Product details
Overview
LD6816CX4/25P,315 from NXP Semiconductors is a 2.5 V fixed-output, 150 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in WLCSP4 package with auto-discharge (pull-down) functionality. It delivers 45 mV dropout at full load, 30 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), and 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, enabling stable power for noise-sensitive analog circuits in space-constrained portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the LD6816CX4/25P,315 datasheet, LD6816CX4/25P,315 pinout, LD6816CX4/25P,315 application, or LD6816CX4/25P,315 equivalent, this page provides verified electrical parameters, validated WLCSP4 pin mapping, confirmed auto-discharge behavior, thermal derating guidance, and real-world mobile interface use cases - all extracted from NXP's official Rev. 1 (2012) product data sheet.
Technical Context
The LD6816CX4/25P,315 integrates a precision bandgap reference, error amplifier, and PMOS pass transistor to maintain regulation across 2.3 V–5.5 V input range. Its pull-down switching transistor actively discharges the output during disable, ensuring rapid voltage decay (<300 µs shutdown time) and preventing floating rail conditions in multi-rail systems.
Designed for high-density portable applications, it features internal over-temperature and current limiting, 10 kV HBM ESD protection, and operates across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient. The 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm WLCSP4 package uses 0.4 mm pitch solder bumps and requires ≥0.7 µF X7R output capacitance with 5–500 mΩ ESR for stability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2% over −40 °C to +85 °C; enables direct replacement of 2.5 V logic rails without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 45 mV typical at 150 mA; allows operation with only 2.545 V input, maximizing battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion or Li-poly systems. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding sensitive RF or ADC circuitry. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); meets low-noise requirements for camera sensor bias, audio codec supplies, and precision references. |
| Quiescent Current | 0.1 µA typical in shutdown (VEN ≤ 0.4 V); supports ultra-low-power wake-on-event architectures in always-on subsystems. |
| 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 Shutdown | Triggers at 160 °C with 20 K hysteresis; protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP4), 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm, 0.4 mm pitch, 4 solder bumps (2×2), Pb-free/RoHS/halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 (GND) | Supply ground reference | Primary return path for regulator current; must connect to large copper pour for thermal and noise performance. |
| A2 (EN) | Active-HIGH enable input | Drives internal pass transistor; logic HIGH ≥1.1 V enables regulation; LOW ≤0.4 V disables with auto-discharge active. |
| B1 (OUT) | Regulated output voltage | Delivers 2.5 V to load; includes integrated pull-down transistor (100 Ω typical) to discharge external capacitance on disable. |
| B2 (IN) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V; requires local 1 µF ceramic decoupling close to pin to minimize input impedance and improve PSRR. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-discharge function | Integrated 100 Ω pull-down transistor on OUT pin ensures rapid discharge (<300 µs) during disable, eliminating need for external bleed resistors in multi-voltage domain sequencing. |
| Ultra-low noise output | 30 µVRMS noise over 10 Hz–100 kHz enables clean power for image sensors, PLLs, and high-resolution ADCs without additional filtering. |
| Fast start-up time | 150 µs to reach 95% of 2.5 V output; supports dynamic power gating in mobile SoC subsystems requiring sub-millisecond wake-up. |
| High PSRR at low frequency | 55 dB rejection at 1 kHz suppresses ripple from buck converter switching frequencies and their harmonics, critical for RF front-end isolation. |
| Robust protection suite | Includes over-current limit (600 mA short-circuit), thermal shutdown (160 °C), and 10 kV HBM ESD protection - reducing system-level reliability testing burden. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of LD6816CX4/25P,315 over temperature and load?
The LD6816CX4/25P,315 maintains output voltage within ±2% of 2.5 V across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature and 1 mA to 150 mA load current. At +25 °C and 1 mA load, tolerance tightens to ±0.5%; line regulation contributes ≤±0.1%/V over input range 2.7 V to 5.5 V. These values are specified in Table 9 of the NXP datasheet Rev. 1.
Does LD6816CX4/25P,315 require an external pull-down resistor for output discharge?
No. LD6816CX4/25P,315 integrates a dedicated pull-down transistor on the OUT pin (100 Ω typical resistance) that activates automatically when EN is low, providing low-ohmic discharge without external components. This auto-discharge function is inherent to the "P" suffix variant and is confirmed in Sections 1.1 and 9.8 of the datasheet.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitor for stable operation of LD6816CX4/25P,315?
The LD6816CX4/25P,315 requires a minimum 0.7 µF X7R ceramic capacitor at the OUT pin, with ESR between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ. NXP recommends 1.0 µF as the typical value (Table 10). Using capacitors outside this range risks instability or degraded transient response, especially during load steps or enable transitions.
How does the thermal performance of LD6816CX4/25P,315 depend on PCB layout?
LD6816CX4/25P,315 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) of 130 K/W on a two-layer PCB, but this improves significantly with proper layout: connecting all four solder bumps to large copper areas (especially GND and IN), using multiple vias to inner ground/power planes, and avoiding solder mask under the die. Section 7 of the datasheet details these techniques to reduce effective Rth(j-a).
Is LD6816CX4/25P,315 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes. LD6816CX4/25P,315 is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020C. Its WLCSP4 package (volume <350 mm³, thickness <1.6 mm) requires a peak reflow temperature of 260 °C. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL) compliance must be observed - refer to NXP packaging documentation for bake and floor-life requirements prior to assembly.
