Product details
Overview
LD6805K/12P,115 from NXP Semiconductors is a 1.2 V fixed-output, 150 mA low-dropout regulator (LDO) with ultra-high PSRR (75 dB at 1 kHz), 250 mV dropout at full load, and auto-discharge functionality enabled via integrated pull-down transistor. It operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V input and targets power-sensitive portable electronics requiring clean, stable low-voltage rails.
For engineers reviewing the LD6805K/12P,115 datasheet, LD6805K/12P,115 pinout, LD6805K/12P,115 application, or LD6805K/12P,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.2 V output accuracy (±0.5% at +25°C), 40 µV RMS output noise, 150 µs startup time, and DFN1010C-4 (1 × 1 mm) thermal-enhanced package for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The LD6805K/12P,115 integrates a precision voltage reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor in monolithic silicon. Its enable input (EN, active HIGH) controls regulation and activates the internal 100 Ω pull-down switch during shutdown to discharge the output capacitor - critical for system-level power sequencing and leakage control.
This LDO uses a stable internal compensation scheme compatible with 1.0 µF X7R ceramic output capacitors (ESR 5–500 mΩ). Its high PSRR stems from optimized internal feedback loop gain and rejection architecture, maintaining >60 dB suppression up to 100 kHz, making it suitable for noise-sensitive analog and RF supply domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±0.5% at +25°C; supports precision core logic and low-voltage I/O rails |

Pinout & Package
LD6805K/12P,115 is housed in a DFN1010C-4 (SOT1194-1) plastic package measuring 1.0 × 1.0 × 0.55 mm with thermal-enhanced exposed tab (GND-connected). The 4-pin layout supports minimal PCB footprint and efficient heat dissipation in thin-profile portable devices.

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LD6805K/12P,115 across temperature?
The LD6805K/12P,115 guarantees ±0.5% output voltage accuracy at +25°C and ±3% over the full operating range of −40°C to +85°C. This specification is verified per Table 8 in the NXP product data sheet Rev. 2 (2012), ensuring stable 1.2 V delivery for precision logic and analog circuits without external trimming. LD6805K/12P,115 maintains this tolerance under 1 mA load and nominal input conditions.
Does LD6805K/12P,115 require an external output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes, LD6805K/12P,115 requires a minimum 0.7 µF external ceramic output capacitor for stability, with 1.0 µF X7R recommended per Table 9 and Section 10.1. The capacitor must have ESR between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ. Using this value ensures proper phase margin, controlled startup/shutdown behavior, and compliance with the specified 150 µs startup and 300 µs shutdown times. LD6805K/12P,115 is not stable with tantalum or electrolytic capacitors due to ESR mismatch.
How does the auto-discharge function work in LD6805K/12P,115?
When the EN pin of LD6805K/12P,115 is driven LOW, the device enters shutdown mode and activates an internal 100 Ω pull-down transistor between OUT and GND. This provides a low-ohmic discharge path for the output capacitor, rapidly bringing VOUT to near-zero volts. This feature is confirmed in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 of the datasheet and distinguishes LD6805K/12P,115 from the /xxH variant, which leaves OUT in high-impedance state. LD6805K/12P,115 thus enables safe power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
What is the thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) of LD6805K/12P,115, and how is it achieved?
The typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of LD6805K/12P,115 is 250 K/W under standard test conditions (2-layer PCB, Tamb = 25°C), as specified in Table 7. This value assumes the exposed GND tab is soldered to a solid copper ground plane using the recommended footprint in Figure 9. Thermal performance degrades significantly if the tab is left unconnected or covered with solder mask. LD6805K/12P,115 relies on this tab for primary heat conduction, not just the four perimeter pins.
Is LD6805K/12P,115 RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, LD6805K/12P,115 is Pb-free, RoHS compliant, and free of halogen and antimony per the "dark green compliant" designation in Section 1.2. It meets the EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and satisfies JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for surface-mount reflow. The DFN1010C-4 package uses environmentally compliant molding compound and termination finish, as verified in the NXP quality documentation NX2-00001. LD6805K/12P,115 carries full compliance documentation through NXP's official channels.
