Product details
Overview
LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 2A synchronous buck DC-DC regulator with fixed 1.8 V output, 1.5 MHz switching frequency, input voltage range of 2.85 V to 5.5 V, internal 60 mΩ power MOSFETs, and voltage-mode control architecture-designed for FPGA core rail regulation in space-constrained portable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB datasheet, LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB pinout, LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB application, or LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5 MHz operation enabling compact LC filtering, factory-programmed 1.8 V output with ±2.025% tolerance at 25°C, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and HTSSOP-14 exposed-pad package for enhanced power dissipation.
Technical Context
The LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB implements voltage-mode PWM control with integrated type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its dual-rail architecture separates AVIN (logic bias) from PVIN (power FET supply), allowing independent optimization of control and power paths while enforcing PVIN ≤ AVIN.
Switch node protection logic disables switching under no-load or light-load conditions until output loading triggers normal regulation-preventing unintended shoot-through while maintaining stable 1.8 V output across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±2.025% (TJ = 25°C); ensures precise core voltage for low-voltage ASIC/FPGA logic |
| Max Output Current | 2 A continuous; supports high-current digital loads without external current-sense resistors |
| Switching Frequency | 1.5 MHz (±25% over temp); enables use of sub-2.2 µH inductors and ceramic output capacitors |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85 V to 5.5 V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V system rails |
| Quiescent Current | 0.85 mA (non-switching, TJ = 25°C); minimizes standby power in always-on subsystems |
| Shutdown Current | 10 µA (EN = 0 V, TJ = 25°C); enables ultra-low-power system-level sleep modes |
| Thermal Shutdown | 165°C with 10°C hysteresis; protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design |
Pinout & Package
LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB uses a 14-pin HTSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal heat transfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (Pin 1) | Chip bias supply | Powers internal logic; must be ≥ PVIN and within 2.85–5.5 V range |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; tie to GND to disable; floating or AVIN-connected enables operation |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Provides low-noise return for error amplifier and feedback network |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start timing | Connects to 1–50 nF capacitor to control output ramp rate and prevent inrush current |
| NC (Pins 5, 12, 13) | No connect | Must be left floating or tied to GND; no internal connection |
| PVIN (Pins 6, 7) | Main power input | Supplies internal PFET/NFET switches; connects directly to input bulk capacitor |
| SNS (Pin 14) | Output voltage sense | High-impedance feedback node; route directly to load for accurate remote sensing |
| PGND (Pins 10, 11) | Power ground return | Carries high-frequency switch currents; connect to dedicated ground plane under exposed pad |
| SW (Pins 8, 9) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; requires short, wide trace to minimize EMI and conduction loss |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 60 mΩ PFET/NFET | Eliminates external power switches and reduces BOM count while delivering >90% efficiency at 1 A load |
| Internal type-three compensation | Removes need for external compensation network-simplifies layout and improves stability across recommended LC ranges |
| Split-rail AVIN/PVIN operation | Enables independent optimization of logic supply (e.g., 3.3 V) and power rail (e.g., 5 V), reducing noise coupling into control circuitry |
| Switch node protection logic | Prevents abnormal switching during startup or no-load conditions, avoiding false triggering of current limit or shoot-through |
| Exposed thermal pad (HTSSOP-14) | Reduces RθJA to 39.2°C/W, supporting 2 A operation in ambient temperatures up to 85°C with minimal copper area |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2852YMXA-1.8/NOPB | 500 kHz switching frequency; requires larger 10–15 µH inductor and higher-CESR output capacitors | Better suited for cost-sensitive designs where EMI filtering is less critical and board space is less constrained | Select when lower switching losses and reduced EMI priority outweigh size constraints |
| TPS62231DRVR | 3 MHz operation; 1.8 V fixed output; 0.65 A max current; smaller 6-pin WSON package | Limited to sub-1 A loads; not suitable for 2 A FPGA core applications requiring LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB's full current capability | Choose only for low-power microcontroller or sensor rails-not as direct replacement for 2 A loads |
Compared with LM2852YMXA-1.8/NOPB, LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB trades slightly higher switching losses for significantly smaller passive components; versus TPS62231DRVR, it delivers triple the output current in a thermally optimized HTSSOP package-making it the only viable alternative for 2 A, 1.8 V point-of-load applications demanding industrial temperature range and robust fault protection.

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB?
The LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB operates at a nominal switching frequency of 1.5 MHz, with typical variation between 1050 kHz and 1825 kHz across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature. This high-frequency operation allows use of small-value inductors (e.g., 1 µH) and low-ESR ceramic output capacitors, reducing overall solution footprint compared to 500 kHz alternatives like the LM2852YMXA-1.8/NOPB.
Does the LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB integrates a complete type-three compensation network internally. This eliminates the need for external resistors and capacitors in the feedback loop, simplifying design, improving stability across recommended LC values, and reducing bill-of-materials count-provided the selected inductor (1–22 µH) and output capacitor (10–220 µF) fall within TI's validated ranges per the datasheet.
What is the maximum output current capability of the LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB?
The LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB delivers up to 2 A of continuous output current under recommended operating conditions (PVIN = 3.3 V to 5.5 V, TJ ≤ 125°C, proper PCB thermal design). Its internal 60 mΩ PFET and NFET switches, combined with the HTSSOP-14 exposed-pad package, enable this current level without external MOSFETs or current-sense resistors-making it suitable for FPGA core and high-performance ASIC power rails.
How does the split-rail AVIN/PVIN architecture benefit the LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB?
The LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB's split-rail design separates AVIN (logic bias supply) from PVIN (power FET supply), allowing independent optimization: AVIN can be a clean 3.3 V rail for noise-sensitive control circuitry, while PVIN may be a higher-current 5 V source for the power stage. This isolation reduces coupling of switching noise into the error amplifier and reference, improving regulation accuracy and transient response-especially critical for 1.8 V core supplies.
Can the LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB be used with ceramic output capacitors?
Yes, the LM2852XMXAX-1.8/NOPB is specifically optimized for ceramic output capacitors in its 1.5 MHz configuration. The datasheet recommends 10 µF ceramic capacitors (e.g., Murata GRM32DR61E106K) for 1.8 V output, leveraging their low ESR (<10 mΩ) to maintain loop stability and achieve >90% efficiency. Unlike the 500 kHz LM2852Y variant, the LM2852X does not require high-ESR tantalum or niobium oxide capacitors.
