Product details
Overview
LM2853MH-2.5 from Texas Instruments is a 3A, 550 kHz synchronous buck regulator in an exposed-pad HTSSOP-14 package, delivering a factory-programmed 2.5 V output with ±2.25% tolerance (2.4437 V to 2.5563 V) across −40°C to +125°C. It operates from 3.0 V to 5.5 V input, integrates 40 mΩ/32 mΩ internal MOSFETs, and supports low-voltage point-of-load regulation for FPGA/DSP core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2853MH-2.5 datasheet, LM2853MH-2.5 pinout, LM2853MH-2.5 application, or LM2853MH-2.5 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 2.5 V output, internal type-three compensation, 12 µA shutdown current, TSSOP-14 thermal performance, and compatibility with standard 4.7–6.8 µH inductors and 100–220 µF output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LM2853MH-2.5 implements voltage-mode control with integrated PWM controller, synchronous power switches, and on-die type-three compensation-eliminating external compensation components. Its dual-rail architecture separates AVIN (3.0–5.5 V control supply) from PVIN (1.5–5.5 V power supply), enabling flexible biasing and improved transient response.
Protection features include thermal shutdown at 165°C (10°C hysteresis), cycle-by-cycle current limiting (3.6–5 A threshold), and UVLO on AVIN (2.47–3.0 V turn-on with 50–260 mV hysteresis). The SNS pin enables precise resistive feedback-free regulation, while the SS pin supports externally adjustable soft-start via 1–50 nF capacitor.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2.25% (2.4437 V–2.5563 V) over full temperature and line range-no external resistor divider required. |
| Max Output Current | 3 A continuous-supports high-current digital loads like FPGA I/O banks or DSP peripherals without external current boosting. |
| Switching Frequency | 550 kHz nominal (325–725 kHz range)-enables compact magnetics and balances efficiency vs. EMI for mid-power applications. |
| Input Voltage Range | AVIN: 3.0–5.5 V; PVIN: 1.5–5.5 V-allows split-rail operation for optimized efficiency when powering from separate rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 12 µA in shutdown-minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed or always-on systems. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 38 °C/W (MXA14A package)-requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal relief under full load at 125°C ambient. |
| Internal FET RDS(on) | P-FET: 40 mΩ typ / 120 mΩ max; N-FET: 32 mΩ typ / 100 mΩ max-determines conduction loss and efficiency at 3 A load. |
Pinout & Package
Package: HTSSOP-14 with exposed thermal pad (TI package drawing PWP, JEDEC MO-153 variant MXA14A). The exposed pad must be soldered to a dedicated GND plane for thermal and electrical integrity; it is internally connected to GND but not rated as primary ground path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AVIN) | Control circuit supply input | Provides regulated bias for internal logic; must be ≥3.0 V and ≤5.5 V; decoupling with 1 µF ceramic recommended. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high enable; internally pulled up-device powers on by default unless driven low; VIH = 75% AVIN, VIL = 25% AVIN. |
| 3 (SGND) | Analog ground reference | Low-noise ground for error amplifier and feedback circuitry; must be star-connected to avoid noise coupling into SNS. |
| 4 (SS) | Soft-start timing node | Connects to external capacitor (1–50 nF) to control output ramp rate; internal 450 kΩ resistor sets RC time constant. |
| 5 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Must be tied to SGND; not internally connected-ensures mechanical stability and avoids floating node EMI. |
| 6,7 (PVIN) | Power switch supply input | High-current input for internal FETs; requires low-ESR bulk capacitor (e.g., 47 µF ceramic) placed adjacent to pins. |
| 8,9 (SW) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; high dV/dt node-must use short, wide trace to minimize ringing and EMI radiation. |
| 10,11 (PGND) | Power ground return | High-current return path for FETs and inductor; must connect directly to PGND plane under exposed pad. |
| 12,13 (NC) | No-connect terminals | Both must be tied to PGND; improves thermal conduction and reduces parasitic inductance in power loop. |
| 14 (SNS) | Output voltage sense input | Direct connection to regulated output; senses voltage at load to maintain accuracy-requires Kelvin routing near load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Type-Three Compensation | Eliminates external compensation network-reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity while ensuring stable operation with recommended LO/CO ranges. |
| Synchronous Power Stage | 40 mΩ P-FET + 32 mΩ N-FET pair-enables >90% peak efficiency at 3 A, 5 V→2.5 V, reducing heat dissipation vs. diode-based buck. |
| Split-Rail Input Architecture | Independent AVIN and PVIN supplies-permits optimization of control logic voltage (e.g., 3.3 V) while powering FETs from higher-efficiency rail (e.g., 5 V). |
| Factory-Programmed Output | 2.5 V set via on-chip EEPROM-guarantees output accuracy without external resistors, simplifying design and improving long-term stability. |
| Robust Protection Suite | Includes thermal shutdown (165°C), cycle-by-cycle current limit (≥3.6 A), and AVIN UVLO-prevents damage during fault conditions without external circuitry. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM2853MH-2.5 over temperature and line variations?
The LM2853MH-2.5 delivers a factory-programmed 2.5 V output with guaranteed tolerance of ±2.25% (2.4437 V to 2.5563 V) across the full operating junction temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and input voltage range (3.0 V to 5.5 V AVIN). This specification is measured at the SNS pin in closed-loop, non-switching configuration per the official datasheet.
Can the LM2853MH-2.5 operate with separate AVIN and PVIN supplies?
Yes, the LM2853MH-2.5 supports split-rail operation: AVIN (3.0–5.5 V) powers the control circuitry, while PVIN (1.5–5.5 V) powers the synchronous FETs. PVIN must be ≤ AVIN. This architecture enables optimized efficiency-for example, using 3.3 V for AVIN and 5 V for PVIN in mixed-voltage systems-without compromising regulation or protection functionality.
What is the recommended soft-start capacitor value for the LM2853MH-2.5?
The LM2853MH-2.5 uses an internal 450 kΩ resistor to charge the soft-start capacitor (CSS) connected to pin 4. For a typical 3 ms startup time, a 2.2 nF ceramic capacitor is recommended-this yields ~1 ms RC time constant, and three constants (~3 ms) bring the output to 95% of final voltage. CSS must be between 1 nF and 50 nF to ensure proper fault recovery behavior.
Does the LM2853MH-2.5 require external compensation components?
No, the LM2853MH-2.5 integrates a complete type-three compensation network on-die. This eliminates external op-amp, capacitor, and resistor networks-reducing BOM count, board area, and design risk. Stability is ensured when using inductors (4.7–6.8 µH) and output capacitors (100–220 µF) within the ranges specified in Table 1 of the datasheet.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM2853MH-2.5 in a standard PCB layout?
In a standard 4-layer PCB with 1 oz copper, 200 mm² exposed pad GND pour, and recommended layout practices (short PVIN/CIN traces, Kelvin SNS routing), the LM2853MH-2.5 achieves θJA = 38 °C/W. At 3 A load and 5 V input, this translates to ~45°C junction rise above ambient-well below the 125°C max rating, enabling reliable operation without forced air or heatsinks.
