Product details
Overview
LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3-A, 550-kHz synchronous buck regulator with factory-programmed 1.2 V output, 3 V to 5.5 V input range, internal 40 mΩ/32 mΩ MOSFETs, and voltage-mode control-designed for FPGA/DSP core power in compact point-of-load systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB datasheet, LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB pinout, LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB application, or LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage accuracy (±2.25% over –40°C to 125°C), thermal performance (RθJA = 38°C/W), soft-start programmability, and HTSSOP-14 package compatibility with high-current PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB implements voltage-mode PWM control with integrated type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its dual-MOSFET power stage uses separate AVIN (control logic) and PVIN (power FET) rails, enabling split-rail operation where PVIN ≤ AVIN.
Internal protection includes thermal shutdown at 165°C (10°C hysteresis), current-limit threshold of 3.6–5 A, and UVLO with 2.47 V rising threshold and 50–260 mV hysteresis-ensuring robust startup and fault recovery without external circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Factory-set 1.2 V ±2.25% (–40°C to 125°C), fixed and non-adjustable |
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 5.5 V on AVIN; 1.5 V to 5.5 V on PVIN-supports split-rail supply configurations |
| Max Output Current | 3 A continuous load capability with internal 40 mΩ high-side and 32 mΩ low-side MOSFETs |
| Switching Frequency | 550 kHz nominal (325–725 kHz range), enabling compact magnetics and predictable EMI profile |
| Quiescent Current | 12 µA shutdown current and 0.85–2 mA operating current-optimized for battery-backed or low-power standby modes |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 38°C/W (HTSSOP-14 with exposed pad soldered to GND plane) |
| Soft-Start Control | RC-based timing via external capacitor (1–50 nF) on SS pin; 450 kΩ internal DAC resistor sets ramp rate |
Pinout & Package
LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB is housed in a 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package measuring 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm with an exposed thermal pad internally connected to GND-requiring soldering to a dedicated PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AVIN) | Control supply input | Powers internal logic and bias circuitry; must be ≥3 V and ≥PVIN |
| 2 (EN) | Enable control | Active-high enable with 75% AVIN threshold; internal pullup ensures default-on operation |
| 3 (SGND) | Analog ground reference | Low-noise return for feedback and control circuits-must be isolated from power ground at PCB level |
| 4 (SS) | Soft-start timing node | Connects to external capacitor to control output voltage ramp rate; also used for fault recovery tracking |
| 5 (NC) | No-connect | Must be tied to SGND; not internally connected |
| 6,7 (PVIN) | Power switch supply | High-current input for internal MOSFETs; requires low-impedance path to bulk capacitor |
| 8,9 (SW) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; experiences full switching voltage swing (0 V to PVIN); critical for EMI layout |
| 10,11 (PGND) | Power ground return | High-current return path for MOSFETs and inductor-must connect directly to exposed pad and bulk capacitor |
| 12,13 (NC) | No-connect | Both pins must be tied to PGND; no internal connection |
| 14 (SNS) | Output voltage sense | High-impedance feedback input referenced to internal 200 kΩ divider; requires Kelvin connection near load |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54331DR | 3-A, 570-kHz buck with adjustable output (0.8–6 V) via external resistor divider; no factory-programmed option | Requires external feedback resistors and compensation; higher BOM count but supports dynamic voltage scaling | Select when output voltage flexibility or margin testing is required; not drop-in due to different pinout and compensation method |
| MP2332HGTL-Z | 3-A, 500-kHz buck with 1.2 V fixed option; smaller QFN-10 (3×3 mm) package; no split-rail AVIN/PVIN support | Lacks AVIN/PVIN separation-limits use in systems with disparate supply domains; lower thermal resistance (RθJA = 30°C/W) | Choose for space-constrained designs where single-rail input suffices and thermal headroom exceeds 38°C/W requirement |
Compared with TPS54331DR and MP2332HGTL-Z, LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB uniquely combines factory-set 1.2 V accuracy, split-rail operation, and integrated type-three compensation-reducing design risk in fixed-output, thermally demanding FPGA/DSP applications without sacrificing layout simplicity.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB over temperature?
The LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB delivers 1.2 V with ±2.25% tolerance across the full operating junction temperature range of –40°C to 125°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (VOUT = 1.2 V option, TJ = –40°C to 125°C). This accuracy is factory-trimmed into EEPROM and does not require external calibration. The LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB maintains this specification without load or line adjustment-making it suitable for precision core rail applications.
Does LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB support split-rail operation, and what are the voltage constraints?
Yes, LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB supports split-rail operation using separate AVIN (control logic supply) and PVIN (power FET supply) inputs. AVIN must be ≥3 V and ≥PVIN; PVIN may range from 1.5 V to 5.5 V. This architecture isolates control circuitry from power-stage noise and improves efficiency when PVIN is derived from a lower-voltage intermediate rail. The LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB datasheet confirms this in Section 8.1.9 and Recommended Operating Conditions.
What is the recommended soft-start capacitor value for LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB, and why is there a range?
The LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB specifies a soft-start capacitor (CSS) range of 1 nF to 50 nF on the SS pin, based on internal 450 kΩ DAC resistance. A 2.2 nF capacitor yields ~3 ms startup time (three RC time constants), commonly used in reference designs like the 3.3 V to 1.2 V conversion in Table 5. Values outside this range risk uncontrolled startup or failure to recover from fault conditions-the LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB's internal fault logic ties SS voltage to output during shorts, requiring controlled capacitance for graceful restart.
How does the exposed thermal pad on LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB impact thermal performance?
The exposed pad on the LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve the specified RθJA of 38°C/W. Without proper pad soldering, thermal resistance increases significantly-potentially raising junction temperature by >25°C at 3 A load. Layout guidelines (Section 9.1) emphasize full-pad soldering and wide thermal vias to maximize heat transfer. The LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB's thermal performance directly affects maximum sustained current and reliability in sealed or high-ambient environments.
Is LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM2853 variants like LM2853MH-1.8/NOPB?
Yes, all LM2853MH-x.x/NOPB variants-including LM2853MH-1.2/NOPB-are mechanically and electrically pin-compatible within the HTSSOP-14 (PWP) package. They share identical pin configuration, thermal pad layout, and functional pin roles. Output voltage is the only difference, factory-programmed into EEPROM; no changes to PCB layout, external components, or firmware are needed when substituting between 1.2 V, 1.5 V, or 1.8 V versions-enabling easy voltage optimization during design validation.
