Product details
Overview
LM2852YMXA-1.5 from Texas Instruments is a 2A synchronous buck regulator in HTSSOP-14 package, operating at 500kHz switching frequency with factory-set 1.5V output, 2.85–5.5V input range, and internal 60mΩ MOSFETs. It delivers high efficiency for FPGA/DSP core power in portable computing and broadband infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852YMXA-1.5 datasheet, LM2852YMXA-1.5 pinout, LM2852YMXA-1.5 application, or LM2852YMXA-1.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 500kHz fixed-frequency voltage-mode control, integrated type-three compensation, 10µA shutdown current, and thermal shutdown at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis.
Technical Context
The LM2852YMXA-1.5 implements voltage-mode PWM control with internal type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its 500kHz oscillator operates across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature, with soft-start controlled by an internal 400kΩ resistor charging an external capacitor (e.g., 2.7nF for ~3ms ramp).
It integrates complementary PFET/NFET power switches (75/55mΩ typical RDS(on)), UVLO with 85–210mV hysteresis on AVIN, and a dedicated SNS pin for remote output voltage sensing. The exposed-pad HTSSOP-14 package provides θJA = 38°C/W thermal resistance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Factory-programmed 1.5V ±1.7% (1.466V–1.534V) at TJ = −40°C to +125°C |
| Switching Frequency | Fixed 500kHz (±37.5kHz) - enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI profile |
| Max Load Current | 2A continuous - supports FPGA core rails and ASIC point-of-load applications |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85V to 5.5V on AVIN; PVIN supports same range - compatible with 3.3V and 5V system rails |
| Quiescent Current | 0.85–2mA non-switching; 10–25µA in shutdown - extends battery life in portable systems |
| Thermal Shutdown | Activates at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during overload or poor heatsinking |
| Peak Current Limit | 2.25–3.65A - protects internal FETs during startup or short-circuit events |
Pinout & Package
LM2852YMXA-1.5 uses a 14-pin HTSSOP package (PWP0014A) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground for enhanced thermal performance (θJA = 38°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to control logic; must be ≥2.85V; can be tied to PVIN or separate rail |
| EN (2) | Enable input | Internally pulled up; connect to GND to disable; floating or AVIN enables operation |
| SGND (3) | Signal ground reference | Reference for error amplifier and internal circuits; separate from PGND for noise isolation |
| SS (4) | Soft-start control | Connects to external capacitor (1–50nF); sets output ramp time via internal 400kΩ resistor |
| 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-inductance layout |
| SW (8,9) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short, wide trace routing |
| PGND (10,11) | Power ground return | Return path for high-current switch and inductor; connect to large copper plane |
| SNS (14) | Output voltage sense | Remote feedback input; connect directly to load for accurate regulation under load transients |
| Exposed Pad | Thermal & electrical ground | Mandatory connection to PCB ground plane for thermal dissipation and signal integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Type-Three Compensation | Eliminates external compensation network - reduces BOM count and design cycle time |
| Internal 60mΩ Power FETs | Enables high-efficiency conversion without external MOSFET drivers or discrete switches |
| 500kHz Fixed Switching Frequency | Optimizes size vs. efficiency trade-off for mid-power applications using standard 10–15µH inductors |
| Low 10µA Shutdown Current | Minimizes system standby power - critical for always-on portable and IoT devices |
| Exposed-Pad HTSSOP-14 Package | Delivers 38°C/W thermal resistance - supports 2A continuous load without forced air or heatsink |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM2852YMXA-1.5 over temperature and load?
The LM2852YMXA-1.5 has a guaranteed output voltage tolerance of ±1.7% (1.466V to 1.534V) across the full operating junction temperature range of −40°C to +125°C and load currents from 0A to 2A. This specification is ensured by factory trimming and applies under closed-loop conditions measured at the SNS pin.
Does the LM2852YMXA-1.5 require external compensation components?
No, the LM2852YMXA-1.5 features fully integrated type-three compensation, eliminating the need for external resistors or capacitors in the feedback loop. This simplifies design, reduces BOM count, and ensures stability when used with recommended output filter components (e.g., 10–15µH inductor and 100µF capacitor).
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the LM2852YMXA-1.5?
The absolute maximum rating for AVIN and PVIN pins is 6.5V, but the functional operating range is limited to 2.85V to 5.5V per the datasheet. Operating above 5.5V risks exceeding safe operating area limits and may cause premature device failure, even if within absolute max ratings.
How does the soft-start function work on the LM2852YMXA-1.5?
The LM2852YMXA-1.5 uses an internal 400kΩ resistor to charge an external capacitor connected to the SS pin. With a typical 2.7nF capacitor, the output ramps to 1.5V in approximately 3ms. The soft-start circuit also engages during fault recovery (e.g., after short-circuit removal) to prevent inrush current.
Can the LM2852YMXA-1.5 operate with split-rail inputs (separate AVIN and PVIN)?
Yes, the LM2852YMXA-1.5 supports split-rail operation: AVIN powers the control logic (2.85–5.5V), while PVIN supplies the power FETs (1.5–5.5V). PVIN must not exceed AVIN, and output filter component selection must be based on the PVIN value used in the design.
