Product details
Overview
LM2852YMXA-2.5 from Texas Instruments is a 2A synchronous buck regulator with fixed 2.5V output, 500kHz switching frequency, 2.85–5.5V input range, internal 60mΩ MOSFETs, and voltage-mode control in HTSSOP-14 package. It delivers stable point-of-load power for FPGA core rails and portable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852YMXA-2.5 datasheet, LM2852YMXA-2.5 pinout, LM2852YMXA-2.5 application, or LM2852YMXA-2.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage accuracy (±2.23% over temperature), soft-start capacitor compatibility (2.7nF typical), thermal performance (θJA = 38°C/W), and HTSSOP-14 layout requirements for high-current SW/PGND paths.
Technical Context
The LM2852YMXA-2.5 implements voltage-mode PWM control with integrated type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its 500kHz fixed-frequency oscillator enables predictable EMI filtering and supports ceramic output capacitors down to 68µF with ≤275mΩ ESR.
It features dual internal MOSFETs (75mΩ PFET / 55mΩ NFET), programmable soft-start via SS pin (400kΩ internal resistor), and UVLO with 85mV hysteresis. The device operates across −40°C to +125°C junction temperature with thermal shutdown at 165°C and 10°C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2.23% (−40°C to +125°C), factory-trimmed for precision without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Load Current | 2A continuous output with internal current limit threshold of 3A (typical), supporting full-load operation without derating. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85V to 5.5V on AVIN; PVIN supports same range but must be ≤ AVIN - enables split-rail operation for optimized efficiency. |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz (±25%) with ±100kHz variation over temperature - ensures consistent filter design and predictable ripple current. |
| Quiescent Current | 2mA (typ) during regulation; 10µA (max) in shutdown - minimizes standby power loss in battery-powered systems. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 38°C/W with exposed pad soldered to PCB ground plane - requires thermal pad connection for full 2A capability. |
| Protection Features | UVLO (2.47V rising / 2.385V falling), thermal shutdown (165°C), and switch-node overvoltage protection - prevents damage under fault conditions. |
Pinout & Package
LM2852YMXA-2.5 is housed in a 14-pin HTSSOP package (PWP0014A) with exposed thermal pad. The package provides low thermal resistance (38°C/W) and supports high-current routing via dual PVIN, SW, and PGND pins.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to internal logic; must be ≥2.85V and ≥ PVIN - enables independent control rail for noise isolation. |
| EN (2) | Enable input | Internally pulled up; tie to GND to disable - allows system-level power sequencing without external pull-up. |
| SGND (3) | Signal ground reference | Separate from PGND; connects to error amp and sensing circuitry - requires star-ground connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| SS (4) | Soft-start control | Connects to 2.7nF capacitor; sets startup time (~3ms) by charging internal 400kΩ resistor - prevents inrush current and output overshoot. |
| NC (5, 12, 13) | No-connect | Must be left floating or tied to GND - no internal connection; avoids unintended parasitic coupling. |
| PVIN (6, 7) | Main power input | Dual pins reduce trace resistance for high di/dt currents - requires low-inductance path to input capacitor (e.g., 22µF ceramic). |
| SNS (14) | Output voltage sense | Remote sensing input; connect directly to load - compensates for IR drop in output traces to maintain ±2.23% regulation at load. |
| SW (8, 9) | Power switch node | Dual pins drive external inductor; carries full switching current - demands short, wide copper traces to minimize EMI and conduction loss. |
| PGND (10, 11) | Power ground return | Dual pins handle high pulsed currents from internal FETs - must connect to solid internal ground plane, separate from SGND. |
| Exposed Pad | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane - primary thermal path; failure to connect degrades θJA and limits output current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Type-Three Compensation | Eliminates external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity while ensuring stability with recommended L/C ranges. |
| Factory-Set Output Voltage | 2.5V trimmed at wafer level - removes need for external feedback resistors and associated tolerance stack-up errors. |
| Internal 60mΩ Power MOSFETs | Combined RDS(on) enables >90% efficiency at 2A/3.3VIN→2.5VOUT - avoids discrete FET gate-drive complexity and layout overhead. |
| Split-Rail Input Support | Independent AVIN and PVIN supplies - allows low-noise logic rail (e.g., 3.3V) while powering switches from higher-efficiency input (e.g., 5V). |
| Low Standby Current | 10µA max shutdown current - extends battery life in always-on subsystems such as real-time clocks or sensor interfaces. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2852XMXA-2.5 | 1.5MHz switching frequency, higher quiescent current (0.85mA typ), tighter output tolerance (±1.5%), smaller inductor requirement (1µH vs 6.8µH). | Preferred for space-constrained designs needing smaller magnetics and faster transient response; less suitable for EMI-sensitive audio/RF sections. | Select LM2852XMXA-2.5 when board area is limited and 1.5MHz operation is acceptable; verify EMI compliance with target standards. |
| TPS62231DRVR | 3MHz switching frequency, 0.6V–5.5V adjustable output, 2.05A max, 17µA IQ, WSON-6 package (2mm × 2mm). | Supports adjustable output and higher switching frequency; lacks remote sense (SNS) and split-rail inputs, limiting precision in noisy environments. | Choose TPS62231DRVR for compact, cost-sensitive designs where fixed 2.5V is set via external resistors and remote sensing is unnecessary. |
Compared with LM2852XMXA-2.5 and TPS62231DRVR, the LM2852YMXA-2.5 offers superior thermal performance (38°C/W vs ≥60°C/W), integrated remote sensing, and split-rail flexibility - making it optimal for thermally demanding, precision-regulated applications where layout area is secondary to stability and accuracy.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage tolerance for LM2852YMXA-2.5 over temperature?
The LM2852YMXA-2.5 guarantees output voltage within ±2.23% of 2.5V across the full operating junction temperature range of −40°C to +125°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VOUT = 2.5V option. This tolerance reflects factory trimming and does not require external feedback components.
Can LM2852YMXA-2.5 operate with separate AVIN and PVIN supplies?
Yes, the LM2852YMXA-2.5 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 be ≤ AVIN. This configuration isolates noise-sensitive logic from high-current switching paths, improving regulation accuracy in mixed-signal systems.
What soft-start capacitor value is recommended for LM2852YMXA-2.5?
A 2.7nF ceramic capacitor is the recommended soft-start capacitor (CSS) for LM2852YMXA-2.5, yielding approximately a 3ms startup time. The device's internal 400kΩ SS resistor forms an RC network with CSS; values between 1nF and 50nF are supported per datasheet specifications.
Does LM2852YMXA-2.5 require external compensation components?
No, the LM2852YMXA-2.5 integrates a complete type-three compensation network on-die. This eliminates external compensation components and simplifies design, provided output filter inductors (6.8–10µH) and capacitors (68–120µF, ≤275mΩ ESR) fall within the ranges specified in Table 1 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum continuous output current rating for LM2852YMXA-2.5?
The LM2852YMXA-2.5 is rated for 2A continuous output current under proper thermal conditions: PCB with fully soldered exposed pad, adequate copper area, and ambient temperature ≤85°C. Derating is required above 85°C ambient or with insufficient thermal management.
