Product details
Overview
LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB from Texas Instruments (formerly National Semiconductor) is a regulated switched-capacitor buck-boost DC/DC converter delivering 2.5 V ±3% output with up to 200 mA load current from 2.5 V–5.5 V input. It uses proprietary dual-loop digital control to auto-select optimal gain configuration and operates at 1 MHz typical switching frequency. Ideal for powering low-voltage logic in single-cell Li-ion portable systems.
For engineers reviewing the LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB datasheet, LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB pinout, LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB application, or LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±3% output accuracy, 400 µA typical operating current, 2.5 µA shutdown current, TSSOP-16 package footprint, and buck-boost capability without inductors.
Technical Context
The LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB implements a digitally controlled, dual-loop switched-capacitor architecture: one analog comparator loop gates charge transfer to maintain regulation, while a second digital control block selects among seven discrete gain configurations to maximize efficiency across input/output conditions. This eliminates external inductors and enables seamless transition between buck and boost modes.
Its internal phase generator drives a switch array configured for charge-pump operation using three 0.33 µF ceramic flying capacitors (C1–C3), with dedicated CFIL filtering (1 µF X7R) for internal rail stability. Over-temperature protection disables switching above 150°C junction temperature and auto-recovers upon cooling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.5 V ±3% - tightly regulated for noise-sensitive 2.5 V logic rails (e.g., ADC references, low-voltage microcontrollers) |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V), NiMH (0.9–1.4 V × 3), or 3.3 V/5 V system rails |
| Max Output Current | 200 mA - sufficient for powering multiple low-power peripherals (e.g., sensors, RF transceivers, display drivers) |
| Avg Efficiency | >80% - reduces thermal load and extends battery runtime in portable devices |
| Operating Quiescent Current | 400 µA typical - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems |
| Shutdown Current | 2.5 µA typical - enables deep-sleep modes with negligible battery drain |
| Switching Frequency | 1 MHz typical - allows use of small, low-ESR ceramic capacitors and simplifies EMI filtering |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package (NS Package Number MTC16), 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm × 1.1 mm max height, exposed pad not present. All GND pins (1, 9, 12, 14, 16) must be connected to a common ground plane for thermal and noise performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9, 12, 14, 16 | GND | Power and signal ground reference; all five pins must be shorted on PCB for stable regulation and thermal dissipation |
| 2, 4, 6 | C3− / C2− / C1− | Negative terminals for flying capacitors; connect to corresponding C+ pins via 0.33 µF X7R ceramics |
| 3, 5, 7 | C3+ / C2+ / C1+ | Positive terminals for flying capacitors; form charge-transfer network enabling buck/boost operation |
| 8 | VOUT | Regulated 2.5 V output; requires ≥33 µF output capacitor (tantalum/ceramic/polymer) for ripple control |
| 10 | VIN | Main input supply (2.5–5.5 V); decoupled by 15 µF input capacitor to suppress ripple and transient spikes |
| 11 | NC | No-connect pin; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid malfunction |
| 13 | SD | Active-low CMOS shutdown input; pulls <0.2×VIN to disable regulator and reduce quiescent current to 2.5 µA |
| 15 | CFIL | Internal supply filter node; requires 1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor to stabilize internal bias rails and reduce noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-loop digital regulation | Combines analog comparator feedback with digital gain selection to maintain ±3% VOUT accuracy across 2.5–5.5 V VIN and 1–200 mA loads |
| Inductorless buck-boost topology | Uses only ceramic flying capacitors (C1–C3) - eliminates magnetic components, reduces BOM cost and board area |
| Low-noise 1 MHz operation | Enables compact 0.33 µF flying caps and 1 µF CFIL filter, minimizing conducted EMI and easing layout in space-constrained handhelds |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Disables switching above 150°C TJ and auto-resumes when cooled - prevents damage during overload or poor heatsinking |
| Rail-compatible shutdown interface | CMOS-level SD pin accepts 0 V (shutdown) or >0.8×VIN (active) - directly driven by microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting |

FAQ
What is the guaranteed output voltage accuracy of the LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB across temperature and load?
The LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB guarantees ±3% output voltage accuracy over the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and load current (1 mA to 100 mA) when VIN is between 2.8 V and 5.5 V. At 200 mA load and VIN = 4.0 V, the typical output remains within 2.425 V–2.575 V - confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
Can the LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB operate from a single 1.5 V alkaline cell?
No, the LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB requires a minimum input voltage of 2.5 V and cannot start or regulate from a single 1.5 V alkaline cell. It is designed for 2-cell alkaline (3.0 V), NiMH (2.4 V min), or single-cell Li-ion (2.7–4.2 V) sources. For 1.5 V inputs, consider TI's TPS60110 or similar ultra-low-VIN charge pumps.
What is the recommended flying capacitor value and dielectric for the LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB?
The LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB requires three 0.33 µF flying capacitors (C1, C2, C3) with X7R dielectric. X7R ensures stable capacitance across temperature (±15% from −55°C to +125°C) and low voltage coefficient - critical for consistent charge transfer and regulation accuracy. Ceramic types like AVX or Taiyo Yuden are validated per datasheet Table 2.
Does the LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB require an external resistor divider to set output voltage?
No, the LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB is a fixed-output device - the "-2.5" suffix denotes factory-trimmed 2.5 V regulation. Unlike adjustable regulators, it contains internal precision voltage reference and feedback network; no external resistors are needed or supported for VOUT adjustment.
How does thermal protection behave during sustained short-circuit on the VOUT pin of the LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB?
Under VOUT short-circuit, the LM3352MTC-2.5/NOPB draws high current until junction temperature exceeds 150°C, triggering thermal shutdown. The device halts switching and holds VOUT near 0 V. Once TJ falls below ~135°C (typical hysteresis), regulation automatically resumes - no manual reset or power cycle is required.
