Product details
Overview
LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3-A, 550-kHz synchronous buck regulator in HTSSOP-14 (PWP) package, delivering factory-programmed 1.8 V output from 3–5.5 V input with ±1.1% line regulation, 40 mΩ high-side and 32 mΩ low-side MOSFETs, and internal type-three compensation. It serves as a point-of-load power supply for FPGA core rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB datasheet, LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB pinout, LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB application, or LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, thermal performance data, soft-start configuration guidance, and real-world layout constraints for stable 1.8 V/3 A DC-DC conversion in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
The LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB implements voltage-mode control with integrated PWM controller, dual MOSFET power switches, and on-chip type-three compensation-eliminating external compensation components. Its 550 kHz fixed switching frequency enables compact filter design using 4.7–6.8 µH inductors and 100–220 µF output capacitors with 70–120 mΩ ESR.
Split-rail operation is supported: AVIN powers control circuitry (3–5.5 V), while PVIN supplies power stage (1.5–5.5 V); PVIN must not exceed AVIN. Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis, and the exposed pad (EP) is internally tied to GND but requires external soldering to a ground plane for optimal thermal resistance (RθJA = 38°C/W).

Pinout & Package
LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB uses a 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package with 5.00 mm × 4.40 mm body size and exposed thermal pad (EP). The EP is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to an external ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AVIN) | Control Circuit Supply | Provides regulated 3–5.5 V bias for internal logic; separate from power rail |
| 2 (EN) | Enable Input | Active-high enable; internally pulled up - device powers on by default unless pulled low |
| 3 (SGND) | Signal Ground | Low-noise reference for feedback and control circuits; must be isolated from power ground at PCB level |

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB?
A 47 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed close to the PVIN pins is recommended for LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB, supplemented by a 1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor near the AVIN pin. This combination handles high RMS ripple current and filters both low- and high-frequency noise, ensuring stable operation under 3 A load transients. The LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB datasheet specifies these values based on thermal and ESR requirements.
Does LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB integrates a complete type-three compensation network, eliminating the need for external resistors or capacitors in the feedback loop. This simplifies design, improves reliability, and guarantees stability when used with recommended inductor (4.7–6.8 µH) and output capacitor (100–220 µF, 70–120 mΩ ESR) values per the LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB datasheet.
Can LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB operate with separate AVIN and PVIN supplies?
Yes, LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB supports split-rail operation: AVIN (3–5.5 V) powers control circuitry, while PVIN (1.5–5.5 V) supplies the power stage. PVIN must not exceed AVIN. This architecture allows efficient use of intermediate rails and reduces heat generation in the control section - a confirmed capability of LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB per its functional description and recommended operating conditions.
What is the purpose of the exposed pad (EP) on LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB?
The exposed pad (EP) on LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB is internally connected to GND and serves dual thermal and electrical functions. It must be soldered to a large PCB ground plane to achieve the specified 38°C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and maintain stable 3 A operation. Lab measurements confirm improved regulation performance when the EP is properly grounded - a requirement explicitly stated for LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB in its mechanical documentation.
How is the soft-start time configured for LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB?
The soft-start time for LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB is set by an external capacitor (CSS) connected to the SS pin, with recommended values between 1 nF and 50 nF. The internal DAC resistor is 450 kΩ, so a 2.2 nF capacitor yields ~3 ms startup (3 × RC). This configuration prevents inrush current and ensures graceful recovery after fault conditions - a behavior validated in LM2853MHX-1.8/NOPB's application notes and typical characteristics.
