Product details
Overview
LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 3-A, 550-kHz synchronous buck regulator with factory-programmed 3.3 V output, 3 V to 5.5 V input range, internal 40 mΩ/32 mΩ MOSFETs, and voltage-mode control-designed for FPGA core power in telecom infrastructure.
For engineers reviewing the LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB datasheet, LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB pinout, LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB application, or LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include output voltage accuracy (±0.6% at TJ = –40°C to 125°C), thermal performance (RθJA = 38°C/W), soft-start programmability via external capacitor, and HTSSOP-14 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB implements voltage-mode PWM control with integrated type-three compensation, eliminating external compensation components. Its dual-rail capability allows independent AVIN (3–5.5 V) and PVIN (1.5–5.5 V) supplies, enabling optimized logic and power stage biasing.
Internal protection includes thermal shutdown (165°C, 10°C hysteresis), current-limit threshold (3.6–5 A), and UVLO on AVIN (2.47–3.0 V rising edge). The device achieves up to 94% efficiency at 3 A load with 5 V input and 3.3 V output, per Figure 5 in the datasheet.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Factory-set 3.3 V ±0.6% over –40°C to 125°C - ensures stable core rail for FPGA I/O banks without external feedback resistors. |
| Max Output Current | 3 A continuous - supports mid-range FPGA or DSP core loads without derating at 25°C ambient. |
| Switching Frequency | 550 kHz (325–725 kHz range) - enables compact 4.7–6.8 µH inductors and reduces EMI compared to 2.2 MHz alternatives. |
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 5.5 V on AVIN; 1.5 V to 5.5 V on PVIN - supports split-rail operation for improved efficiency in mixed-voltage systems. |
| RDS(ON) | 40 mΩ (PFET) / 32 mΩ (NFET) - minimizes conduction loss at full load, contributing to >90% efficiency at 2 A. |
| Quiescent Current | 12 µA in shutdown - enables low-power standby modes in always-on networking equipment. |
| Soft-Start Control | External capacitor (1–50 nF) on SS pin - provides adjustable startup time (e.g., 3 ms with 2.2 nF) to prevent inrush current faults. |
Pinout & Package
LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB uses a 14-pin HTSSOP (PWP) package (5.00 mm × 4.40 mm) with exposed thermal pad soldered to PCB ground plane for enhanced thermal dissipation (RθJA = 38°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (AVIN) | Control circuit supply | Bias voltage for internal logic and error amplifier; must be ≥3 V for guaranteed operation. |
| 2 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high enable with internal 1.5 µA pullup; drives high to activate regulator, low to enter 12 µA shutdown. |
| 3 (SGND) | Signal ground | Low-noise reference for feedback and control circuits; separate from PGND to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 (SS) | Soft-start node | Connects to external capacitor to control output ramp rate; also used by fault recovery circuitry during short-circuit events. |
| 5, 12, 13 (NC) | No-connect | Must be tied to ground per datasheet; not internally connected but required for thermal and mechanical stability. |
| 6, 7 (PVIN) | Power FET supply | High-current input for internal MOSFETs; accepts lower voltage than AVIN (down to 1.5 V) in split-rail configurations. |
| 8, 9 (SW) | Switch node | Drives external inductor; exhibits fast dV/dt transitions requiring short, wide trace routing to minimize EMI. |
| 10, 11 (PGND) | Power ground | Return path for high-switching currents; must be joined to SGND at single point near IC for optimal noise isolation. |
| 14 (SNS) | Voltage sense input | Monitors regulated output via 200 kΩ resistor divider; requires Kelvin connection near load for <1% regulation error. |
| EP (Exposed Pad) | Thermal & ground connection | Internally connected to GND but not primary return path; must be soldered to large PCB ground plane for thermal relief. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated Type-Three Compensation | Eliminates external compensation network - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity while maintaining >45° phase margin across recommended LO/CO ranges. |
| Factory-Programmed Output | Fixed 3.3 V output set at wafer level - removes need for external feedback resistors and avoids trimming errors in production. |
| Split-Rail Input Architecture | Independent AVIN and PVIN supplies - allows use of lower-voltage PVIN (e.g., 3.3 V) to reduce switching losses while maintaining 5 V AVIN for robust control logic. |
| Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis | 165°C trip with 10°C hysteresis - prevents thermal runaway during overload while enabling automatic recovery after cooling. |
| Low-Noise Signal Ground (SGND) | Dedicated ground pin isolated from power return - preserves ADC reference integrity and analog subsystem accuracy in mixed-signal designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS54331DR | 3 A, 28 V max input, adjustable output (0.8–28 V) via external resistors; no factory-programmed fixed options. | Requires external feedback network and compensation - increases BOM count and design validation effort. | Select when output voltage flexibility or higher input voltage (>5.5 V) is required; not drop-in for LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB. |
| MP2333HG-33-P | 3 A, 5.5 V max input, fixed 3.3 V output; 1.2 MHz switching frequency; smaller QFN-10 package (3 mm × 3 mm). | Higher frequency enables smaller magnetics but increases switching loss and EMI filtering complexity. | Select when board area is critical and thermal budget allows higher RθJA (65°C/W); not pin-compatible with HTSSOP-14 footprint. |
Compared with TPS54331DR and MP2333HG-33-P, LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB offers lowest system-level design effort for fixed 3.3 V applications due to zero-resistor configuration, integrated compensation, and proven thermal performance in HTSSOP-14 - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-volume telecom and industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB over temperature?
The LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB guarantees output voltage within ±0.6% (3.2257 V to 3.3743 V) across the full operating junction temperature range of –40°C to 125°C, as specified in Section 6.5 of the datasheet under "VOUT = 3.3 V option" test conditions.
Does LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB integrates a complete type-three compensation network on-die. This eliminates external capacitors and resistors typically needed for loop stability, simplifying design and improving consistency across production units.
Can LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB operate with different voltages on AVIN and PVIN pins?
Yes, LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB supports split-rail operation: AVIN may be set to 5 V for robust control logic while PVIN is supplied at 3.3 V to reduce conduction losses in the internal MOSFETs - provided PVIN ≤ AVIN and both remain within their respective absolute maximum ratings.
What is the recommended soft-start capacitor value for LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB?
A 2.2 nF ceramic capacitor on the SS pin yields approximately 3 ms startup time, as calculated using the internal 450 kΩ DAC resistor (RC = 1 ms × 3 time constants). Values between 1 nF and 50 nF are supported, with 2.2 nF being the reference design value shown in Table 4.
How does the exposed thermal pad on LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB improve performance?
The exposed pad on LM2853MHX-3.3/NOPB must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve the rated RθJA of 38°C/W. Lab measurements confirm this improves both thermal performance (reducing junction temperature rise by ~15°C at 3 A) and regulation accuracy by stabilizing internal reference behavior.
