Product details
Overview
LM2852YMXAX-1.8 from Texas Instruments is a 2A synchronous buck regulator in HTSSOP-14 with 500kHz switching frequency, factory-set 1.8V output (±2.25% tolerance), 2.85–5.5V input range, and internal 60mΩ PMOS/NMOS switches. It delivers stable core power to FPGA, DSP, and ASIC loads in portable computing and broadband infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the LM2852YMXAX-1.8 datasheet, LM2852YMXAX-1.8 pinout, LM2852YMXAX-1.8 application, or LM2852YMXAX-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage accuracy at 1.8V, thermal performance of the exposed-pad HTSSOP package, soft-start capacitor sizing (2.7nF typical), and compatibility with ceramic output capacitors down to 100µF.
Technical Context
The LM2852YMXAX-1.8 uses voltage-mode PWM control with integrated type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its internal 60mΩ PMOS high-side and 55mΩ NMOS low-side switches enable high efficiency across 0–2A load range.
It operates with AVIN bias supply (2.85–5.5V) independent from PVIN power rail (1.5–5.5V), supports split-rail configuration, and features UVLO with 85mV hysteresis, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and current-limit protection at 2.25–3.65A peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 1.8V ±2.25% (factory EEPROM-trimmed; measured at SNS pin under closed-loop, non-switching conditions) |
| Max Output Current | 2A continuous; peak switch current limit 2.25–3.65A ensures safe startup and overload handling |
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz (±37.5kHz over temperature); enables compact 10–15µH inductors and 100–120µF ceramic output capacitors |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.85V to 5.5V on AVIN; PVIN supports 1.5V to 5.5V - allows flexible split-rail operation with AVIN ≥ PVIN |
| Efficiency | 94% typical at 3.3VIN/1.8VOUT/1A; >84% at full 2A load, enabling thermally constrained PCB layouts |
| Quiescent Current | 0.85–2mA operating; 10–25µA shutdown - supports battery-backed systems requiring ultra-low standby drain |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 38°C/W; exposed pad must be soldered to ground plane for rated 2A operation at 125°C junction |
Pinout & Package
LM2852YMXAX-1.8 is housed in a 14-pin HTSSOP package (Package Drawing PWP0014A) with exposed thermal pad. The package requires Type-1 MSL handling (260°C, 10 sec) and RoHS-compliant CU SN lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| AVIN (1) | Chip bias supply | Provides logic power; must be ≥ PVIN and within 2.85–5.5V; internal UVLO referenced to this rail |
| EN (2) | Enable control | Internally pulled up; tie to GND to disable; VIH ≥ 75% AVIN, VIL ≤ 25% AVIN for reliable toggling |
| SGND (3) | Signal ground reference | Reference for error amplifier and internal circuitry; must connect to clean analog ground plane |
| SS (4) | Soft-start timing node | Connects to 1–50nF capacitor; 2.7nF yields ~3ms startup; internal 400kΩ resistor sets RC time constant |
| NC (5,12,13) | No-connect | Must remain unconnected or tied to GND; no internal connection; floating allowed per TI design guidelines |
| PVIN (6,7) | Main power input | Supplies internal PMOS switch source; accepts 1.5–5.5V; high-current path requiring low-inductance layout |
| SNS (14) | Output voltage sense | Feedback node; connect directly to load via Kelvin trace to maintain ±2.25% regulation accuracy at point-of-load |
| SW (8,9) | Power switch node | Drives external inductor; high dv/dt node requiring short, wide trace and EMI-aware routing |
| PGND (10,11) | Power ground return | High-current return for NMOS switch and inductor; must tie to low-impedance ground plane under exposed pad |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed 1.8V output | Eliminates external feedback resistors; guarantees ±2.25% initial accuracy without trimming or calibration |
| Integrated type-three compensation | Removes need for external compensation network; ensures stability with recommended L/C/ESR ranges (e.g., 10–15µH, 100–120µF, 100–200mΩ) |
| Internal 60mΩ PMOS / 55mΩ NMOS switches | Reduces BOM count and conduction losses; enables >94% efficiency at 1A with 3.3V input |
| Split-rail AVIN/PVIN operation | Allows AVIN to power control logic from a clean 3.3V rail while PVIN draws high current from noisy 5V bus |
| Exposed thermal pad (HTSSOP-14) | Enables θJA = 38°C/W when soldered to ≥1in² copper area; critical for sustained 2A operation at 125°C ambient |
Applications
| FPGA Core Power Supply | DSP Local Point-of-Load Regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM2852XMXAX-1.8 | 1.5MHz switching frequency; same 1.8V output, HTSSOP-14 package, but higher fosc (1050–1825kHz) and lower max load current (1.5A typical) | Requires smaller 1–10µH inductors and 10µF ceramic output caps; less suitable for high-current (>1.5A), low-EMI applications | Select LM2852XMXAX-1.8 only when board space is critical and load stays below 1.5A; LM2852YMXAX-1.8 remains preferred for full 2A capability and lower EMI. |
| TPS62231DRYT | 1.8V fixed-output, 2A buck with 3.5–6.5V input range, 3.6MHz switching, and 17µA quiescent current; WSON-6 package (2mm × 2mm) | Smaller footprint but no exposed thermal pad; lacks split-rail AVIN/PVIN support and internal soft-start capacitor scaling | Choose TPS62231DRYT for ultra-compact, low-IQ designs where thermal margin is sufficient and soft-start timing is managed externally. |
Compared with LM2852XMXAX-1.8 and TPS62231DRYT, LM2852YMXAX-1.8 uniquely balances 2A capability, 500kHz EMI profile, factory-trimmed 1.8V accuracy, and split-rail flexibility - making it optimal for thermally demanding, medium-power FPGA/DSP point-of-load designs.

FAQ
What is the exact output voltage tolerance of the LM2852YMXAX-1.8?
The LM2852YMXAX-1.8 has a factory-trimmed output voltage of 1.8V with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.25% (1.7595V to 1.8405V) over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature, measured at the SNS pin in closed-loop, non-switching conditions per the SNVS325D datasheet.
Does the LM2852YMXAX-1.8 require external compensation components?
No, the LM2852YMXAX-1.8 integrates a complete type-three compensation network on-die. This eliminates external compensation resistors and capacitors, simplifying design and ensuring stability when used with recommended output filter values (e.g., 10–15µH inductor, 100–120µF capacitor, 100–200mΩ ESR).
Can the LM2852YMXAX-1.8 operate with separate AVIN and PVIN supplies?
Yes, the LM2852YMXAX-1.8 supports true split-rail operation: AVIN powers the control logic (2.85–5.5V), while PVIN supplies the power switches (1.5–5.5V). PVIN must always be ≤ AVIN; this configuration isolates noise-sensitive logic from high-current switching paths.
What soft-start capacitor value is recommended for the LM2852YMXAX-1.8?
A 2.7nF ceramic capacitor is the standard recommendation for the LM2852YMXAX-1.8 SS pin, yielding approximately 3ms startup time. The device supports 1–50nF; values outside this range may cause unreliable startup or violate fault recovery behavior during short-circuit events.
How is thermal performance ensured for the LM2852YMXAX-1.8 at full 2A load?
Thermal performance of the LM2852YMXAX-1.8 at 2A relies on soldering the exposed thermal pad to a minimum 1in² copper ground plane. With this layout, its θJA is 38°C/W, allowing operation up to +125°C junction temperature in ambient temperatures ≤ +85°C with adequate airflow or heatsinking.
