Product details
Overview
LD6816CX4/16H,315 from NXP Semiconductors is a 1.6 V fixed-output, 150 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in WLCSP4 package with 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 interface rails in smartphones and portable media players.
For engineers reviewing the LD6816CX4/16H,315 datasheet, LD6816CX4/16H,315 pinout, LD6816CX4/16H,315 application, or LD6816CX4/16H,315 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout voltage under 150 mA load, enable threshold compatibility (VIH ≥ 1.1 V), thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 130 K/W), and WLCSP4 soldering requirements for fine-pitch PCB assembly.
Technical Context
The LD6816CX4/16H,315 uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling 45 mV dropout at 150 mA while maintaining stability with 1.0 µF X7R ceramic output capacitance. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier deliver ±0.5% output accuracy at 25 °C and ±3% over −40 °C to +85 °C ambient.
It integrates over-temperature shutdown (Tsd = 160 °C, hysteresis = 20 K), current limiting (Isc = 600 mA), and ESD protection (10 kV HBM). The active-HIGH enable input (VEN) controls regulator state without external pull-up, and the high-ohmic output on disable isolates downstream circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.6 V ±3% over −40 °C to +85 °C - ensures stable core/interface rail for low-voltage logic without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 45 mV typical at 150 mA - enables operation from 1.645 V input, critical for battery-powered systems near end-of-discharge. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses ripple from noisy switching supplies feeding the LDO input. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - supports noise-sensitive analog circuits like ADC references or RF bias rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.1 µA typical in shutdown (VEN ≤ 0.4 V) - minimizes battery drain in standby mode for always-on subsystems. |
| Start-up Time | < 150 µs to 95% of 1.6 V - enables fast power sequencing in multi-rail mobile SoC applications. |
| Thermal Resistance | Rth(j-a) = 130 K/W - requires solid copper connections to ground/power planes for safe 150 mA operation at +85 °C ambient. |
Pinout & Package
LD6816CX4/16H,315 is housed in a 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP4) with 0.4 mm pitch and four solder bumps in 2×2 array. The package is Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, halogen- and antimony-free (dark green).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (A1) | Supply ground reference | Primary return path for regulator current; must connect to low-impedance ground plane to ensure PSRR and thermal performance. |
| EN (A2) | Enable control input | Active-HIGH logic input (VIH ≥ 1.1 V); drives internal pass transistor gate-no external pull-up required. |
| OUT (B1) | Regulated output | Delivers 1.6 V to load; enters high-ohmic (3-state) mode when EN is LOW-prevents backfeeding or leakage into powered-down domains. |
| IN (B2) | Input supply connection | Accepts 2.3 V to 5.5 V input; requires local 1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin for stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 45 mV at 150 mA enables single-cell Li-ion (2.8–4.2 V) or dual-cell NiMH operation down to 1.645 V input. |
| Low-noise regulation | 30 µVRMS noise supports precision analog blocks without requiring additional filtering stages. |
| Fast enable/disable timing | 150 µs start-up and 300 µs shutdown allow tight power sequencing control in multi-rail SoC platforms. |
| High-ohmic disable state | Isolates output from load during sleep-eliminates reverse current and preserves battery charge in always-off subsystems. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (160 °C), current limit (600 mA), and 10 kV HBM ESD protect against board-level stress events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B162MR-G | 1.6 V fixed, 150 mA, 65 mV dropout (at 100 mA), SOT-25 package (2.9 × 2.8 mm) | Larger footprint and higher dropout reduce suitability for ultra-thin mobile designs with tight input headroom. | Select when board space allows larger SMT package and thermal management via PCB copper is less constrained. |
| Richtek RT9013-16GB | 1.6 V fixed, 150 mA, 250 mV dropout (at 150 mA), DFN-4 (1.0 × 1.0 mm) | Higher dropout limits use with sub-1.85 V inputs; DFN-4 has lower Rth(j-a) (~110 K/W) but no high-ohmic disable. | Choose where thermal performance is prioritized over input voltage margin and output isolation during disable is not required. |
Compared with XC6219B162MR-G and RT9013-16GB, LD6816CX4/16H,315 delivers the lowest dropout and smallest package volume, making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-critical mobile interfaces-but requires careful WLCSP4 reflow process control and lacks integrated pull-down for auto-discharge.

FAQ
What is the nominal output voltage and tolerance of LD6816CX4/16H,315?
The LD6816CX4/16H,315 provides a fixed 1.6 V output with ±0.5% tolerance at +25 °C and ±3% over the full operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C. This accuracy is maintained across 1 mA to 150 mA load currents and input voltages from 2.3 V to 5.5 V, as verified in Table 9 of the NXP datasheet Rev. 1.
Does LD6816CX4/16H,315 support auto-discharge functionality?
No, LD6816CX4/16H,315 does not include auto-discharge. It belongs to the 'H' variant family (denoted by 'H' in the part number), which places the output in a high-ohmic (3-state) condition when disabled. Auto-discharge is only available in 'P' and 'CxxP' variants, which integrate a pull-down transistor to actively discharge the output node.
What is the recommended output capacitor for LD6816CX4/16H,315 and why?
The recommended output capacitor for LD6816CX4/16H,315 is a 1.0 µF X7R ceramic capacitor with ESR between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ. This value ensures loop stability, meets the minimum 0.7 µF requirement, and supports the specified 150 µs start-up time. X7R dielectric guarantees performance across −40 °C to +125 °C, matching the device's full temperature specification.
Can LD6816CX4/16H,315 operate from a 2.0 V input supply?
Yes, LD6816CX4/16H,315 can operate from a 2.0 V input, but only if the load current remains below ~70 mA. At 150 mA, the minimum input is 1.645 V (1.6 V + 45 mV dropout). With 2.0 V input, the maximum sustainable load is determined by the dropout curve: Figure 7 shows Vdo ≈ 30 mV at 100 mA and ≈ 20 mV at 50 mA, confirming safe operation at 2.0 V up to ~120 mA per datasheet characterization.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum power dissipation of LD6816CX4/16H,315?
LD6816CX4/16H,315 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) of 130 K/W under standard two-layer PCB conditions. Its absolute maximum total power dissipation is 770 mW (Table 6), but practical continuous dissipation at +85 °C ambient is limited to ~200 mW due to thermal derating-corresponding to ~125 mA at 1.6 V output with 2.3 V input (ΔV = 0.7 V).
