easy to use. The ability to drive 1.5A loads with an
internal 130 m PMOS switch results in the best
SOT-23 (2.92 x 2.84 x 1 mm) and WSON
power density available. The world-class control

to the minimum output voltage of 0.6V. The
LMR10515 is internally compensated, so it is simple

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.
