Product details
Overview
LM2852YMXA-3.3 from Texas Instruments is a 2 A synchronous buck regulator with factory-programmed 3.3 V output, 500 kHz switching frequency, input voltage range of 2.85 V to 5.5 V, and integrated 60 mΩ PFET/NFET power switches-designed for point-of-load regulation in FPGA core supplies and portable computing power rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852YMXA-3.3 datasheet, LM2852YMXA-3.3 pinout, LM2852YMXA-3.3 application, or LM2852YMXA-3.3 equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage accuracy (±1.9% at 3.3 V), thermal performance in HTSSOP-14 (RθJA = 39.2 °C/W), soft-start programmability (1–50 nF), and internal type-three compensation enabling minimal external components.
Technical Context
The LM2852YMXA-3.3 implements voltage-mode PWM control with internal type-three compensation, eliminating need for external loop compensation components. Its split-rail architecture separates AVIN (logic bias) from PVIN (power FET supply), supporting optimized input filtering and thermal management.
Switch node protection logic disables switching under no-load or light-load conditions until load demand triggers normal operation-ensuring safe startup and preventing unintended oscillation. UVLO threshold is 2.85 V (rising), with 85–210 mV hysteresis, and thermal shutdown activates at 165 °C with 10 °C hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Factory-set 3.3 V ±1.9% (3.226–3.374 V), verified across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature |
| Max Output Current | 2 A continuous load capability with internal current limit threshold of 2.25–3.65 A (–40°C to 125°C) |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz ±37.5% (325–625 kHz), stable over full temperature and input voltage range |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85 V to 5.5 V on AVIN; PVIN must be ≤ AVIN and ≥1.5 V, enabling flexible split-rail operation |
| Power Switch RDS(on) | 75 mΩ PFET / 55 mΩ NFET at 25°C; rises to 140 mΩ / 120 mΩ at 125°C-directly impacts conduction loss and thermal design |
| Quiescent Current | 0.85 mA typical non-switching IQ; 10 µA shutdown current enables ultra-low-power standby modes |
| Soft-Start Range | Programmable via external capacitor (1–50 nF); 2.7 nF yields ~3 ms startup time-prevents inrush and ensures controlled rail sequencing |
Pinout & Package
The LM2852YMXA-3.3 is housed in an exposed-pad HTSSOP-14 package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm), where the thermal pad must be soldered to a PCB ground plane for optimal thermal dissipation (RθJC(bot) = 1.7 °C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (Pin 1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to internal logic; may be supplied independently from PVIN for split-rail optimization |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; tie to GND to disable; 75% AVIN threshold for high, 25% for low |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling into error amplifier and feedback path |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start timing | Connects to external capacitor (1–50 nF) to control output ramp rate and prevent inrush |
| NC (Pins 5, 12, 13) | No-connect | Must be left floating or tied to GND-no internal connection; not for thermal relief |
| PVIN (Pins 6, 7) | Power FET supply | Drives internal high-side/low-side MOSFETs; requires low-impedance local decoupling |
| SNS (Pin 14) | Output voltage sense | High-impedance feedback node; connect directly to load for accurate remote sensing |
| PGND (Pins 10, 11) | Power ground return | Carries high-frequency switch currents; must connect to dedicated low-inductance ground plane |
| SW (Pins 8, 9) | Switch node | Connects to output inductor; carries high di/dt; layout critical for EMI and efficiency |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internal Type-Three Compensation | Eliminates need for external compensation network-reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity while maintaining >45° phase margin across recommended L/C ranges |
| Split-Rail Operation (AVIN/PVIN) | Enables independent optimization of logic bias and power stage supply-improves efficiency when PVIN < AVIN (e.g., 3.3 V PVIN with 5 V AVIN) |
| Switch Node Protection Logic | Prevents uncontrolled switching during no-load or light-load conditions-avoids false triggering and improves system reliability during power-up sequencing |
| Factory-Programmed Output | Fixed 3.3 V output eliminates external resistor divider-guarantees accuracy without calibration and reduces footprint versus adjustable regulators |
| Exposed Thermal Pad (HTSSOP-14) | Enables direct thermal path to PCB ground plane-supports 2 A continuous operation at ambient up to 85°C without heatsink |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62231DRVR | 3 MHz fixed-frequency, 0.6–5.5 V adjustable output, 0.65 A max, smaller 2-mm × 2-mm WSON package | Lower current rating and higher frequency-suited for space-constrained, lower-power sensor nodes, not 2 A loads | Select when board area is critical and load < 0.65 A; avoid for FPGA or networking PHY use cases requiring 2 A. |
| MP2143GJ-Z | 2 A, 2.5–5.5 V input, 0.8–5 V adjustable output, 1.5 MHz, no internal compensation (requires external RC network) | Lacks factory-programmed 3.3 V option and integrated compensation-increases design complexity and component count | Choose only if adjustable output and higher frequency are mandatory; accept added layout and stability validation effort. |
Compared with TPS62231DRVR and MP2143GJ-Z, the LM2852YMXA-3.3 delivers guaranteed 2 A capability with zero-compensation external parts, factory-trimmed 3.3 V, and proven thermal performance in HTSSOP-14-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, medium-power embedded systems needing rapid time-to-market.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM2852YMXA-3.3 across temperature and load?
The LM2852YMXA-3.3 has a factory-programmed 3.3 V output with guaranteed tolerance of ±1.9% (3.2257 V to 3.3743 V) over the full junction temperature range of –40°C to 125°C and full load range. This specification is validated per TI's electrical characteristics table and applies under recommended operating conditions with proper PCB layout and component selection.
Does the LM2852YMXA-3.3 require external compensation components?
No, the LM2852YMXA-3.3 integrates a complete type-three compensation network internally. This eliminates the need for external resistors or capacitors in the feedback loop, reducing bill-of-materials count and layout sensitivity-provided the selected output inductor (10–15 µH) and capacitor (68–220 µF) fall within TI's validated ranges per the datasheet.
Can the LM2852YMXA-3.3 operate with separate AVIN and PVIN supplies?
Yes, the LM2852YMXA-3.3 supports true split-rail operation: AVIN powers the control logic (2.85–5.5 V), while PVIN supplies the power FETs (1.5–5.5 V). PVIN must always be ≤ AVIN. This allows optimizing efficiency-for example, using 3.3 V for PVIN and 5 V for AVIN-without compromising regulation or thermal performance.
What is the purpose of the SNS pin on the LM2852YMXA-3.3?
The SNS (sense) pin on the LM2852YMXA-3.3 is the high-impedance feedback node for the output voltage regulation loop. It must be connected directly to the load side of the output capacitor-preferably at the load's power entry point-to compensate for IR drop in PCB traces and ensure accurate remote voltage regulation at the point of use.
How does the LM2852YMXA-3.3 handle startup under no-load conditions?
The LM2852YMXA-3.3 incorporates switch node protection logic that inhibits switching during no-load or very light-load conditions. The output reaches 3.3 V via charge redistribution, but active PWM operation begins only when sufficient load current is drawn-preventing instability and ensuring reliable, controlled startup without external intervention.
