Product details
Overview
LD6816CX4/16P,315 from NXP Semiconductors is a 1.6 V fixed-output, 150 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in WLCSP4 package (0.76 mm × 0.76 mm), featuring 45 mV dropout at full load, 30 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), and integrated auto-discharge pull-down transistor for low-ohmic output during disable-optimized for power rail sequencing in mobile phone handsets and portable media players.
For engineers reviewing the LD6816CX4/16P,315 datasheet, LD6816CX4/16P,315 pinout, LD6816CX4/16P,315 application, or LD6816CX4/16P,315 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 1.6 V ±2% output accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C, 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, sub-150 µs startup time, and WLCSP-level thermal resistance (Rth(j-a) = 130 K/W) under standard PCB layout.
Technical Context
The LD6816CX4/16P,315 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (45 mV typ. at 150 mA) and stable operation with only 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitance. Its enable input (VEN) has defined HIGH/LOW thresholds (VIH ≥ 1.1 V, VIL ≤ 0.4 V), independent of VIN, supporting clean power sequencing in multi-rail systems.
Internal protection includes over-temperature shutdown (Tsd = 160 °C, hysteresis = 20 K), current limiting (Isc = 600 mA), and ESD robustness (±10 kV HBM). The integrated pull-down transistor (Rpd = 100 Ω typ.) actively discharges the output during disable, eliminating residual voltage hold-up in battery-powered devices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.6 V ±2% over −40 °C to +85 °C - ensures stable core logic supply for low-voltage SoCs without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 45 mV typical at 150 mA - enables regulation from 1.645 V input, critical for extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding sensitive analog/RF circuitry. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - meets low-noise requirements for ADC reference rails and RF LNA biasing. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.1 µA typical in shutdown (VEN ≤ 0.4 V) - minimizes battery drain in always-on standby modes. |
| Startup Time | <150 µs to 95% of 1.6 V - supports fast wake-up sequences in mobile applications requiring sub-millisecond response. |
| Pull-down Resistance | 100 Ω typical - ensures rapid discharge of 1 µF output cap in <300 µs, preventing unintended wake-up or latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP4), 0.4 mm pitch, 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm footprint, solder bumps on underside (A1–B2 configuration).
| 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) | Enable control input | Active-HIGH logic interface; drives internal pass transistor and pull-down switch; VIH ≥ 1.1 V required for reliable turn-on. |
| OUT (B1) | Regulated output voltage | Delivers 1.6 V to load; integrates auto-discharge path to GND when EN is LOW - eliminates need for external bleed resistor. |
| IN (B2) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.3 V to 5.5 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling within 2 mm of pin to ensure stability and transient response. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 45 mV at 150 mA enables operation from near-threshold input voltages, maximizing energy extraction from aging batteries. |
| Integrated auto-discharge | 100 Ω pull-down transistor actively sinks output current during disable, eliminating external components and reducing BOM count. |
| Low-noise regulation | 30 µVRMS noise supports precision analog circuits without additional filtering, reducing system-level EMI design effort. |
| High PSRR at 1 kHz | 55 dB rejection of ripple from switching regulators allows clean LDO output even when powered from noisy DC-DC stages. |
| Robust protection suite | Thermal shutdown (160 °C), current limit (600 mA), and ±10 kV HBM ESD rating ensure field reliability in handheld environments. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LD6816CX4/16P,315 across temperature and load?
The LD6816CX4/16P,315 delivers 1.6 V with ±2% tolerance over −40 °C to +85 °C ambient and 1 mA to 150 mA load current, as verified in Table 9 of the NXP datasheet. This accuracy holds without external trimming, making LD6816CX4/16P,315 suitable for direct powering of 1.6 V logic interfaces without margin overhead.
Does LD6816CX4/16P,315 require an external pull-down resistor for output discharge?
No. LD6816CX4/16P,315 integrates a dedicated pull-down transistor (Rpd = 100 Ω typ.) that actively discharges the output to GND when EN is LOW. This eliminates the need for external bleed resistors, saving PCB area and reducing BOM cost-unlike most competing LDOs such as RT9013-16GB or XC6216D162MR-G.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitor for stable operation of LD6816CX4/16P,315?
The LD6816CX4/16P,315 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. This ensures stability across temperature and load, and directly affects shutdown time-critical for proper power sequencing in portable devices using LD6816CX4/16P,315.
How does the PSRR of LD6816CX4/16P,315 compare at different load currents?
LD6816CX4/16P,315 maintains 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz across 1 mA to 150 mA loads, as specified in Table 9. Unlike many LDOs whose PSRR degrades significantly with increasing current, LD6816CX4/16P,315 sustains high rejection-enabling clean 1.6 V rails even when driving dynamic digital loads alongside analog circuitry.
Is LD6816CX4/16P,315 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes. LD6816CX4/16P,315 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020C, with peak temperature rating of 260 °C (Table 18). Its WLCSP4 package (volume < 350 mm³, thickness < 1.6 mm) falls in the lowest thermal class, allowing reliable assembly using standard Pb-free profiles without risk of delamination or bump fracture.
