AN-1397 LM2852X Demonstration Board
1
Introduction
This document describes the demonstration board for the LM2852X. The LM2852 is a 2A buck regulator
belonging to Texas Instruments Simple Synchronous™ family. The LM2852 input voltage can range from
2.85 V to 5.5 V. Output voltages are factory set from 0.8 V to 3.3 V in 100mV increments. On-chip typethree compensation facilitates simple, low component count power supply design. Two frequency versions
of the LM2852 are available: 500 kHz (LM2852Y) and 1500 kHz (LM2852X). The demonstration board for
the LM2852X (1500 kHz version) is described in this document. A separate application note describes the
LM2852Y. For detailed information regarding component selection, consult the device-specific data sheet.

VIN, GND and VOUT
Three solder terminals are provided for connections to VIN, GND and VOUT. The input voltage to the
LM2852 is connected to two PVIN pins and an AVIN pin. PVIN is the supply connected to the output
power switches; AVIN powers the controller logic of the regulator. The demonstration board includes
filtering of the AVIN voltage using components RF and CF. The back side plane of the board is connected
to ground through the solder terminal via as well as vias underneath the exposed DAP of the LM2852.
3
Enable (EN)
The LM2852 enable pin is internally pulled up through a large resistance. The demonstration board
includes a via connected to the EN line to facilitate soldering a jumper wire if application of an enable
signal is desired.
4
CIN and CINX
The demonstration board provides two capacitor footprints for the input capacitance. The larger footprint
holds the bulk of the capacitance, for example 47 µF. Additional high frequency filtering may also be
accomplished by adding a smaller capacitor – CINX. A 1 µF or 100 nF capacitor is commonly used for high
frequency filtering.
5
CSS
The soft-start capacitor is used to control the startup behavior of the switching regulator. A 2.7 nF
capacitor yields approximately a 3 ms startup time.
6
Output Filter - L, and CO
Since the LM2852 uses on-chip compensation, the output filter component values must be restricted to a
certain range. The LM2852X is designed for ceramic output capacitors with ESR values below 10 mΩ.
The recommended inductance and capacitance for standard input and output voltages are 1 µH and 10
µF.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and

No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
