U10 is the TPS715-Q1 soft start LDO. This device is used to step-down AVDD, a 5V supply on the BQ79718B-Q1 device, from 5V down to 3.3V. This 3.3V output from the soft start LDO will be used as the power supply for the CC2662R-Q1 device. AVDD can support external loads up to 20mA. A soft start LDO is used to reduce the inrush current drawn by the wireless MCU design at turn on and allow the AVDD supply to ramp up to 5V successfully.
