Product details
Overview
LD6816CX4/12H from NXP Semiconductors is a 1.2 V fixed-output, 150 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in WLCSP4 package, featuring 45 mV dropout at full load, 30 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), and high-ohmic (3-state) output during disable-designed for power-sensitive mobile interfaces in smartphones and portable media players.
For engineers reviewing the LD6816CX4/12H datasheet, LD6816CX4/12H pinout, LD6816CX4/12H application, or LD6816CX4/12H equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.3–5.5 V input range, 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, <150 µs startup time, ±0.5% output accuracy at +25°C, and integrated over-temperature and current limiting protection.
Technical Context
The LD6816CX4/12H employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout voltage and stable operation with only 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitance. Its enable input (active HIGH) controls a high-impedance output state-no internal pull-down-making it suitable for systems requiring isolation of downstream circuitry during shutdown.
Internal bandgap reference, error amplifier, and thermal/current protection circuits operate across −40°C to +85°C ambient, with junction temperature limited to +125°C. The device achieves 55 dB power supply rejection at 1 kHz while maintaining low quiescent current (70–100 µA active, 0.1 µA shutdown) and 30 µVRMS noise performance critical for analog and RF supply domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.2 V ±0.5% at +25°C; ±3% over −30°C to +85°C - ensures stable core logic or sensor biasing without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 45 mV typical at 150 mA - enables regulation from 1.245 V input, maximizing battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding sensitive analog/RF subsystems. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - meets low-noise requirements for ADC references, audio codecs, and precision sensors. |
| Startup Time | <150 µs to 95% of 1.2 V - supports fast wake-up sequences in always-on mobile peripherals and IoT edge nodes. |
| Quiescent Current | 70–100 µA under load; 0.1 µA in shutdown - minimizes standby power loss in battery-backed real-time clocks and memory retention rails. |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 1.1 V min; VIL = 0.4 V max - compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V GPIOs without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP4), 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, 4 solder bumps (2×2), Pb-free/RoHS/halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (A1) | Supply ground reference | Primary return path for regulator current; must connect to solid ground plane for thermal and noise performance. |
| EN (A2) | Active-HIGH enable input | Drives internal control logic; ≥1.1 V enables regulation; ≤0.4 V disables output into high-ohmic state. |
| OUT (B1) | Regulated 1.2 V output | Delivers up to 150 mA; requires ≥1.0 µF X7R ceramic capacitor with 5–500 mΩ ESR for stability. |
| IN (B2) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V; bypass with local 1 µF capacitor recommended to suppress high-frequency ripple. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 45 mV at 150 mA enables operation from near-threshold input voltages, extending usable battery range. |
| Low-noise regulation | 30 µVRMS output noise supports noise-sensitive analog blocks without additional filtering. |
| High PSRR | 55 dB at 1 kHz rejects ripple from noisy switchers, simplifying multi-rail power architecture design. |
| Fast transient response | <150 µs startup and controlled load regulation (<0.01 %/mA) maintain system timing integrity during mode transitions. |
| Thermal & current protection | Integrated shutdown at 160°C (20 K hysteresis) and current limiting prevent damage during fault conditions. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for LD6816CX4/12H?
The LD6816CX4/12H has an absolute maximum input voltage of +6.0 V for 4 ms transients, with recommended operating range of 2.3 V to 5.5 V. Exceeding 5.5 V continuously risks exceeding thermal limits or triggering overvoltage protection not specified in the datasheet. Always maintain VIN within 2.3–5.5 V for reliable LD6816CX4/12H operation.
Does LD6816CX4/12H include reverse-current protection?
No, the LD6816CX4/12H does not integrate reverse-current protection. When input voltage falls below output voltage (e.g., during battery swap or hot-plug events), current may flow backward from OUT to IN through the PMOS pass device. External diode or ideal diode controller is required if reverse-current blocking is needed in the application using LD6816CX4/12H.
What output capacitor is required for stable operation of LD6816CX4/12H?
The LD6816CX4/12H requires a minimum 0.7 µF X7R ceramic capacitor at the OUT pin, with recommended value of 1.0 µF and ESR between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ. Using capacitors outside this range may cause instability or excessive overshoot during load transients. This requirement applies directly to LD6816CX4/12H and is validated per Section 10.1 of its datasheet.
How does the high-ohmic disable state of LD6816CX4/12H differ from auto-discharge variants?
The LD6816CX4/12H enters a true high-impedance (3-state) output during disable-no internal pull-down-leaving OUT floating. In contrast, LD6816CX4/12P and LD6816CX4/C12P integrate a ~100 Ω pull-down transistor to actively discharge the output node. This distinction is critical for LD6816CX4/12H users needing isolation rather than rapid discharge in power-gated domains.
Is LD6816CX4/12H suitable for automotive applications?
No, LD6816CX4/12H is qualified per NX1-00023 for consumer applications only, with operating ambient temperature range of −40°C to +85°C and junction limit of +125°C-insufficient for AEC-Q100 Grade 2 (−40°C to +105°C) or Grade 1 (−40°C to +125°C) automotive requirements. For automotive use, consider NXP's automotive-grade LDOs such as the TDA3664 or MC33VR500 instead of LD6816CX4/12H.
