3 Description
The LMR10515 regulator is a monolithic, high
frequency, PWM step-down DC/DC converter in a 5-
pin SOT-23 and a 6-pin WSON package. It provides
all the active functions to provide local DC/DC
conversion with fast transient response and accurate
regulation in the smallest possible PCB area. With a
minimum of external components, the LMR10515 is
easy to use. The ability to drive 1.5-A loads with an
internal 130-mΩPMOS switch results in the best
power density available. The world-class control
circuitry allows on-times as low as 30ns, thus
supporting exceptionally high frequency conversion
over the entire 3-V to 5.5-V input operating range
down to the minimum output voltage of 0.6 V. The
LMR10515 is internally compensated, so it is simple
to use and requires few external components.
Switching frequency is internally set to 1.6 MHz, or 3
MHz, allowing the use of extremely small surface
mount inductors and chip capacitors. Even though the
operating frequency is high, efficiencies up to 93%
are easy to achieve. External shutdown is included,
featuring an ultra-low stand-by current of 30 nA. The
LMR10515 utilizes current-mode control and internal
compensation to provide high-performance regulation
over a wide range of operating conditions. Additional
features include internal soft-start circuitry to reduce
inrush current, pulse-by-pulse current limit, thermal
shutdown, and output over-voltage protection.
