 I’m working with an nRF-based board and need to via software disable the internal DC-DC converter and use the LDO exclusively for testing purposes. I’m unclear on: 
 
 How to do this? 
 When I can do this action for it to properly take effect</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 12 Sep 2025 11:41:51 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/124330/how-to-disable-dc-dc-converter-on-nrf54l-device" /><item><title>RE: How to disable DC-DC converter on nRF54L device</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/548592?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 12 Sep 2025 11:41:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:0c2b867a-f9e4-4d9e-8fd1-0e9146dd4b8d</guid><dc:creator>AHaug</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The nRF54L15 only supports DC/DC. From the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ps_nrf54L15/page/keyfeatures_html5.html"&gt;54l15 datasheet chapter 5.7.1:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;5.7.1 VREGMAIN — Main regulator VREGMAIN is the main regulator of the system. The device can only be operated in DC/DC mode, ....&amp;quot;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;i.e any workaround you do to only use the internal LDO, will result in limitations both w.r.t peak limit current and power consumption in general.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What type of device are you aiming for here? On the grid devices/devices that don&amp;#39;t care about current consumption&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;may&lt;/em&gt; be an option for the non-supported LDO, but I can&amp;#39;t state that it will work since the device is not characterized for LDO only.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kind regards,&lt;br /&gt;Andreas&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
