Product details
Overview
LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3-A, 550-kHz synchronous buck regulator with factory-programmed 2.5 V output, 40 mΩ high-side and 32 mΩ low-side MOSFETs, voltage-mode control, and internal type-three compensation. It operates from 3 V to 5.5 V input and delivers precise point-of-load power for FPGA core rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB application, or LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its fixed 2.5 V output, HTSSOP-14 thermal performance, soft-start programmability via external capacitor, and compatibility with standard ceramic output capacitors in the 120–220 µF range.
Technical Context
The LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB implements voltage-mode PWM control with integrated high- and low-side MOSFETs (RDS(ON) = 40 mΩ / 32 mΩ), enabling efficient 3 A continuous operation at 550 kHz switching frequency. Its internal type-three compensation eliminates external compensation components and ensures stability with recommended inductor (4.7–6.8 µH) and output capacitor (120–220 µF, 70–150 mΩ ESR) ranges.
It supports split-rail operation (AVIN ≥ PVIN), features 12 µA shutdown current, 2.47 V UVLO threshold with 50–260 mV hysteresis, and thermal shutdown at 165 °C with 10 °C hysteresis. The device uses dedicated AVIN (control logic supply) and PVIN (power FET supply) inputs, with separate SGND and PGND pins for noise isolation.

Pinout & Package
LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB is housed in a thermally enhanced 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed pad internally connected to GND - requires soldering to external ground plane for optimal thermal and electrical performance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54328DDAR | 3 A, 2.95–6 V input, adjustable output (0.8–4.5 V); no factory-set 2.5 V option; requires external feedback resistors | Requires layout changes for feedback network; lacks integrated soft-start capacitor timing resistor | Select when adjustable output or wider input range is needed; verify loop stability with chosen output cap ESR |
| MP2315DJ-LF-Z | 3 A, 4.5–26 V input, fixed 2.5 V output; higher minimum input (4.5 V) and larger SOIC-8 package (no exposed pad) | Not suitable for 3–3.6 V input systems; thermal resistance ~65°C/W limits 3 A operation without airflow | Choose only for higher-input industrial rails where board space permits larger footprint and thermal derating is acceptable |
Compared with LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB, TPS54328DDAR offers flexibility at the cost of added components and tuning effort, while MP2315DJ-LF-Z trades input voltage range and thermal performance for simpler procurement - neither matches the LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB's combination of fixed 2.5 V accuracy, 3 V input support, and HTSSOP thermal efficiency.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB over temperature?
The LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB maintains a 2.5 V output with ±2.5% tolerance (2.4437 V to 2.5563 V) across the full operating junction temperature range of –40°C to +125°C, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under VOUT for the 2.5 V option.
Does the LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, the LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB integrates a complete type-three compensation network, eliminating the need for external capacitors or resistors in the feedback loop. This simplifies design and ensures stability when used with recommended output filter components (e.g., 4.7–6.8 µH inductor and 120–220 µF output capacitor).
Can the LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB operate with separate AVIN and PVIN supplies?
Yes, the LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB supports split-rail operation: AVIN powers the control circuitry (3–5.5 V), while PVIN supplies the power switches (1.5–5.5 V). PVIN must not exceed AVIN, and output filter component selection should be based on the PVIN value used in the design.
What is the recommended soft-start capacitor value for the LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB?
A 2.2 nF ceramic capacitor on the SS pin yields approximately a 3 ms startup time for the LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB. The device supports soft-start capacitors from 1 nF to 50 nF; values outside this range may cause fault recovery issues or unstable startup behavior.
How is thermal performance managed in the LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB package?
The LM2853MHX-2.5/NOPB uses an HTSSOP-14 (PWP) package with an exposed pad internally connected to PGND. For optimal thermal performance, the exposed pad must be soldered to a ≥200 mm² external PCB ground plane, achieving a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of 38°C/W and enabling full 3 A operation at 70°C ambient without forced airflow.
