That is correct. There is not much space on the PCA20006, so there was no room left for the 2 inductors(L5,L4) and the capacitor(C12) on the PCA20006. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi,

The PCA20006 don't have the components required to enable DC/DC. I.e. it's missing the following components: L5(15nH), L4 (10uH) and C12(1uF).
