LMR12010YMKENOPB schematic symbol

Voltage regulators ICs are an integral part of modern switch mode power supplies, power electronic circuits, and consumer electronic devices. Almost all consumer electronic devices run on low level DC voltage. Even those device which run on AC power, have AC-DC converters built into them. The electronic components such as microprocessors, microcontrollers, ICs, LCDs, and LEDs require low level DC voltages for their operation, ranging from 1.8V to 5V. The DC power can either be provided through a battery or through an AC-DC converter. However, all the battery operated electronic devices also have AC-DC converter circuits built into them to charge the battery. The main element in an AC-DC converter is the diode rectifier which converts the AC to DC however, the output voltage of the rectifier contains high ripple content which degrades power quality. Hence voltage regulators are used in such circuits to remove the ripple content from the signal and to provide a stable DC voltage to the desired load.

What is LMR12010YMKE/NOPB？

The LMR12010YMKE/NOPB is a monolithic high-frequency regulator with built in PWM step-down DC-DC converter. This PWM DC-DC converter based regulator is developed by Texas Instruments. The regulator comes in a 6 pin SOT-23 package. This regulator IC is compact in size and requires minimum external components. The device houses a 300 Ohm NMOS switch which can drive loads up to 1A.
