Product details
Overview
LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3A, 550 kHz synchronous buck regulator in an exposed-pad HTSSOP-14 package, designed for point-of-load DC/DC conversion with factory-set 3.0V output. It operates from 3.0V–5.5V input, delivers ±0.675% output voltage tolerance at 3.0V, features internal type-three compensation, and integrates 40 mΩ high-side and 32 mΩ low-side MOSFETs for high-efficiency power delivery in FPGA/DSP core rails.
For engineers reviewing the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB datasheet, LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB pinout, LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB application, or LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and electrical specifications, and real-world design guidance for stable 3.0V core supply implementation.
Technical Context
The LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB employs voltage-mode PWM control with fixed 550 kHz switching frequency and internal type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its dual-rail architecture separates AVIN (3.0V–5.5V control logic supply) from PVIN (1.5V–5.5V power FET supply), enabling optimized efficiency in split-rail systems.
It integrates matched 40 mΩ PFET and 32 mΩ NFET power switches, supports soft-start via external capacitor (1–50 nF), and includes thermal shutdown (165°C) with 10°C hysteresis, UVLO (2.47V rising threshold), and peak current limiting (3.6–5 A). Standby current is 12 µA in shutdown mode.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Factory-programmed 3.0V ±0.675% (2.9325V–3.0675V), no external feedback required |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous load capability with integrated MOSFETs; peak inductor current must stay below 5A limit |
| Switching Frequency | 550 kHz nominal (325–725 kHz range); enables compact magnetics and predictable EMI profile |
| Input Voltage Range | AVIN: 3.0V–5.5V; PVIN: 1.5V–5.5V - supports flexible rail partitioning and low-VIN operation |
| Quiescent Current | 12 µA shutdown current; 0.85–2 mA operating current - critical for battery-backed or always-on systems |

| Protection Features | UVLO (2.47V), thermal shutdown (165°C +10°C hysteresis), peak current limit (3.6–5A) |
Pinout & Package
LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB uses the HTSSOP-14 (PWP) package with exposed thermal pad (EP), rated for −40°C to +125°C junction temperature and compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (MSL Level-1).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AVIN) | Control Logic Supply Input | Provides regulated 3.0–5.5V to internal bias circuitry; must be decoupled locally with 1 µF ceramic |
| 2 (EN) | Enable Control Input | Active-high enable; internally pulled up - device powers on by default unless pulled low |
| 3 (SGND) | Analog Ground Reference | Low-noise ground return for error amplifier and sensing; separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling |
| 4 (SS) | Soft-Start Timing Node | Connects to external capacitor (1–50 nF) to control output ramp time; also used for fault recovery tracking |
| 5 (NC) | No Connect | Must be tied to SGND; not internally connected |
| 6,7 (PVIN) | Power Switch Supply Input | High-current input for internal MOSFETs; requires low-ESR bulk capacitor placed adjacent to pins |
| 8,9 (SW) | Power Switch Node | Drives external inductor; high dV/dt node - keep trace short and wide to minimize EMI and losses |
| 10,11 (PGND) | Power Ground Return | High-current return path for MOSFETs and inductor; must connect directly to thermal pad and low-impedance ground plane |
| 12,13 (NC) | No Connect | Must be tied to PGND; not internally connected |
| 14 (SNS) | Output Voltage Sense Input | High-impedance feedback node - route as Kelvin sense directly to load for accurate regulation |
| EP (Exposed Pad) | Thermal & Electrical Ground | Internally connected to GND but not primary current path; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Power Stage | 40 mΩ PFET + 32 mΩ NFET enable >90% efficiency at 3A/3.0V out from 5V input without external drivers |

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 (0.8–6V) via external resistors; no factory-set 3.0V option | Requires external feedback divider and compensation; higher BOM count but greater flexibility | Choose when output voltage may need revision or multiple voltages are required on same PCB |
| MP2333HG-30 | 3A, 500 kHz, fixed 3.0V output; smaller 8-pin SOIC-EP package; lower thermal resistance (θJA = 30°C/W) | Lacks split-rail AVIN/PVIN; no soft-start pin - uses internal fixed soft-start | Choose when board space is constrained and split-rail operation is unnecessary |
Compared with TPS54331DR and MP2333HG-30, LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB uniquely combines factory-trimmed 3.0V output, AVIN/PVIN separation for rail optimization, and accessible soft-start control - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained FPGA/DSP core supplies where fixed voltage and layout simplicity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB?
The LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB has a guaranteed output voltage tolerance of ±0.675% over temperature and line conditions, corresponding to 2.9325V to 3.0675V at 3.0V nominal. This tight tolerance is factory-trimmed and does not require external feedback components - a key advantage of the MHX-3.0 variant over adjustable alternatives like the LM2853MH-ADJ.
Can the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB operate with different input voltages for control and power stages?
Yes, the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB supports split-rail operation: AVIN (pin 1) supplies the control circuitry at 3.0V–5.5V, while PVIN (pins 6–7) supplies the power FETs at 1.5V–5.5V. This allows independent optimization - for example, using 3.3V for AVIN and 5V for PVIN - improving efficiency and reducing heat generation in the control section of the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB.
What is the purpose of the SNS pin on the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB?
The SNS (Sense) pin on the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB is a high-impedance feedback input that monitors output voltage via an internal 200 kΩ resistor divider. It enables precise regulation by allowing Kelvin sensing - routing the SNS trace directly to the load minimizes IR drop errors and ensures the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB maintains ±0.675% accuracy at the point of use, not just at the regulator output pad.
How does the soft-start function work on the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB?
The LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB implements soft-start via an internal DAC that charges the SS pin (pin 4) through a 450 kΩ resistor. An external capacitor (1–50 nF) sets the ramp time - e.g., 2.2 nF yields ~3 ms to 95% of final output. During faults like short-circuit, the SS voltage tracks the output to enable graceful restart, ensuring the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB resumes regulation smoothly after fault clearance.
Is the exposed thermal pad on the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB electrically connected?
Yes, the exposed pad (EP) on the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB is internally connected to ground and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane. While it cannot serve as the primary GND current path, proper soldering reduces θJA to 38°C/W and improves both thermal performance and regulation accuracy - lab data confirms tighter load regulation when the EP is fully thermally coupled in the LM2853MHX-3.0/NOPB layout.
