Product details
Overview
LD6816CX4/14H,315 from NXP Semiconductors is a 1.4 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 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz. It delivers stable low-noise power for voltage-sensitive analog and digital blocks in space-constrained mobile devices.
For engineers reviewing the LD6816CX4/14H,315 datasheet, LD6816CX4/14H,315 pinout, LD6816CX4/14H,315 application, or LD6816CX4/14H,315 equivalent, key selection criteria include high-ohmic (3-state) output during disable, sub-0.1 µA shutdown current, thermal/overcurrent protection, and compatibility with 0.7–1.0 µF X7R output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LD6816CX4/14H,315 employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout operation down to 45 mV at 150 mA, with input voltage support from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. Its internal reference and error amplifier maintain ±0.5% output accuracy at 25 °C and ±3% over −40 °C to +85 °C ambient.
It integrates active-high enable logic (VIH ≥ 1.1 V, VIL ≤ 0.4 V), fast 150 µs startup time, and robust protection including over-temperature shutdown at 160 °C with 20 K hysteresis and current limiting to 600 mA short-circuit peak.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.4 V ±3% over −40 °C to +85 °C - ensures stable core or I/O rail for low-voltage processors and sensors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 45 mV typical at 150 mA - enables operation with minimal headroom, e.g., powering 1.4 V logic from a 1.45 V battery or intermediate rail. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.1 µA typical in shutdown mode - critical for battery-backed systems requiring multi-year shelf life. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding sensitive RF or audio circuits. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - supports low-noise analog signal chains without additional filtering. |
| 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. |
| Thermal Protection | Shuts down at 160 °C with 20 K hysteresis - prevents permanent damage during transient overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
LD6816CX4/14H,315 uses a 0.4 mm pitch Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP4), measuring 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm, with four solder bumps arranged in a 2×2 grid and index area marking bump A1.
| 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 | Controls regulator state; drives high (>1.1 V) to activate, low (<0.4 V) to enter high-ohmic shutdown. |
| OUT (B1) | Regulated output voltage | Delivers 1.4 V to load; presents high-impedance (3-state) when disabled - avoids back-driving or leakage paths. |
| IN (B2) | Input supply voltage | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V; requires local 1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed near the pin for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 45 mV at 150 mA enables use with tight input-output margins, extending battery runtime in portable systems. |
| Low-noise regulation | 30 µVRMS output noise supports precision ADCs, RF synthesizers, and audio codecs without added LDO post-filtering. |
| High-ohmic disable | Output floats to high-impedance state when EN = LOW - isolates downstream circuitry and prevents unintended power-up sequencing. |
| Integrated ESD protection | 10 kV HBM rating on all pins reduces need for external TVS diodes in handheld device front-end designs. |
| Miniature WLCSP4 package | 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm footprint saves >70% board area vs. SOT-23 - ideal for camera modules and wearable sensor nodes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A0514PDBVR | 1.4 V fixed output, 200 mA, 170 mV dropout at 200 mA, SOT-23-5 package (2.9 mm × 1.6 mm) | Larger footprint, higher dropout, no high-ohmic disable - requires external pull-down for auto-discharge | Select when board layout allows larger package and higher dropout is acceptable; not suitable for ultra-miniaturized designs. |
| MCP1826T-1402E/MB | 1.4 V fixed output, 300 mA, 340 mV dropout at 300 mA, 2 mm × 2 mm DFN-8 package | Higher current capability but significantly larger size and higher noise (65 µVRMS) | Choose when higher output current or thermal margin is required; avoid where 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm WLCSP is mandatory. |

FAQ
What is the nominal output voltage of the LD6816CX4/14H,315?
The LD6816CX4/14H,315 provides a fixed nominal output voltage of 1.4 V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±0.5% at 25 °C and ±3% over the full operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C. This value is confirmed in Table 3 of the NXP datasheet and corresponds to the "14H" suffix in the part number.
Does the LD6816CX4/14H,315 support high-ohmic output disable?
Yes, the LD6816CX4/14H,315 features a high-ohmic (3-state) output when disabled - a defining characteristic of the "H" variant. When the EN pin is driven LOW, the OUT pin enters a high-impedance state rather than being pulled low, preventing back-driving of downstream circuitry and enabling clean power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitor for stable operation of the LD6816CX4/14H,315?
The LD6816CX4/14H,315 requires a minimum external output capacitance of 0.7 µF, with a recommended value of 1.0 µF X7R ceramic capacitor. The capacitor must meet ±30% tolerance over temperature and operate across −40 °C to +125 °C. Using less than 0.7 µF risks instability and degraded transient response.
What is the thermal shutdown behavior of the LD6816CX4/14H,315?
The LD6816CX4/14H,315 activates thermal shutdown at a junction temperature of 160 °C and remains off until temperature drops by 20 K (to ~140 °C) due to built-in hysteresis. This protects the device during sustained overload or inadequate PCB heat sinking, and recovery is automatic once safe thermal conditions are restored.
Can the LD6816CX4/14H,315 be used with a 1.8 V enable signal?
Yes, the LD6816CX4/14H,315 accepts 1.8 V as a valid HIGH-level enable signal: its VIH specification is ≥1.1 V, and maximum input voltage on EN is VIN (up to 5.5 V). A 1.8 V GPIO directly drives EN without level-shifting, simplifying interface design with modern low-voltage MCUs and PMICs.
