FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LMR10520 regulator is a monolithic, high
Input Voltage Range of 3V to 5.5V
frequency, PWM step-down DC/DC converter in a 6
Output Voltage Range of 0.6V to 4.5V
Pin WSON package. It provides all the active
Output Current up to 2A
functions to provide local DC/DC conversion with fast
transient response and accurate regulation in the
1.6MHz (LMR10520X) and 3 MHz (LMR10520Y)
smallest possible PCB area. With a minimum of
