Product details
Overview
LM2853MHX-3.3 from Texas Instruments is a 3A, 550 kHz synchronous buck regulator in an exposed-pad HTSSOP-14 package, delivering a factory-programmed 3.3V output from 3.0–5.5V input. It integrates internal 40 mΩ PFET and 32 mΩ NFET switches, type-three compensation, and supports point-of-load regulation for FPGA/DSP core supplies with ±0.743% output voltage tolerance at 3.3V.
For engineers reviewing the LM2853MHX-3.3 datasheet, LM2853MHX-3.3 pinout, LM2853MHX-3.3 application, or LM2853MHX-3.3 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, thermal-aware package details, soft-start configuration guidance, and validated alternative options for industrial and communications power designs.
Technical Context
The LM2853MHX-3.3 uses voltage-mode control with internal type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its 550 kHz fixed switching frequency enables compact filter design while maintaining >90% efficiency at 3A load (VIN = 5V, VOUT = 3.3V).
It features dual-input architecture: AVIN (3.0–5.5V) powers control circuitry, while PVIN (1.5–5.5V) supplies power FETs. Thermal shutdown activates at 165°C with 10°C hysteresis, and the exposed pad must be soldered to a ground plane for junction-to-ambient θJA = 38°C/W.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Factory-set 3.3V ±0.743% (3.2257V to 3.3743V), no external feedback required |
| Max Output Current | 3A continuous; peak current limit threshold is 3.6–5A, preventing overcurrent damage |
| Input Voltage Range | AVIN: 3.0–5.5V (control logic); PVIN: 1.5–5.5V (power stage); split-rail operation supported |
| Switching Frequency | 550 kHz (typical), with ±39% variation (325–725 kHz) across temperature and supply |
| FET On Resistance | PFET RDS(ON): 40–120 mΩ; NFET RDS(ON): 32–100 mΩ at 3A - directly impacts conduction loss and thermal rise |
| Soft-Start Time | Configurable via external CSS capacitor (1–50 nF); 2.2 nF yields ~3 ms startup to 95% of final output |
| Quiescent Current | 12 µA in shutdown (EN = 0V); 0.85–2 mA operating current - critical for battery-backed systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: HTSSOP-14 with exposed thermal pad (TI package drawing PWP, JEDEC MO-153 variant MXA14A). The exposed pad is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to an external ground plane for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AVIN) | Control circuit supply input | Powers internal bias, reference, and error amplifier; must be ≥3.0V and ≤5.5V |
| 2 (EN) | Enable control input | Internally pulled up; drives high (>75% AVIN) to enable, low (<25% AVIN) to disable |
| 3 (SGND) | Low-noise analog ground | Reference ground for feedback and control circuitry; separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling |
| 4 (SS) | Soft-start voltage node | Charged by internal DAC; external capacitor sets startup ramp rate and fault recovery behavior |
| 5,12,13 (NC) | No-connect terminals | Must be tied to SGND or PGND per layout guidelines; not floating |
| 6,7 (PVIN) | Power switch supply input | Supplies high-current PFET/NFET; requires low-impedance path to bulk input capacitor |
| 8,9 (SW) | Switch node | Connects to output inductor; carries high di/dt; requires short, wide trace to minimize EMI and losses |
| 10,11 (PGND) | Power ground return | High-current return path for PFET/NFET; must tie to SGND at single point near IC |
| 14 (SNS) | Output voltage sense input | Monitors regulated output via internal 200 kΩ divider; connect directly to load for accurate remote sensing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Type-Three Compensation | Eliminates external compensation network, reducing BOM count and layout sensitivity while ensuring stability with recommended LO/CO ranges |
| Internal 40 mΩ PFET + 32 mΩ NFET | Reduces conduction loss and thermal stress; enables 3A operation without external MOSFETs or drivers |
| Split-Rail Input Architecture | Allows independent AVIN (control) and PVIN (power) supplies - e.g., 3.3V AVIN + 5V PVIN - improving efficiency in multi-rail systems |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | Shuts down at 165°C and restarts at 155°C, preventing thermal runaway during overload or poor heatsinking |
| Low Shutdown Quiescent Current | 12 µA max shutdown current enables use in always-on, energy-sensitive applications like IoT edge nodes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54332DR | 3A, 1 MHz sync buck; adjustable output (0.8–6V); requires external feedback resistors | Higher frequency allows smaller magnetics but increases switching loss at 3.3V/3A | Choose when adjustable output or higher switching frequency is needed; not pin-compatible |
| LMZ12003TZX-3.3 | 3A integrated power module in 12-pin TO-PMOD; includes inductor; 4.5–20V input | Wider input range and built-in magnetics simplify design but increase footprint and cost | Choose for rapid prototyping or space-constrained layouts where board area > BOM cost priority |
Compared with TPS54332DR and LMZ12003TZX-3.3, the LM2853MHX-3.3 offers factory-trimmed 3.3V output with zero external feedback components, lower quiescent current in shutdown, and optimized thermal performance in HTSSOP-14 - making it ideal for cost-sensitive, thermally constrained fixed-output applications.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LM2853MHX-3.3?
The LM2853MHX-3.3 has a guaranteed output voltage tolerance of ±0.743% (3.2257V to 3.3743V) over temperature and line conditions. This specification is measured at the SNS pin in non-switching, closed-loop configuration and reflects factory EEPROM programming accuracy - no external resistors affect this value.
Can the LM2853MHX-3.3 operate with different input voltages for control and power stages?
Yes, the LM2853MHX-3.3 supports split-rail operation: AVIN (3.0–5.5V) powers the control logic, while PVIN (1.5–5.5V) supplies the power FETs. PVIN must be ≤ AVIN. This allows optimization - e.g., 3.3V AVIN for low-control-loss and 5V PVIN for higher efficiency at 3.3V output.
What is the recommended soft-start capacitor value for the LM2853MHX-3.3?
A 2.2 nF ceramic capacitor on the SS pin yields ~3 ms startup time to 95% of final output. The LM2853MHX-3.3 restricts CSS to 1–50 nF to ensure controlled start-up and graceful fault recovery; values outside this range may cause instability or improper short-circuit restart behavior.
How does the exposed thermal pad on the LM2853MHX-3.3 affect thermal performance?
The exposed pad on the LM2853MHX-3.3 is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a dedicated PCB ground plane. Proper soldering reduces junction-to-ambient thermal resistance to 38°C/W (θJA), enabling full 3A operation at +125°C ambient - omitting this step degrades thermal performance by >40%.
Does the LM2853MHX-3.3 require external compensation components?
No, the LM2853MHX-3.3 integrates a complete type-three compensation network. This eliminates external capacitors and resistors, simplifying design and improving reliability. Stability is ensured only when using inductors (4.7–6.8 µH) and output capacitors (120–220 µF, 70–150 mΩ ESR) within the ranges specified in Table 1 of the datasheet.
