Product details
Overview
LM2852YMXA-1.8 from Texas Instruments is a 2 A synchronous buck regulator with factory-programmed 1.8 V output, 500 kHz switching frequency, input voltage range of 2.85 V to 5.5 V, and integrated 60 mΩ high-side/low-side MOSFETs. It delivers precise point-of-load regulation for FPGA core supplies in portable computing and networking infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852YMXA-1.8 datasheet, LM2852YMXA-1.8 pinout, LM2852YMXA-1.8 application, or LM2852YMXA-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 1.8 V ±2.25% output tolerance at full load, thermal performance in HTSSOP-14 (RθJA = 39.2°C/W), soft-start programmability via external capacitor, and compatibility with ceramic or tantalum output capacitors per TI's validated BOM.
Technical Context
The LM2852YMXA-1.8 implements voltage-mode control with internal Type-III compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its split-rail architecture separates AVIN (logic bias) from PVIN (power FET supply), enabling optimized efficiency across input ranges while maintaining strict output regulation under line and load transients.
Switch node protection logic disables PWM during light-load conditions to prevent erratic operation, and UVLO triggers at 2.85 V (rising) with 85–210 mV hysteresis. The device integrates current-limit sensing, thermal shutdown at 165°C (10°C hysteresis), and low 10 µA shutdown quiescent current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8 V ±2.25% (0.782–0.818 V tolerance band applies only to 0.8 V option; for 1.8 V: 1.7595–1.8405 V) |
| Max Output Current | 2 A continuous - supports FPGA/DSP core rails without external current boosting |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz (±275 kHz over temperature) - enables compact 10–15 µH inductors and 100–120 µF output capacitance |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3 V, and 5 V system rails |
| Efficiency @ 1.8 V/2 A | 92% typical at PVIN = 3.3 V, 90% at PVIN = 5.0 V - validated per Figure 2 and Table 1 in SNVS325E |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 39.2°C/W (HTSSOP-14) - requires minimal copper area for 2 A operation at 125°C ambient |
| Shutdown Current | 10 µA at TJ = 25°C - enables battery-backed standby modes in portable systems |
Pinout & Package
LM2852YMXA-1.8 is housed in a thermally enhanced 14-pin HTSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed pad for improved heat dissipation. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS325E Rev E, Figure 5 (Top View).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (Pin 1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to internal logic; must be ≥2.85 V and ≥PVIN; decoupling required near pin |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; tie to GND to disable; threshold is 25% AVIN (low) / 75% AVIN (high) |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Reference for error amplifier and feedback network; separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start timing | Connects to external capacitor (1–50 nF); sets startup ramp time; 2.7 nF yields ~3 ms rise to 1.8 V |
| PVIN (Pins 6,7) | Main power input | Supplies internal PFET/NFET switches; must be ≤AVIN; high-current path requiring low-inductance layout |
| SNS (Pin 14) | Output voltage sense | High-impedance feedback node; connect directly to load for accurate regulation; avoid switch-node proximity |
| SW (Pins 8,9) | Power switch node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short, wide trace and minimized loop area |
| PGND (Pins 10,11) | Power ground return | Low-impedance return for switch currents; connect exposed pad and all PGND pins to solid ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed output | 1.8 V fixed (no external resistor divider needed), reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity |
| Integrated power FETs | 60 mΩ (typ) high-side + 55 mΩ (typ) low-side MOSFETs - eliminates external switch losses and gate-drive complexity |
| Type-III internal compensation | Enables stable operation with standard 100–220 µF output capacitors without external compensation network |
| Split-rail operation | Independent AVIN/PVIN supplies allow optimization of logic bias and power-stage efficiency separately |
| Switch node protection | Prevents erratic startup or oscillation under no-load/light-load conditions by disabling PWM until load is applied |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRYT | 1.8 V fixed, 3 MHz switching, 0.6 A max output, smaller 6-pin WSON package | Lower current capability; suited for microcontroller I/O rails, not FPGA cores | Select when board space is critical and load < 0.6 A; not drop-in for 2 A designs |
| LM2678SD-1.8/NOPB | 1.8 V fixed, 100 kHz, 5 A output, external MOSFETs, larger SO-8 package | Higher current, lower frequency, higher BOM count, less efficient at light loads | Select for high-reliability industrial use where thermal margin >50°C is required at 5 A |
Compared with TPS62231DRYT and LM2678SD-1.8/NOPB, LM2852YMXA-1.8 uniquely balances 2 A capability, 500 kHz efficiency, and integrated FETs in HTSSOP-14 - making it optimal for space-constrained, medium-power digital loads where thermal management and component count are co-priorities.

FAQ
What is the output voltage accuracy of LM2852YMXA-1.8 over temperature and load?
The LM2852YMXA-1.8 guarantees 1.8 V output within ±2.25% (1.7595 V to 1.8405 V) across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and full 0–2 A load range, as specified in Section 6.5 of SNVS325E. This tolerance includes line, load, and temperature effects - no external trimming is required.
Can LM2852YMXA-1.8 operate with PVIN lower than AVIN, and what are the constraints?
Yes - LM2852YMXA-1.8 supports split-rail operation where PVIN may be lower than AVIN, but PVIN must never exceed AVIN. Per Section 7.3.1, PVIN must be ≥2.85 V and ≤AVIN; for PVIN < 3.3 V, TI recommends using output filter values validated for 3.3 V input per Table 1.
What soft-start capacitor value is recommended for LM2852YMXA-1.8, and why?
A 2.7 nF ceramic capacitor (e.g., Vishay VJ0805Y272KXXA) is recommended for LM2852YMXA-1.8, yielding ~3 ms startup time. This value falls within the validated 1–50 nF range (Section 8.2.2.3) and prevents current-limit startup by controlling DAC reference ramp rate, as confirmed in TI's BOM Table 4.
Does LM2852YMXA-1.8 require external compensation components?
No - LM2852YMXA-1.8 integrates a complete Type-III compensation network. As stated in Section 7.1 and validated in Section 8.2.2.4, stability is ensured with TI-recommended output capacitor (100–120 µF) and inductor (10–15 µH) values; no external op-amp or RC network is needed.
How does the switch node protection feature affect LM2852YMXA-1.8 behavior during no-load startup?
During no-load or light-load startup, LM2852YMXA-1.8's switch node protection disables PWM to prevent unstable operation. The output reaches 1.8 V, but switching only resumes once load current exceeds ~100 mA - a documented behavior in Section 7.3.2, not a fault condition.
