Product details
Overview
LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 2 A synchronous buck regulator with fixed 2.5 V output, 500 kHz switching frequency, input voltage range of 2.85 V to 5.5 V, internal 60 mΩ PFET/NFET switches, and voltage-mode control. It delivers point-of-load power to FPGA core rails in portable computing systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB application, or LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include output accuracy (±2.23% at 2.5 V), thermal performance (RθJA = 39.2 °C/W), soft-start programmability (1–50 nF), and HTSSOP-14 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB implements voltage-mode PWM control with integrated type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its split-rail architecture separates AVIN (logic bias) from PVIN (power FET supply), enabling optimized efficiency across input ranges.
Switch node protection monitors SW voltage to prevent shoot-through during light-load conditions, while internal UVLO (2.85 V rising threshold) and thermal shutdown (165 °C) ensure robust operation. The device supports factory-programmed 2.5 V output without external feedback resistors.
Key Specifications

| Max Output Current | 2 A continuous load capability with internal current limiting (2.25–3.65 A typical) |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz ±37.5% (325–625 kHz), enabling compact magnetics and EMI filtering |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85 V to 5.5 V on AVIN; PVIN ≤ AVIN, supporting single-supply or split-rail configurations |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% at 2.5 V/1 A with 3.3 V input, optimized for low-voltage, high-current POL conversion |
| Quiescent Current | 0.85 mA typical non-switching IQ; 10 µA shutdown current enables battery-sensitive designs |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 39.2 °C/W (HTSSOP-14), enabling 1.5 W dissipation at 40°C ambient without forced air |
Pinout & Package
LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB uses a 14-pin HTSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (Pin 1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to internal logic; must be ≥2.85 V and ≥ PVIN |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; tie to GND to disable; no external pullup required |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling into error amplifier |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start timing | Connects to 1–50 nF capacitor to control output ramp time and limit inrush current |
| NC (Pins 5, 12, 13) | No connect | Must be left floating or tied to GND; no electrical function |
| PVIN (Pins 6, 7) | Power FET supply | Drives internal high-side/low-side MOSFETs; connects to bulk input capacitor |
| SNS (Pin 14) | Output voltage sense | High-impedance feedback node; route directly to load for accurate regulation |
| PGND (Pins 10, 11) | Power ground return | Low-impedance path for switch current; connect to thermal pad and main ground plane |
| SW (Pins 8, 9) | Switch node | Connects to output inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short, wide trace routing |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB over temperature?
The LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB has a guaranteed output voltage tolerance of ±2.23% (2.4437 V to 2.5563 V) across the full operating junction temperature range of –40°C to 125°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VOUT for the 2.5-V option. This tolerance includes initial accuracy, line regulation, and load regulation effects.
Does the LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB integrates a complete type-three compensation network internally. This eliminates the need for external compensation capacitors or resistors, simplifying design and improving consistency across production units. The internal compensation is optimized for the recommended output filter component ranges listed in Table 1 of the datasheet.
Can the LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB operate with PVIN lower than AVIN?
Yes - the LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB supports split-rail operation where PVIN may be lower than AVIN, but PVIN must never exceed AVIN. For example, AVIN can be set to 5 V for logic bias while PVIN is supplied from a 3.3 V rail powering the internal FETs. This configuration improves efficiency at lower input voltages and reduces stress on the power stage.
What is the minimum soft-start capacitor value supported by the LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB?
The LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB supports soft-start capacitors from 1 nF to 50 nF. A 2.7 nF capacitor (as shown in typical application circuits) yields ~3 ms startup time. Values below 1 nF risk uncontrolled inrush current and potential current-limit activation during startup, violating recommended operating conditions.
Is the LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM2852 variants?
Yes - all LM2852 variants (including LM2852YMXA-2.5/NOPB, LM2852XMXA-2.5/NOPB, and other output voltage versions) share identical HTSSOP-14 pinout and footprint. The only functional differences are switching frequency (500 kHz vs. 1.5 MHz) and factory-programmed output voltage; no PCB redesign is needed when substituting within the same package variant.
