Product details
Overview
LMR10515YSDE/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a monolithic, current-mode PWM step-down DC/DC regulator in a 6-pin WSON package (3.0 × 3.0 × 0.8 mm), delivering up to 1.5 A output current with 0.6 V to 4.5 V adjustable output voltage, 3 MHz fixed switching frequency, and 30 nA shutdown quiescent current - designed for space-constrained point-of-load conversion from 3.3-V or 5-V rails.
For engineers reviewing the LMR10515YSDE/NOPB datasheet, LMR10515YSDE/NOPB pinout, LMR10515YSDE/NOPB application, or LMR10515YSDE/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3-MHz high-frequency operation enabling ultra-compact magnetics, internal compensation reducing external component count, and thermal shutdown + overvoltage protection for robust industrial and portable power delivery.
Technical Context
The LMR10515YSDE/NOPB implements current-mode PWM control with an internally compensated error amplifier and fixed 3 MHz oscillator, supporting minimum on-times down to 30 ns for stable regulation at low duty cycles (e.g., 1.8 V out from 5 V in). Its integrated 150 mΩ PMOS switch enables high power density while maintaining ≥93% peak efficiency across load and temperature.
It features cycle-by-cycle current limiting (2.5 A typical), undervoltage lockout with 430 mV hysteresis (2.73 V rising, 2.3 V falling), soft-start with 600 µs ramp, and output overvoltage protection triggered at FB = 1.15 × VREF (0.69 V). The WSON package includes separate VINA (control supply) and VIND (power input) pins for improved noise immunity and layout flexibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 5.5 V - supports direct regulation from standard 3.3-V and 5-V system rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.6 V to 4.5 V - set via external resistor divider; enables core voltage scaling for microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Max Output Current | 1.5 A - sufficient for powering SoCs, sensors, and interface ICs in compact embedded systems. |
| Switching Frequency | 3 MHz - allows use of ≤1 µH inductors and 22 µF ceramic capacitors, minimizing solution footprint. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.600 V ±12 mV - high-accuracy reference enables tight output regulation (±2%) over line, load, and temperature. |
| Shutdown Quiescent Current | 30 nA typical - extends battery life in always-on or low-power sleep modes of portable equipment. |
| Thermal Shutdown Threshold | 165°C - protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design; auto-recovery at ~150°C. |
Pinout & Package
LMR10515YSDE/NOPB uses a thermally enhanced 6-pin WSON package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm × 0.8 mm) with exposed die attach pad (DAP) for low thermal impedance. Pin 5 (VINA) supplies control circuitry and must be tied to Pin 4 (VIND) on PCB; Pin 6 (EN) enables operation with logic-high signal; Pin 1 (FB) senses output voltage via resistor divider; Pin 2 (GND) serves as signal and power ground; Pin 3 (SW) connects to inductor and catch diode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - FB | Feedback input | Connects to bottom resistor of external voltage divider; regulates output by comparing to 0.6-V internal reference. |
| 2 - GND | Signal and power ground | Reference node for feedback, enable, and internal circuits; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 - SW | Switch node | Drives external inductor and Schottky catch diode; experiences high dv/dt during switching transitions. |
| 4 - VIND | Power input supply | Primary input rail connection; powers internal PMOS switch and high-current paths. |
| 5 - VINA | Control circuitry supply | Supplies bias for error amplifier, oscillator, and logic; must be shorted to VIND on PCB for proper operation. |
| 6 - EN | Enable control input | Logic-high (>1.8 V) enables regulator; logic-low (<0.4 V) disables with 30-nA IQ; must not float or exceed VINA + 0.3 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Internally compensated control loop | Eliminates need for external compensation network - reduces BOM count and design iteration time. |
| 3-MHz fixed-frequency PWM | Enables sub-1-mm-height power solutions using 0.47–1.0 µH shielded inductors and 22 µF X7R MLCCs. |
| Pulse-by-pulse current limit | Protects against short-circuit and overload with 2.5-A typical trip threshold - prevents thermal runaway during fault conditions. |
| Internal soft-start (600 µs) | Controls output voltage ramp rate to minimize inrush current into downstream capacitance and prevent input rail droop. |
| Output overvoltage protection | Shuts off PMOS switch if FB exceeds 0.69 V (15% above VREF), safeguarding connected loads from catastrophic overvoltage. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar step-down regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS62172DSGR | 2.25–5.5-V input, 3-MHz sync buck, 0.6-V ref, but 0.5-A max output and no VINA/VIND separation. | Suitable for lower-current sensor nodes; lacks thermal robustness for 1.5-A continuous loads. | Select when cost-sensitive, low-IQ (<10 µA) operation at <0.5 A is prioritized over output current capability. |
| LMR10515XSD/NOPB | Same package and pinout, but 1.6-MHz switching frequency and 130-mΩ SOT-23 variant; WSON version has 150-mΩ RDS(ON). | Better efficiency at medium loads due to lower switching loss; trades off solution size vs. EMI performance. | Choose for designs requiring larger inductors (≥2.2 µH) and relaxed EMI filtering, or where SOT-23 thermal performance suffices. |
Compared with TPS62172DSGR, LMR10515YSDE/NOPB delivers 3× higher output current in identical WSON packaging; versus LMR10515XSD/NOPB, it enables smaller magnetics and tighter transient response at the cost of marginally higher conduction loss and EMI filtering complexity.

FAQ
What is the recommended input capacitor for LMR10515YSDE/NOPB?
The LMR10515YSDE/NOPB requires a minimum 22-µF multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) rated for ≥6.3 V, preferably X7R or X5R dielectric, placed as close as possible to the VIND and GND pins. This value ensures stable operation at 3 MHz and handles RMS input current up to 1.5 A × √[D(1−D)], where D is the duty cycle. Low-ESL 0805 or 1206 case sizes are strongly recommended to suppress high-frequency ringing.
Does LMR10515YSDE/NOPB require external compensation components?
No, LMR10515YSDE/NOPB is internally compensated - no external compensation network (e.g., type-II or type-III compensator) is needed. Its control loop is optimized for stability with standard 22-µF output capacitance and typical ceramic capacitor ESR values. This simplifies design, reduces bill-of-materials count, and eliminates tuning iterations during prototyping.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal resistance for LMR10515YSDE/NOPB?
The LMR10515YSDE/NOPB has a thermal shutdown threshold of 165°C and a maximum operating junction temperature of 125°C. In the WSON package, its junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is 80°C/W under standard 4-layer 3″×3″ PCB conditions with 2 oz copper, and junction-to-case (θJC) is 18°C/W. Proper DAP grounding and thermal vias are essential to maintain safe operation at full 1.5-A load.
Can LMR10515YSDE/NOPB operate with an output voltage below 0.6 V?
No, LMR10515YSDE/NOPB cannot regulate below 0.6 V because its internal feedback reference voltage is fixed at 0.600 V ±12 mV. The minimum output voltage is determined by VOUT = VFB × (1 + R1/R2), so setting R1 = 0 Ω yields VOUT = VFB = 0.6 V. Attempting lower outputs violates regulation and may cause instability or overvoltage on startup.
How does the VINA and VIND pin separation benefit LMR10515YSDE/NOPB designs?
The VINA (Pin 5) and VIND (Pin 4) separation in LMR10515YSDE/NOPB isolates control circuitry supply from high-current power paths, reducing noise coupling into the error amplifier and oscillator. Though externally tied together on PCB, this architecture improves PSRR and transient immunity - especially critical in noisy industrial environments or when sharing input rails with high-dI/dt loads like motor drivers or RF transmitters.
