Product details
Overview
LM2853MH-3.3 from Texas Instruments is a 3A, 550 kHz synchronous buck regulator in an exposed-pad HTSSOP-14 package, delivering a factory-programmed 3.3V output from 3.0–5.5V input. It integrates internal 40 mΩ/32 mΩ MOSFETs, type-three compensation, and soft-start control-enabling compact, low-component-count point-of-load regulation for FPGA core supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LM2853MH-3.3 datasheet, LM2853MH-3.3 pinout, LM2853MH-3.3 application, or LM2853MH-3.3 equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 3.3V output, 12 µA shutdown current, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and compatibility with standard 4.7–6.8 µH inductors and 120–220 µF output capacitors per TI's recommended design guidelines.
Technical Context
The LM2853MH-3.3 employs voltage-mode PWM control with internal type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its dual-rail architecture separates AVIN (3.0–5.5V control supply) from PVIN (1.5–5.5V power supply), enabling optimized noise isolation and flexible input sourcing.
It features integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs (RDS(ON) = 40 mΩ / 32 mΩ), programmable soft-start via external capacitor (1–50 nF), and fault-responsive soft-start voltage clamping during UVLO or short-circuit events-ensuring controlled restart without output overshoot.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3V ±1.1% over −40°C to +125°C junction temperature |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous load capability with thermal foldback protection above 165°C |
| Input Voltage Range | 3.0V to 5.5V on AVIN; 1.5V to 5.5V on PVIN-supports split-rail operation |
| Switching Frequency | 550 kHz nominal (325–725 kHz range), enabling compact magnetics and predictable EMI profile |
| Quiescent Current | 12 µA in shutdown mode; 0.85–2 mA operating current reduces no-load power loss |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 38°C/W (MXA14A package), requiring minimal PCB copper area for full 3A operation at +85°C ambient |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 75% of AVIN; VIL = 25% of AVIN-compatible with standard logic-level enable signals |
Pinout & Package
LM2853MH-3.3 uses the HTSSOP-14 (PWP) package with exposed thermal pad (EP), rated for 260°C soldering and JEDEC Level-1 moisture sensitivity. The exposed pad must be soldered to a dedicated ground plane for thermal and electrical performance-EP is internally connected to GND but not rated as primary GND path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AVIN) | Control circuit supply input | Provides regulated bias for internal logic; must be ≥3.0V and ≤5.5V; decoupled locally with 1 µF ceramic |
| 2 (EN) | Enable control input | Active-high; internally pulled up-driving low disables regulator and reduces IQ to 12 µA |
| 3 (SGND) | Analog ground reference | Low-noise return for error amplifier and feedback network; separate from PGND to minimize switching noise coupling |
| 4 (SS) | Soft-start timing node | Connects to external capacitor (1–50 nF) to control output ramp rate; also used for fault recovery tracking |
| 5 (NC) | No-connect terminal | Must be tied to SGND; not internally bonded-prevents floating node noise injection |
| 6,7 (PVIN) | Power switch supply input | High-current input for internal FETs; requires low-ESR bulk capacitor placed adjacent to pins |
| 8,9 (SW) | Power switch node | Drives external inductor; high dV/dt node-requires short, wide trace and careful EMI layout |
| 10,11 (PGND) | Power ground return | High-current return path for FETs and inductor; must connect to solid ground plane under EP |
| 12,13 (NC) | No-connect terminals | Both must be tied to PGND; unused bond pads-grounding prevents parasitic coupling |
| 14 (SNS) | Output voltage sense input | High-impedance feedback node; connects directly to load for accurate remote sensing |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally connected to GND; requires ≥80% solder coverage to PCB ground plane for thermal compliance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Stage | Co-packaged 40 mΩ high-side and 32 mΩ low-side MOSFETs eliminate external switch losses and gate drive complexity |
| Factory-Programmed Output | 3.3V output set permanently in EEPROM-no external resistors required, ensuring ±1.1% accuracy across temperature |
| Type-Three On-Chip Compensation | Eliminates all external compensation components while maintaining ≥45° phase margin with recommended 4.7–6.8 µH / 120–220 µF LC networks |
| Split-Rail Input Architecture | Independent AVIN and PVIN supplies allow noise-sensitive control logic to be powered separately from noisy power stage inputs |
| Fault-Adaptive Soft-Start | Internal circuitry forces SS pin to track output voltage during faults (e.g., short-circuit), enabling graceful restart without output overshoot |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54331DR | 3A, 570 kHz adjustable-output buck; requires external feedback resistors and compensation | Supports variable output (0.8–6V); less suitable for fixed 3.3V systems needing zero-resistor BOM | Select when output voltage flexibility or higher VIN (up to 28V) is required-LM2853MH-3.3 offers lower component count for fixed 3.3V use. |
| MP2333HG-33 | 3A, 1.2 MHz fixed 3.3V buck; smaller QFN-10 package; no split-rail AVIN/PVIN support | Lacks independent AVIN supply-less optimal for noise-sensitive analog sections sharing same input rail | Choose for space-constrained designs where 1.2 MHz allows smaller inductors; LM2853MH-3.3 preferred when analog/RF coexistence demands AVIN isolation. |
Compared with TPS54331DR and MP2333HG-33, LM2853MH-3.3 uniquely combines factory-fixed 3.3V output, split-rail input architecture, and integrated type-three compensation-reducing design time and external part count while maintaining thermal robustness in industrial and networking applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LM2853MH-3.3 can accept?
The LM2853MH-3.3 accepts up to 5.5V on its AVIN pin (control supply) and up to 5.5V on PVIN (power supply), with minimums of 3.0V and 1.5V respectively. Exceeding 6.0V on any pin risks permanent damage per absolute maximum ratings. For reliable operation, maintain AVIN ≥ PVIN and stay within the specified operating ranges.
Does the LM2853MH-3.3 require external compensation components?
No, the LM2853MH-3.3 integrates a complete type-three compensation network on-die. This eliminates external compensation capacitors and resistors, simplifying design and improving consistency. Stability is guaranteed only when using inductors (4.7–6.8 µH) and output capacitors (120–220 µF) within TI's recommended ranges.
How is the 3.3V output voltage set in the LM2853MH-3.3?
The 3.3V output is factory-programmed into internal EEPROM during wafer test and cannot be adjusted externally. The SNS pin connects to a precision 200 kΩ resistor divider inside the IC, establishing a fixed 3.3V feedback ratio-ensuring ±1.1% tolerance across temperature without external resistors.
Can the LM2853MH-3.3 operate with different voltages on AVIN and PVIN?
Yes-the LM2853MH-3.3 supports true split-rail operation: AVIN may be supplied independently from PVIN, provided AVIN ≥ PVIN and both remain within their respective operating ranges (AVIN: 3.0–5.5V; PVIN: 1.5–5.5V). This isolates noise-sensitive control circuitry from high-current power switching paths.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LM2853MH-3.3 in a typical layout?
With the exposed pad fully soldered to a 4-layer PCB's internal ground plane (≥80% coverage), the LM2853MH-3.3 achieves θJA = 38°C/W. At 3A load and 25°C ambient, junction temperature rises ~114°C-well below the 125°C max operating limit if ambient stays ≤35°C or airflow is added.
