Product details
Overview
LD6816CX4/23P,315 from NXP Semiconductors is a 2.3 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 auto-discharge functionality via integrated pull-down transistor. It operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V input and delivers stable power to noise-sensitive analog/digital cores in space-constrained mobile devices.
For engineers reviewing the LD6816CX4/23P,315 datasheet, LD6816CX4/23P,315 pinout, LD6816CX4/23P,315 application, or LD6816CX4/23P,315 equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed WLCSP4 footprint details, and real-world use cases for portable electronics power rail design.
Technical Context
The LD6816CX4/23P,315 integrates a precision bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor with thermal shutdown and current limiting. Its enable input (active HIGH) controls fast start-up (<150 µs) and controlled shutdown (300 µs), while the internal pull-down transistor ensures rapid output discharge when disabled - critical for multi-rail sequencing in battery-powered systems.
Designed for low-noise operation, it achieves 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz and maintains ±0.5% output accuracy over temperature (−40 °C to +85 °C) and load (1–150 mA). The 0.4 mm pitch WLCSP4 package (0.76 × 0.76 × 0.47 mm) supports high-density PCB layouts without compromising thermal performance (Rth(j-a) = 130 K/W).
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B231MR-G | 2.3 V fixed output, 150 mA, 65 mV dropout (at 100 mA), no auto-discharge, SOT-25 package | Lacks pull-down transistor; requires external discharge circuit for sequencing-critical designs | Choose when board space permits larger SOT-25 and auto-discharge is unnecessary |
| Richtek RT9013-23GB | 2.3 V fixed output, 300 mA, 250 mV dropout (at 300 mA), 50 µVRMS noise, WDFN-6 package | Higher dropout and noise; larger 1.2 mm × 1.2 mm package; no integrated pull-down | Choose only if higher output current is required and WLCSP4 miniaturization is not critical |
Compared with LD6816CX4/23P,315, the XC6219B231MR-G offers similar voltage/accuracy but lacks auto-discharge and occupies 5× more board area, while the RT9013-23GB trades off noise performance and footprint efficiency for higher current capability - neither matches the LD6816CX4/23P,315's combination of ultra-low dropout, ultra-low noise, and integrated discharge in WLCSP4.

FAQ
What is the nominal output voltage of the LD6816CX4/23P,315?
The LD6816CX4/23P,315 delivers a fixed nominal output voltage of 2.3 V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±2% over temperature (−40 °C to +85 °C) and load (1–150 mA). This value is laser-marked as "L" on the WLCSP4 package per Table 12 of the datasheet, confirming its P-version (pull-down) and 2.3 V output configuration.
Does the LD6816CX4/23P,315 include an auto-discharge function?
Yes, the LD6816CX4/23P,315 includes an integrated pull-down transistor that activates when the EN pin is driven LOW, pulling the OUT pin to GND through a typical 100 Ω resistance. This auto-discharge function ensures rapid output voltage decay (<300 µs to 10% VOUT) - essential for safe power sequencing in multi-rail portable systems.
What is the recommended output capacitor for stable operation of the LD6816CX4/23P,315?
The LD6816CX4/23P,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. Capacitor ESR must be between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ; placement should be adjacent to the WLCSP4 package with short, low-inductance traces to ground.
What is the thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) of the LD6816CX4/23P,315 in typical PCB layout?
The LD6816CX4/23P,315 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) of 130 K/W under standard test conditions (2-layer PCB, Tamb = 25 °C). Achieving this value requires solid copper connections on all four bumps - especially GND (A1) - and optional thermal vias beneath the package to inner ground/power planes.
How does the LD6816CX4/23P,315 compare to the H-version (e.g., LD6816CX4/23H) in disable behavior?
Unlike the LD6816CX4/23H, which enters a high-ohmic (tri-state) output condition when disabled, the LD6816CX4/23P,315 actively pulls the OUT pin LOW via its integrated 100 Ω transistor. This fundamental difference makes the LD6816CX4/23P,315 suitable for applications requiring automatic discharge, while the H-version is used where output floating is acceptable or desired.
