Product details
Overview
LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 2A synchronous buck regulator with fixed 3.3V output, 500 kHz switching frequency, input voltage range of 2.85 V to 5.5 V, internal 60-mΩ MOSFETs, and HTSSOP-14 package. It delivers precise point-of-load regulation for FPGA core rails and low-voltage embedded systems requiring high efficiency at light-to-moderate loads.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB application, or LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include factory-programmed 3.3V output, 500 kHz vs 1.5 MHz variant distinction, soft-start capacitor sizing (2.7 nF typical), thermal performance in exposed-pad HTSSOP, and split-rail AVIN/PVIN operation.
Technical Context
The LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB implements voltage-mode control with internal type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its PWM generator operates at a fixed 500 kHz frequency (Y-version), with duty cycle determined by VOUT/VIN ratio and regulated via an integrated error amplifier referenced to a factory-trimmed DAC.
Split-rail architecture separates AVIN (2.85–5.5 V, logic bias) from PVIN (1.5–5.5 V, power FET supply), enabling optimized input filtering and thermal management. Protection features include UVLO (2.85 V rising threshold), thermal shutdown (165°C), and switch-node monitoring that suppresses switching under no-load conditions until load is applied.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±1.5% (3.226–3.374 V) over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature |
| Max Output Current | 2 A continuous; peak current limit set to 2.25–3.65 A depending on temperature |
| Switching Frequency | 500 kHz (±25% over temperature); enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI profile |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85 V to 5.5 V on AVIN; PVIN supports 1.5 V to 5.5 V with AVIN ≥ PVIN constraint |
| Efficiency | Up to 96% at 3.3 VOUT/3.3 VIN, 1 A load; >84% at 0.1 A load confirms low-light-load capability |
| Quiescent Current | 0.85 mA typical (non-switching); 10 µA shutdown current enables battery-sensitive designs |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 39.2°C/W (HTSSOP-14); RθJC(bot) = 1.7°C/W enables direct PCB thermal pad conduction |
Pinout & Package
LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB uses a 14-pin HTSSOP package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (Pin 1) | Chip bias supply | Provides power to internal logic; must be ≥ PVIN and within 2.85–5.5 V range |
| EN (Pin 2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; tie to GND to disable; floating or AVIN-connected enables operation |
| SGND (Pin 3) | Signal ground reference | Separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling into feedback path |
| SS (Pin 4) | Soft-start timing | Connects to 1–50 nF capacitor; sets startup ramp time (e.g., 2.7 nF ≈ 3 ms) |
| PVIN (Pins 6, 7) | Power FET supply | Drives internal high-side and low-side MOSFETs; requires low-ESR bulk capacitance nearby |
| SNS (Pin 14) | Output voltage sense | High-impedance feedback node; connect directly to load for accurate regulation |
| SW (Pins 8, 9) | Switch node | Connects to output inductor; high di/dt node requiring short, wide trace routing |
| PGND (Pins 10, 11) | Power ground return | Low-impedance return path for high-current switching loop; tied to exposed pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed output | 3.3 V output permanently set at wafer level-no external resistor divider required |
| Integrated power switches | Internal 75 mΩ PFET and 55 mΩ NFET (25°C) reduce BOM count and improve efficiency vs discrete solutions |
| Type-three compensation | On-chip compensation network eliminates need for external RCZ network, simplifying layout and validation |
| Split-rail operation | Independent AVIN and PVIN supplies allow optimization of logic rail stability and power rail transient response |
| Exposed thermal pad | HTSSOP-14 package bottom pad improves thermal resistance by >95% vs non-exposed variants |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2852XMXA-3.3/NOPB | Same 3.3 V output but 1.5 MHz switching frequency; higher switching losses at heavy loads; smaller inductor/capacitor requirements | Better suited for ultra-compact layouts where board area is constrained more than thermal budget | Select LM2852XMXA-3.3/NOPB only when 1.5 MHz operation is required; LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB preferred for thermal-limited or efficiency-critical designs |
| TPS62231DRVR | 3.3 V fixed output, 3 MHz switching, 0.6–5.5 V input, 0.6 A max output; smaller 6-pin WSON package; no split-rail support | Targeted at low-power microcontrollers and sensors-not suitable for 2 A FPGA or ASIC loads | Use TPS62231DRVR only for sub-1 A applications where footprint and cost outweigh current capability needs |
Compared with LM2852XMXA-3.3/NOPB and TPS62231DRVR, LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB uniquely balances 2 A capability, 500 kHz efficiency optimization, and split-rail flexibility-making it the only option among the three qualified for thermally demanding, medium-current point-of-load applications.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB?
The LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB has a factory-programmed output voltage of 3.3 V with a tolerance of ±1.5%, specified as 3.2257 V to 3.3743 V over the full junction temperature range (–40°C to 125°C). This tight tolerance is achieved through laser trimming during wafer test and does not require external feedback components.
Does the LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB support split-rail operation?
Yes, the LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB supports split-rail operation: AVIN powers the control logic (2.85–5.5 V), while PVIN supplies the power FETs (1.5–5.5 V). AVIN must always be ≥ PVIN. This allows independent optimization of logic rail stability and power rail transient response in the LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB design.
What soft-start capacitor value is recommended for the LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB?
A 2.7 nF ceramic capacitor is the standard recommendation for the LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB soft-start pin (SS), yielding approximately 3 ms startup time. The LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB supports soft-start capacitors from 1 nF to 50 nF; values outside this range may cause unstable startup or fault recovery behavior.
How does thermal management work in the LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB package?
The LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB uses an HTSSOP-14 package with an exposed thermal pad that must be soldered to a PCB ground plane. Its junction-to-board thermal resistance (RθJB) is 20.1°C/W, and junction-to-case (bottom) resistance is only 1.7°C/W-enabling efficient heat transfer directly into the PCB copper. Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis.
Can the LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB operate with input voltage below 2.85 V?
No-the LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB UVLO threshold is 2.85 V (rising) on AVIN. If AVIN drops below this level, the device shuts down. PVIN may operate as low as 1.5 V, but AVIN must remain ≥2.85 V for functional operation. Attempting to operate the LM2852YMXA-3.3/NOPB below this threshold risks unregulated output or latch-up.
