Product details
Overview
LM2852XMXAX-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 and portable computing point-of-load applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852XMXAX-3.3 datasheet, LM2852XMXAX-3.3 pinout, LM2852XMXAX-3.3 application, or LM2852XMXAX-3.3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.5MHz high-frequency operation enabling compact 1µH inductors, integrated type-three compensation eliminating external loop components, and HTSSOP-14 exposed-pad thermal design for 2A continuous load capability.
Technical Context
The LM2852XMXAX-3.3 implements voltage-mode PWM control with an internal oscillator set to 1500kHz (±25% over temperature), supporting ceramic output capacitors down to 10µF due to its optimized 1.5MHz architecture. Its internal type-three compensation network eliminates external compensation components while maintaining stability across recommended L–C–ESR ranges.
It integrates dual 60mΩ (typ) MOSFETs - a PFET high-side switch and NFET low-side switch - with current-limit threshold of 4A (typ), soft-start controlled by external capacitor on SS pin (1–50nF range), and UVLO with 85mV hysteresis referenced to AVIN. The device uses separate AVIN (logic bias) and PVIN (power FET supply) rails for flexible split-rail operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±2.2% (3.2257V to 3.3743V) at TJ = −40°C to +125°C; factory EEPROM-programmed, no external resistors required. |
| Switching Frequency | 1500kHz (typ); enables use of 1µH inductors and small ceramic output capacitors (e.g., 10µF), reducing solution footprint vs. 500kHz variants. |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous; supported by internal 75mΩ (PFET) / 55mΩ (NFET) MOSFETs with thermal shutdown at 165°C and 10°C hysteresis. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85V to 5.5V on AVIN; PVIN must be ≤ AVIN and ≥1.5V; supports single-rail (AVIN = PVIN) or split-rail configurations. |
| Quiescent Current | 2mA (typ) in active operation; 10µA (typ) in shutdown (EN = 0V); enables low-power standby modes in battery-powered systems. |
| Line/Load Regulation | 0.6% max line regulation (3.5V–5.5V AVIN); 8mV/A max load regulation; ensures tight output stability under dynamic load transients. |
Pinout & Package
LM2852XMXAX-3.3 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).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to internal logic; must be ≥2.85V; can be tied to PVIN or separate low-noise rail. |
| EN (2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; connect to GND to disable; logic-high threshold is 75% of AVIN voltage. |
| SGND (3) | Signal ground reference | Reference for error amplifier and internal circuits; must be connected to clean analog ground plane. |
| SS (4) | Soft-start timing | Connects to external capacitor (1–50nF); sets startup ramp time; internal 400kΩ resistor charges CSS. |
| NC (5,12,13) | No-connect | Not internally bonded; may be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practices. |
| PVIN (6,7) | Main power input | Supplies internal PFET source; handles high di/dt; requires low-ESR input capacitor placed adjacent to pins. |
| SW (8,9) | Power switch node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short, wide trace and minimal loop area for EMI control. |
| PGND (10,11) | Power ground return | Return path for high-current switching; must connect to large copper pour or internal ground plane. |
| SNS (14) | Output voltage sense | High-impedance feedback input; connect directly to load via Kelvin sense trace for accurate regulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What is the switching frequency of the LM2852XMXAX-3.3?
The LM2852XMXAX-3.3 operates at a nominal switching frequency of 1500kHz, with guaranteed range of 1050kHz to 1825kHz across temperature and input voltage. This high-frequency operation enables use of miniature 1µH inductors and low-ESR ceramic capacitors, significantly reducing solution size compared to 500kHz alternatives like the LM2852YMXAX-3.3.
Does the LM2852XMXAX-3.3 require external compensation components?
No, the LM2852XMXAX-3.3 integrates a complete type-three compensation network on-die, eliminating the need for external resistors or capacitors in the feedback loop. This simplifies design, improves reliability, and ensures stability when used with inductors and capacitors within the manufacturer-specified ranges (e.g., 1–10µH inductors and 10–100µF ceramic outputs for the 1.5MHz version).
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for the LM2852XMXAX-3.3?
The LM2852XMXAX-3.3 is rated for 2A continuous output current under standard thermal conditions (θJA = 38°C/W, TA = 25°C). Its internal 75mΩ (PFET) and 55mΩ (NFET) MOSFETs, combined with the exposed-pad HTSSOP package, enable this current level without external heatsinking in properly laid-out PCBs with adequate copper area.
Can the LM2852XMXAX-3.3 operate with separate AVIN and PVIN supplies?
Yes, the LM2852XMXAX-3.3 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 not exceed AVIN. This allows optimizing noise isolation-e.g., using a clean LDO for AVIN and a bulk-switcher rail for PVIN-without compromising regulation accuracy or efficiency.
Is the 3.3V output of the LM2852XMXAX-3.3 factory-programmed or resistor-set?
The 3.3V output of the LM2852XMXAX-3.3 is factory-programmed into internal EEPROM and cannot be adjusted externally. This eliminates the need for precision feedback resistors, removes resistor tolerance errors, prevents drift over temperature/time, and guarantees ±2.2% output accuracy across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
