Product details
Overview
LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3-A, 550-kHz synchronous buck regulator with factory-programmed 1.5 V output, 40 mΩ high-side and 32 mΩ low-side MOSFETs, input voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V, and internal type-three compensation - designed for FPGA/DSP core power delivery in space-constrained industrial and networking systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB datasheet, LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB pinout, LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB application, or LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, thermal performance data (RθJA = 38 °C/W), soft-start configuration guidance, and real-world layout considerations for stable 1.5 V/3 A point-of-load conversion.
Technical Context
The LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB implements voltage-mode control with fixed 550 kHz switching frequency and integrated PWM controller, power switches, and type-three compensation network - eliminating external compensation components. Its dual-rail capability allows independent AVIN (3–5.5 V) and PVIN (1.5–5.5 V) supplies, enabling optimized efficiency in split-rail architectures.
Protection features include thermal shutdown at 165 °C (10 °C hysteresis), current-limit threshold of 3.6–5 A, and UVLO on AVIN with 2.47 V rising threshold and 50–260 mV hysteresis. The device achieves ≤1.5337 V output tolerance over –40 °C to 125 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Factory-set 1.5 V ±1.5% (1.4663–1.5337 V) over full temperature range - ensures precise core rail compliance for 1.5 V FPGA I/O or DSP logic. |
| Max Output Current | 3 A continuous - supports high-current digital loads without external current sharing or derating at 125 °C ambient with proper PCB copper. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 5.5 V on AVIN; 1.5 V to 5.5 V on PVIN - enables flexible supply sourcing including single 3.3 V or 5 V rails, or split-rail optimization. |
| Switching Frequency | 550 kHz (±35%) - balances EMI filtering complexity and inductor size; supports compact 4.7–6.8 µH output inductors per TI-recommended design. |
| RDS(ON) | 40 mΩ (high-side), 32 mΩ (low-side) - minimizes conduction loss at 3 A, enabling >90% peak efficiency at mid-load with 5 V input. |
| Quiescent Current | 12 µA in shutdown - critical for battery-backed or always-on subsystems requiring ultra-low standby power. |
| Thermal Resistance | RθJA = 38 °C/W (HTSSOP-14 with exposed pad soldered to ground plane) - defines maximum power dissipation limit (~2.1 W at ΔT = 80 °C). |
Pinout & Package
LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB uses a 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body and thermally enhanced exposed pad (EP), internally connected to GND but requiring external soldering to a PCB ground plane for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AVIN) | Control circuit supply | Powers internal bias, reference, and logic; must be ≥3 V and stable before enable - decoupling with 1 µF ceramic near pin improves transient response. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high; internally pulled up - tie to GND to disable; requires ≥75% of AVIN to assert, <25% to deassert; 1.5 µA pullup current. |
| 3 (SGND) | Analog ground | Low-noise return for feedback and sensing circuitry - must be separated from PGND and joined at single point near EP to avoid noise coupling. |
| 4 (SS) | Soft-start capacitor node | Controls ramp rate of output voltage; 450 kΩ internal DAC resistor sets timing - 2.2 nF yields ~3 ms startup; restrict to 1–50 nF for fault recovery. |
| 5, 12, 13 (NC) | No-connect | Must be tied to GND per datasheet - not floating; provides mechanical stability and thermal path when grounded. |
| 6, 7 (PVIN) | Power FET supply | High-current input for MOSFETs; accepts 1.5–5.5 V - place 47 µF ceramic capacitor within 2 mm for low-impedance path and RMS current handling. |
| 8, 9 (SW) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; experiences full VIN-to-GND swing at 550 kHz - keep trace short and wide to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| 10, 11 (PGND) | Power ground | High-current return for MOSFETs and inductor - connect directly to EP and bulk capacitor ground; separate from SGND except at star point. |
| 14 (SNS) | Voltage sense input | Monitors regulated output via 200 kΩ divider; connects to load-side of output filter - routing must avoid SW node and high-dV/dt paths to prevent regulation error. |
| EP | Exposed thermal pad | Internally tied to GND; mandatory solder connection to large PCB ground plane - accounts for >50% of thermal dissipation and improves load regulation stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Type-Three Compensation | Eliminates external compensation network - reduces BOM count by ≥3 components and removes tuning dependency on output capacitor ESR/ESL. |
| Factory-Programmed Output | Fixed 1.5 V output set during wafer test - avoids external resistor dividers, improves accuracy vs. adjustable regulators, and guarantees monotonic startup. |
| Internal 40 mΩ / 32 mΩ MOSFETs | Enables self-contained 3 A solution with no external switches - simplifies layout, reduces footprint, and ensures matched gate drive timing. |
| Split-Rail Input Architecture | Independent AVIN and PVIN pins allow 3.3 V control logic with 1.8 V power input - improves efficiency in multi-rail systems and reduces AVIN dropout stress. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | 165 °C trip with 10 °C hysteresis prevents thermal runaway - allows safe recovery after overload without manual reset or system intervention. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54332DR | 3 A, 28 V max input, adjustable output (0.8–28 V), external compensation, 600 kHz fSW, 115 mΩ/75 mΩ RDS(ON) | Wider input range and adjustable VOUT support multi-rail designs but require external resistors and compensation - increases BOM and layout complexity. | Select when input exceeds 5.5 V or output voltage flexibility is needed; not drop-in due to different pinout and compensation requirements. |
| MP2332HGRT-Z | 3 A, 4.5–28 V input, fixed 1.5 V option, 500 kHz fSW, 60 mΩ/35 mΩ RDS(ON), QFN-10 package | Higher RDS(ON) increases conduction loss; smaller QFN-10 lacks exposed pad thermal mass - requires more aggressive PCB copper for same thermal performance. | Choose for cost-sensitive, lower-power applications where 38 °C/W thermal resistance is not critical; not pin-compatible with HTSSOP-14 layout. |
Compared with TPS54332DR and MP2332HGRT-Z, the LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB offers superior thermal performance (38 °C/W vs. ≥55 °C/W), tighter factory-set 1.5 V accuracy (±1.5% vs. ±2%), and integrated compensation - making it optimal for space- and thermal-constrained 3 A point-of-load designs where fixed output suffices.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB over temperature?
The LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB has a guaranteed output voltage tolerance of ±1.5% (1.4663 V to 1.5337 V) across the full operating junction temperature range of –40 °C to 125 °C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VOUT parameter for the 1.5 V option.
Does the LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB integrates a complete type-three compensation network - eliminating the need for external capacitors or resistors in the feedback loop. This reduces component count, saves board space, and removes compensation tuning dependencies on output capacitor ESR or ESL.
How should the exposed thermal pad (EP) of the LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB be connected?
The exposed pad of the LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane using ≥9 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter) connecting to inner or bottom-layer ground planes. It is internally tied to GND but cannot serve as the primary GND connection - improper soldering degrades thermal performance and regulation stability.
Can the LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB operate with different voltages on AVIN and PVIN?
Yes, the LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB supports split-rail operation: AVIN may be supplied from 3–5.5 V (e.g., 3.3 V for control logic), while PVIN can be as low as 1.5 V (e.g., 1.8 V for power stage), provided PVIN ≤ AVIN. This configuration improves efficiency and reduces dropout stress on the control supply.
What is the recommended soft-start capacitor value for the LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB?
A 2.2 nF ceramic capacitor on the SS pin yields approximately a 3 ms startup time for the LM2853MHX-1.5/NOPB. The datasheet restricts CSS to 1–50 nF to ensure proper fault recovery - values outside this range may impair short-circuit or UVLO restart behavior.
