Product details
Overview
LM2853MH-1.8 from Texas Instruments is a 3-A, 550-kHz synchronous buck regulator in an HTSSOP-14 package, delivering a factory-programmed 1.8 V output with ±2.25% tolerance over –40°C to 125°C. It operates from 3 V to 5.5 V input, integrates 40 mΩ high-side and 32 mΩ low-side MOSFETs, and features internal type-three compensation for minimal external components. It serves as a point-of-load regulator for FPGA core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2853MH-1.8 datasheet, LM2853MH-1.8 pinout, LM2853MH-1.8 application, or LM2853MH-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 1.8 V output, 3 A continuous load capability, 12 µA shutdown current, 550 kHz switching frequency, and thermal performance enabled by the exposed-pad HTSSOP package.
Technical Context
The LM2853MH-1.8 implements voltage-mode control with internal PWM controller, synchronous rectification, and on-die type-three compensation-eliminating need for external compensation networks. Its dual-rail input architecture separates AVIN (3–5.5 V control supply) from PVIN (1.5–5.5 V power supply), enabling flexible biasing and improved transient response.
Protection features include cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (3.6–5 A threshold), thermal shutdown at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis, and UVLO on AVIN (2.47–3.0 V rising edge). The SNS pin enables remote output sensing for precise load regulation, while SS pin supports externally adjustable soft-start via capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±2.25% over full temperature and line range - ensures stable core rail for 1.8 V logic domains. |
| Max Output Current | 3 A continuous - supports high-current FPGA/DSP core loads without external current sharing. |
| Switching Frequency | 550 kHz (325–725 kHz range) - balances efficiency, filter size, and EMI; enables compact 4.7–6.8 µH inductors. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 5.5 V on AVIN; 1.5 V to 5.5 V on PVIN - supports split-rail operation and compatibility with common intermediate bus voltages. |
| RDS(on) (HS/LG) | 40 mΩ / 32 mΩ - minimizes conduction loss at 3 A, enabling >90% efficiency at mid-load with 5 V input. |
| Shutdown Current | 12 µA - enables ultra-low-power system standby modes without external enable circuitry. |
| Soft-Start Control | RC-based (450 kΩ internal resistor) - allows precise 1–3 ms startup time using 1–2.2 nF external capacitor. |
Pinout & Package
LM2853MH-1.8 is housed in a thermally enhanced 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed pad soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal dissipation (RθJA = 38°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AVIN) | Control Circuit Supply | Provides regulated bias for internal logic; must be ≥3 V for guaranteed operation. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable Input | Active-high; internally pulled up - device powers on by default unless pulled low. |
| 3 (SGND) | Analog Ground | Low-noise reference for error amplifier and feedback network; separate from PGND. |
| 4 (SS) | Soft-Start | Controls ramp rate of output voltage; connects to external capacitor for programmable startup. |
| 5, 12, 13 (NC) | No Connect | Must be tied to ground per datasheet; not internally connected. |
| 6, 7 (PVIN) | Power Switch Supply | High-current input for FETs; requires local bulk capacitance near pins. |
| 8, 9 (SW) | Switch Node | Drives external inductor; high dV/dt node requiring short, wide trace routing. |
| 10, 11 (PGND) | Power Ground | Return path for high-switching currents; must connect to SGND at single point near IC. |
| 14 (SNS) | Voltage Sense | Connects to load-side feedback divider or directly to load for accurate remote sensing. |
| EP (Exposed Pad) | Thermal & Electrical Ground | Internally connected to GND; must be soldered to large PCB ground plane for thermal and noise control. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-Programmed Output | 1.8 V set permanently at wafer test - eliminates external feedback resistors and associated tolerance stack-up. |
| Synchronous Rectification | Integrated 40 mΩ/32 mΩ MOSFET pair - removes need for external Schottky diode, improving light-load efficiency. |
| Internal Type-Three Compensation | On-die compensation network - reduces BOM count to only 4 external components (CIN, CSS, LO, CO) for stable operation. |
| Split-Rail Input Architecture | Independent AVIN and PVIN supplies - allows optimization of control logic supply (e.g., 3.3 V) while powering FETs from lower PVIN (e.g., 2.5 V). |
| Robust Protection Suite | Includes overcurrent limit, thermal shutdown with hysteresis, and AVIN UVLO - prevents damage during fault conditions without external supervision. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54302DDAR | 3 A, 600 kHz, adjustable output (0.6–6 V) via external resistors; no factory-programmed 1.8 V option. | Requires feedback network and compensation tuning; better for designs needing multiple output voltages. | Select when flexibility in output voltage or external loop control is required; not drop-in for fixed 1.8 V use. |
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | 3 A, 500 kHz, fixed 1.8 V output; smaller 8-pin SOIC package; lacks split-rail inputs and soft-start pin. | Lower thermal performance (no exposed pad); limited to single-rail input; no remote sense or programmable soft-start. | Select for space-constrained, cost-sensitive applications where thermal headroom and advanced features are secondary. |
Compared with TPS54302DDAR and MP2315DJ-LF-Z, LM2853MH-1.8 provides guaranteed 1.8 V accuracy without external resistors, superior thermal management via exposed-pad HTSSOP, and design flexibility through independent AVIN/PVIN rails and configurable soft-start - making it optimal for high-reliability FPGA/DSP core supplies.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM2853MH-1.8 over temperature and line?
The LM2853MH-1.8 delivers a factory-programmed 1.8 V output with ±2.25% tolerance across –40°C to 125°C junction temperature and full input voltage range. This is confirmed in Section 6.5 of the datasheet: min 1.7595 V, typ 1.8 V, max 1.8405 V under specified conditions. The tight tolerance eliminates need for post-manufacturing calibration in 1.8 V core applications.
Does the LM2853MH-1.8 require external compensation components?
No, the LM2853MH-1.8 integrates a complete type-three compensation network on-die. As stated in the Features and Description sections, this enables stable operation with only four external components: input capacitor, soft-start capacitor, output inductor, and output capacitor. External compensation is neither required nor supported.
Can the LM2853MH-1.8 operate with different voltages on AVIN and PVIN?
Yes, the LM2853MH-1.8 supports true split-rail operation: AVIN (3–5.5 V) powers control circuitry, while PVIN (1.5–5.5 V) powers the power FETs. Section 8.1.9 confirms PVIN may be lower than AVIN - e.g., AVIN = 3.3 V and PVIN = 2.5 V - enabling optimized efficiency and reduced stress on power switches.
What is the purpose of the SNS pin on the LM2853MH-1.8?
The SNS (Sense) pin on the LM2853MH-1.8 enables remote output voltage sensing by connecting directly to the load, compensating for IR drop in PCB traces. As described in Section 8.1.3 and Figure 10, this ensures the regulated voltage at the load matches the 1.8 V target precisely - critical for low-voltage, high-current FPGA/DSP cores.
Is the LM2853MH-1.8 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the LM2853MH-1.8/NOPB.A is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with Sn (matte tin) lead finish and MSL Level-1 rating (260°C peak reflow). This is verified in the Package Option Addendum (page 16), which lists "Yes" under RoHS and "SN" under Lead finish/Ball material for all LM2853MH-1.8 variants.
