Product details
Overview
LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 2A synchronous buck regulator with fixed 3.0V output, 1.5MHz switching frequency, internal 60mΩ PMOS/NMOS switches, voltage-mode control, and factory-programmed EEPROM output setting. It operates from 2.85V–5.5V input and delivers stable point-of-load power to FPGA core rails in portable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB datasheet, LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB pinout, LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB application, or LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB 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 2A continuous load capability.
Technical Context
The LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB implements voltage-mode PWM control with an internal oscillator fixed at 1.5MHz (±25% over temperature), supporting duty cycles from 0% to 100%. Its integrated type-three compensation network eliminates external compensation components while maintaining stability across recommended L/C/ESR ranges.
It features dual internal MOSFETs (75mΩ PMOS / 55mΩ NMOS typical at 25°C), soft-start controlled via external capacitor on SS pin (1–50nF range), and UVLO with 2.85V turn-on threshold and 85mV hysteresis. Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis.

Pinout & Package
LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB uses a 14-pin HTSSOP package (PWP0014A) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced thermal performance and EMI reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to internal logic; must be ≥ PVIN; connect to input rail or dedicated low-noise bias source |
| EN (2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; tie to GND to disable; 75% AVIN threshold for enable, 25% for disable |
| SGND (3) | Signal ground reference | Separate from PGND; connects to analog ground plane to minimize noise coupling into feedback path |
| SS (4) | Soft-start timing node | Connects to external capacitor (e.g., 2.7nF) 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; improves thermal conduction when grounded |
| PVIN (6,7) | Main power input | Supplies internal power FETs; requires low-ESR bulk capacitor placed adjacent to pins to handle high di/dt |
| SNS (14) | Output voltage sense | High-impedance feedback node; connect directly to load VOUT point to compensate for IR drop in PCB traces |
| SW (8,9) | Power switch node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short, wide trace and minimal loop area to reduce EMI |
| PGND (10,11) | Power ground return | High-current return path for internal FETs; connect to solid internal ground plane under exposed pad |

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB over temperature?
The LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB delivers a factory-programmed 3.0V output with guaranteed tolerance of ±1.35% (2.9325V to 3.0675V) across the full operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VOUT = 3.0V option. This tolerance includes initial accuracy, line regulation, and load regulation effects.
Does the LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB integrates a complete type-three compensation network on-die. This eliminates the need for external compensation resistors or capacitors, simplifying design and improving reliability. Stability is ensured when using inductors and capacitors within the recommended ranges specified in Table 1 of the datasheet for the 1.5MHz (X) version.
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB?
The absolute maximum rating for PVIN and AVIN pins of the LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB is 6.5V, but the recommended operating input voltage range is 2.85V to 5.5V. Exceeding 5.5V may cause permanent damage or degraded reliability. AVIN must always be ≥ PVIN, and both rails must remain within this range for guaranteed operation.
How does the soft-start function work on the LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB?
The LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB implements soft-start via an internal 400kΩ resistor charging an external capacitor connected to the SS pin. A 2.7nF capacitor yields ~3ms startup time. The soft-start voltage controls the DAC reference, forcing output voltage to ramp linearly. During fault conditions like short circuits, the soft-start capacitor is actively discharged to enable graceful restart.
Can the LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB operate with separate AVIN and PVIN supplies?
Yes, the LM2852XMXAX-3.0/NOPB supports split-rail operation: AVIN powers the control logic (2.85V–5.5V), while PVIN supplies the power FETs (1.5V–5.5V). PVIN must never exceed AVIN. This configuration allows optimization of efficiency and noise isolation-for example, using a clean 3.3V AVIN and higher-current 5V PVIN in mixed-signal systems.
