Product details
Overview
LM2853MHX-1.8 from Texas Instruments is a 3A, 550 kHz synchronous buck regulator in an exposed-pad HTSSOP-14 package, delivering a factory-programmed 1.8 V output with ±1.1% line regulation and 2 mV/A load regulation across −40°C to +125°C. It integrates internal 40 mΩ/32 mΩ MOSFETs, type-three compensation, and soft-start control for FPGA/DSP core power applications.
For engineers reviewing the LM2853MHX-1.8 datasheet, LM2853MHX-1.8 pinout, LM2853MHX-1.8 application, or LM2853MHX-1.8 equivalent, key selection criteria include input voltage range (3.0–5.5 V), thermal performance (θJA = 38 °C/W), shutdown current (12 µA), and compatibility with 4.7–6.8 µH inductors and 100–220 µF output capacitors per TI-recommended design guidelines.
Technical Context
The LM2853MHX-1.8 implements voltage-mode PWM control with internal 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 under split-rail operation.
Protection features include thermal shutdown at 165 °C (10 °C hysteresis), UVLO on AVIN (2.47–3.0 V threshold), and cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (3.6–5 A). The switch node protection circuitry disables switching under no-load conditions to prevent false fault triggering, resuming normal operation upon load application.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Factory-set 1.8 V ±1.1% over full temperature and line range - ensures stable core rail for low-voltage ASICs without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 3 A continuous - supports high-current digital loads such as FPGA I/O banks or DSP memory interfaces. |
| Switching Frequency | 550 kHz (325–725 kHz range) - enables compact magnetics (e.g., 4.7 µH) while maintaining >90% efficiency at mid-load for 5 V → 1.8 V conversion. |
| Input Voltage Range | AVIN: 3.0–5.5 V; PVIN: 1.5–5.5 V - allows independent optimization of control logic and power stage supplies in multi-rail systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 12 µA in shutdown - minimizes standby power in battery-backed or always-on subsystems. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 38 °C/W (MXA14A package) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal relief in space-constrained designs. |
| FET On-Resistance | P-FET: 40 mΩ typ; N-FET: 32 mΩ typ - reduces conduction loss and improves full-load efficiency vs. discrete MOSFET solutions. |
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 PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity but is not the primary GND connection.
| 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; decoupled locally with 1 µF ceramic capacitor. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable Control Input | Active-high enable with internal pullup; asserts when voltage exceeds 75% of AVIN; pulls down to disable regulator. |
| 3 (SGND) | Signal Ground Reference | Low-noise analog ground for error amplifier and sensing; routed separately from PGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 (SS) | Soft-Start Timing Node | Connects to external capacitor (1–50 nF) to control output ramp time; internal DAC charges reference for controlled startup. |
| 5 (NC) | No Connect | Must be tied to SGND; not internally connected; prevents floating node interference. |
| 6,7 (PVIN) | Power Switch Supply Input | High-current input for integrated 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 requiring short, wide trace routing and isolation from sensitive analog paths. |
| 10,11 (PGND) | Power Ground Return | High-current return path for FETs and inductor; joined to SGND at single point near IC to avoid ground bounce. |
| 12,13 (NC) | No Connect | Both pins must be tied to PGND; unused bond pads; grounding prevents EMI coupling. |
| 14 (SNS) | Output Voltage Sense Input | Monitors regulated output via internal 200 kΩ divider; connect sense trace directly to load for accurate remote sensing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Type-Three Compensation | Eliminates external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity while ensuring stability with recommended LO/CO ranges. |
| Split-Rail AVIN/PVIN Architecture | Enables independent optimization: AVIN powers control logic (3.0–5.5 V), PVIN powers power stage (1.5–5.5 V) - improves efficiency in partial-load scenarios. |
| Factory-Programmed Output | Fixed 1.8 V output set via EEPROM - removes need for external feedback resistors and avoids resistor tolerance errors in precision core rails. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Triggers at 165 °C with 10 °C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway during overload or poor heatsinking while allowing safe recovery. |
| Low Shutdown Quiescent Current | 12 µA max - extends battery life in portable systems where regulator remains powered but inactive between operational cycles. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54302DDCR | 3 A, 2.5–6 V input, adjustable output (0.6–5.5 V); requires external feedback resistors; 500 kHz fixed frequency. | Supports programmable output but adds two resistors and increases layout complexity; lower quiescent current (18 µA active). | Select when output voltage flexibility outweighs BOM simplicity and fixed 1.8 V is insufficient. |
| MP2307DN-LF-Z | 3 A, 4.5–26 V input, fixed 1.8 V output; no soft-start pin; higher RDS(on) (80/60 mΩ); θJA = 50 °C/W. | Limited to higher-input systems (>4.5 V); lacks AVIN/PVIN separation and soft-start control; less thermally efficient. | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-thermal-critical 5–12 V input applications where soft-start and split-rail operation are unnecessary. |
Compared with TPS54302DDCR and MP2307DN-LF-Z, the LM2853MHX-1.8 offers superior thermal performance (38 vs. ≥50 °C/W), integrated soft-start control, and factory-trimmed 1.8 V accuracy - making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding FPGA/DSP core rails where design simplicity and reliability are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LM2853MHX-1.8 can accept?
The LM2853MHX-1.8 accepts AVIN (control supply) from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and PVIN (power supply) from 1.5 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V on either rail violates absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage. For reliable operation, maintain AVIN ≥ PVIN and observe the 6.0 V absolute maximum limit on all pins.
Does the LM2853MHX-1.8 require external compensation components?
No, the LM2853MHX-1.8 integrates a type-three compensation network on-die. This eliminates external compensation capacitors and resistors, simplifying design and improving stability across the recommended inductor (4.7–6.8 µH) and output capacitor (100–220 µF) ranges specified in TI's datasheet.
Can the LM2853MHX-1.8 be used with a 3.3 V input to generate 1.8 V output?
Yes - the LM2853MHX-1.8 supports PVIN as low as 1.5 V, making 3.3 V → 1.8 V conversion fully valid. TI's Applications Information recommends using the 3.3 V row from Table 1 for LO/CO selection: 4.7 µH inductor and 100–220 µF capacitor with 70–120 mΩ ESR.
How is the 1.8 V output voltage set in the LM2853MHX-1.8?
The 1.8 V output is factory-programmed into on-chip EEPROM during manufacturing. No external resistors or configuration pins are required - the LM2853MHX-1.8 delivers precisely 1.8 V ±1.1% across temperature and line variations, verified per Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of SNVS459.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad on the LM2853MHX-1.8 package?
The exposed pad on the LM2853MHX-1.8 (HTSSOP-14, PWP drawing) is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane. It reduces θJA to 38 °C/W and improves regulation stability - TI's Layout Guidelines specify full-pad soldering for optimal thermal and electrical performance.
