Product details
Overview
LD6816CX4/29H,315 from NXP Semiconductors is a 2.9 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 high-ohmic (3-state) output during disable. It operates from 2.3 V to 5.5 V input and targets power-sensitive mobile interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LD6816CX4/29H,315 datasheet, LD6816CX4/29H,315 pinout, LD6816CX4/29H,315 application, or LD6816CX4/29H,315 equivalent, key selection criteria include dropout performance under 150 mA load, shutdown quiescent current (< 1 µA), PSRR (55 dB @ 1 kHz), thermal protection (160 °C trip), and WLCSP4 soldering compatibility for miniaturized PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LD6816CX4/29H,315 uses a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (45 mV typ. @ 150 mA) and stable regulation across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient. Its enable input (EN) is active-HIGH with VIH ≥ 1.1 V and VIL ≤ 0.4 V, supporting direct GPIO control without level-shifting.
It integrates over-temperature shutdown (160 °C, 20 K hysteresis) and output current limiting (600 mA short-circuit current), while maintaining low-noise operation via internal bandgap reference and optimized error amplifier design - critical for analog sensor and RF supply rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 2.9 V ±3 % over −40 °C to +85 °C; ensures stable core voltage for 2.8–3.0 V logic domains. |
| Dropout voltage | 45 mV typical at 150 mA; enables operation with VIN as low as 2.945 V, maximizing battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| PSRR | 55 dB @ 1 kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding sensitive analog circuitry. |
| Output noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); meets low-noise requirements for ADC references and RF LNA biasing. |
| Quiescent current | 0.1 µA typical in shutdown (VEN ≤ 0.4 V); minimizes leakage current in always-on subsystems. |
| Start-up time | < 150 µs to 95 % of 2.9 V; supports fast wake-up sequences in portable devices with dynamic power states. |
| Thermal shutdown | 160 °C with 20 K hysteresis; protects against sustained overload or poor PCB thermal design without latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
LD6816CX4/29H,315 is housed in 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 array and Pb-free/RoHS-compliant construction.
| 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; requires ≥1.1 V to enable, ≤0.4 V to disable. |
| OUT (B1) | Regulated output | Delivers 2.9 V to load; exhibits high-ohmic (3-state) behavior when disabled - no auto-discharge required. |
| IN (B2) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V; requires local 1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor (ESR 5–500 mΩ) for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 45 mV @ 150 mA enables >98 % efficiency at light-to-moderate loads in space-constrained battery-powered designs. |
| Low-noise regulation | 30 µVRMS output noise supports precision analog circuits without external filtering overhead. |
| High-ohmic disable state | Output floats when disabled - eliminates unintended discharge paths in multi-rail systems requiring independent sequencing. |
| Integrated ESD protection | 10 kV HBM rating allows direct integration into handheld device front-end without external TVS diodes. |
| Miniature WLCSP4 footprint | 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm area reduces PCB real estate by >70 % vs. SOT-23 packages, enabling ultra-thin mobile form factors. |

FAQ
What is the nominal output voltage and tolerance of LD6816CX4/29H,315?
The LD6816CX4/29H,315 provides a fixed 2.9 V output with ±3 % tolerance over the full operating temperature range (−40 °C to +85 °C) and load current (1 mA to 150 mA). This accuracy is maintained without external feedback components, simplifying design for 2.8–3.0 V logic and analog supply rails.
Does LD6816CX4/29H,315 support auto-discharge functionality?
No, LD6816CX4/29H,315 does not include auto-discharge. As indicated by the "H" suffix, it enters a high-ohmic (3-state) output condition when disabled via the EN pin. For auto-discharge capability, select the "P" or "CxxP" variants (e.g., LD6816CX4/29P), which integrate a pull-down transistor.
What is the recommended output capacitor for LD6816CX4/29H,315?
The LD6816CX4/29H,315 requires a minimum 0.7 µF X7R ceramic capacitor at the OUT pin, with 1.0 µF recommended. Capacitor ESR must be between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ. This ensures stability, controls start-up/shutdown transients, and maintains PSRR performance across frequency.
Can LD6816CX4/29H,315 operate from a 2.5 V input supply?
Yes, LD6816CX4/29H,315 supports input voltages from 2.3 V to 5.5 V. With a 2.5 V input and 2.9 V output requirement, the device operates in dropout mode - delivering regulated 2.9 V only if VIN ≥ VOUT + VDO (i.e., ≥2.945 V). At 2.5 V input, output follows input minus dropout (≈2.455 V), not regulation.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum power dissipation of LD6816CX4/29H,315?
LD6816CX4/29H,315 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) of 130 K/W under standard two-layer PCB conditions. Maximum power dissipation is 770 mW at Tamb = 25 °C, derating linearly above that ambient. Full thermal performance depends on copper area and via count beneath the WLCSP4 package.
