Product details
Overview
LD6816CX4/18H,315 from NXP Semiconductors is a 1.8 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 including smartphone baseband and camera sensor rails.
For engineers reviewing the LD6816CX4/18H,315 datasheet, LD6816CX4/18H,315 pinout, LD6816CX4/18H,315 application, or LD6816CX4/18H,315 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.8 V output accuracy (±0.5% at +25°C), 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, <150 µs startup time, and WLCSP4 footprint compatibility with space-constrained portable PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LD6816CX4/18H,315 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout operation down to 45 mV at 150 mA, with internal voltage reference and error amplifier delivering tight output regulation across −40°C to +85°C ambient. Its enable input (VEN) accepts active-HIGH logic with VIH ≥1.1 V and VIL ≤0.4 V, independent of input voltage.
Thermal protection triggers shutdown at 160°C junction temperature with 20 K hysteresis, while overcurrent limiting caps peak output at 300 mA (for VO(nom) ≥1.8 V) and short-circuit current at 600 mA. The device operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V input and requires only a 1.0 µF X7R ceramic output capacitor for stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 1.8 V ±0.5% at +25°C; ±3% over −30°C to +85°C - ensures stable core voltage for low-power ASICs and image sensors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 45 mV typical at 150 mA - enables operation with minimal VIN–VOUT headroom, extending battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding noisy power domains. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - meets stringent noise requirements for analog front-ends and RF bias rails. |
| Quiescent Current | 70–100 µA active; 0.1 µA in shutdown - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems. |
| Startup Time | <150 µs to 95% of 1.8 V - supports fast wake-up sequences in power-gated mobile SoC domains. |
| Enable Threshold | VIH = 1.1 V min; VIL = 0.4 V max - compatible with 1.8 V GPIO without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
LD6816CX4/18H,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 low-impedance ground plane for noise and thermal 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 mode. |
| OUT (B1) | Regulated output voltage | Delivers 1.8 V to load; presents high-impedance (3-state) when disabled-no auto-discharge required. |
| IN (B2) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling close to pin for transient response and stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 45 mV at 150 mA enables use with <2.0 V input sources (e.g., partially discharged Li-ion cells). |
| Low-noise regulation | 30 µVRMS noise supports clean power for precision analog circuits without external filtering. |
| Fast enable control | <150 µs startup and 300 µs shutdown times allow dynamic power sequencing in multi-rail systems. |
| High-ohmic disable | Open-circuit output during shutdown isolates downstream circuitry, preventing backfeed or leakage paths. |
| Robust protection | Integrated thermal shutdown (160°C), current limiting (300 mA peak), and 10 kV HBM ESD rating ensure field reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A0518PDBVR | 1.8 V, 200 mA, 170 mV dropout at 200 mA; SOT-23-5 package; 12 µVRMS noise | Higher dropout limits use in low-headroom battery systems; larger SOT-23 footprint increases layout area | Choose when lower noise is critical and board space allows SOT-23; avoid if VIN < 2.0 V or miniaturization is mandatory. |
| MCP1700T-1802E/TT | 1.8 V, 250 mA, 178 mV dropout at 250 mA; SOT-23-3 package; 30 µVRMS noise; no enable pin | No enable function eliminates sequencing control; higher dropout reduces efficiency in Li-ion discharge curve | Choose for cost-sensitive, always-on applications where enable control and ultra-low dropout are not required. |

FAQ
What is the nominal output voltage and tolerance of LD6816CX4/18H,315?
The LD6816CX4/18H,315 provides a fixed 1.8 V output with ±0.5% tolerance at +25°C and ±3% over the full operating temperature range (−30°C to +85°C). This accuracy is verified per Table 9 in the NXP datasheet and ensures reliable operation for 1.8 V I/O standards in mobile SoCs and sensors.
Does LD6816CX4/18H,315 support auto-discharge functionality?
No, LD6816CX4/18H,315 does not include auto-discharge. As indicated by the "H" suffix, it features a high-ohmic (3-state) output during disable-meaning the OUT pin floats rather than pulling low. For auto-discharge, select "P" or "CxxP" variants like LD6816CX4/18P.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitor for LD6816CX4/18H,315?
The LD6816CX4/18H,315 requires a minimum 0.7 µF X7R ceramic capacitor at the OUT pin, with 1.0 µF recommended for optimal stability and transient response. Equivalent Series Resistance (ESR) must be between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ, and the capacitor must meet ±30% tolerance over temperature.
Can LD6816CX4/18H,315 operate from a 2.0 V input supply?
No-LD6816CX4/18H,315 has a minimum input voltage of 2.3 V per Table 7. At 1.8 V output, a 2.0 V input falls below the required headroom even for ultra-low dropout operation. Valid input range is strictly 2.3 V to 5.5 V for guaranteed regulation and protection functionality.
What package type and dimensions does LD6816CX4/18H,315 use?
LD6816CX4/18H,315 uses a Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP4) with 0.4 mm bump pitch, measuring 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm. It features four solder bumps in a 2×2 array, with bump A1 serving as the index corner-fully documented in Figure 24 and Table 14 of the NXP datasheet.
