, 1.5MHz switching frequency, input voltage range of 2.85V–5.5V, internal 60mΩ PFET/NFET switches, and voltage-mode control. It delivers high-efficiency point-of-load regulation for FPGA core supplies in portable computing and broadband infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB datasheet, LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB pinout, LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB application, or LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5MHz operation enabling compact filter design, factory-programmed 1.2V output with ±2.7% tolerance at 25°C, HTSSOP-14 thermal performance (RθJA = 39.2°C/W), and split-rail AVIN/PVIN capability for optimized logic and power domain separation.
Technical Context
The LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB implements voltage-mode PWM control with integrated type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its 1.5MHz oscillator provides stable switching across −40°C to 125°C junction temperature, with peak current limit set to 2.75–4.95A depending on temperature.
Split-rail architecture separates AVIN (2.85–5.5V logic bias) from PVIN (1.5–5.5V power FET supply), enabling independent optimization of control and power paths. Switch node protection prevents shoot-through during light-load conditions, and soft-start is controlled via an external capacitor (1–50nF) tied to the SS pin.

Pinout & Package
LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB uses the 14-pin HTSSOP package (5.00mm × 4.40mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (Pin 1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to internal logic; must be ≥ PVIN and within 2.85–5.5V |

| 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/low-side MOSFETs; connects to bulk input capacitor |
| SNS (Pin 14) | Output voltage sense | High-impedance feedback node; route directly to load for accurate regulation |
| PGND (Pins 10,11) | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for switch current; connect to thermal pad and main ground plane |
| SW (Pins 8,9) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, wide trace to minimize EMI |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2852YMXAX-1.2/NOPB | 500kHz switching frequency; higher inductance required (10–15µH); lower light-load efficiency | Better suited for cost-sensitive, lower-EMI applications where board space is less constrained | Select when EMI filtering priority outweighs size reduction; not pin-compatible due to different frequency calibration |

Compared with LM2852YMXAX-1.2/NOPB and TPS62231DRVR, the LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB uniquely balances 2A capacity, 1.5MHz operation, and HTSSOP thermal performance-making it optimal for space-limited industrial and telecom point-of-load designs where both current and frequency matter.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB over temperature?
The LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB has a factory-programmed 1.2V output with ±2.7% tolerance at TJ = 25°C and ±3.0% over the full −40°C to 125°C junction temperature range, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (Section 6.5). This tolerance includes initial accuracy, line regulation (0.6%), and load regulation (8mV/A).
Does the LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB integrates a complete type-three compensation network internally. This eliminates the need for external resistors or capacitors in the feedback loop, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity while ensuring stability with recommended output filter values (e.g., 1µH inductor + 10µF ceramic capacitor for 1.5MHz operation).
Can the LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB operate with different voltages on AVIN and PVIN pins?
Yes, the LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB supports true split-rail operation: AVIN (2.85–5.5V) powers the control logic, while PVIN (1.5–5.5V) supplies the power FETs. PVIN must always be ≤ AVIN. This allows optimizing noise isolation-for example, using a clean 3.3V AVIN rail and a noisier 5V PVIN rail-without compromising regulation accuracy.
What is the maximum achievable efficiency of the LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB at 2A load?
At 2A load and 3.3V input, the LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB achieves ≥88% efficiency (per Figure 6 in the datasheet). Peak efficiency reaches 94% at 1A/3.3V input. Efficiency remains >84% even at 10A-equivalent ripple conditions due to low RDS(ON) (75mΩ PFET / 55mΩ NFET at 25°C) and optimized 1.5MHz gate drive.
Is the LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM2852 variants?
No-LM2852XMXAX-1.2/NOPB (1.5MHz) and LM2852YMXAX-1.2/NOPB (500kHz) share identical pinout and package (HTSSOP-14), but differ in internal oscillator calibration and current limit thresholds. They are not functionally interchangeable without circuit redesign, particularly in soft-start timing and inductor selection.
