Product details
Overview
LD6816CX4/33P,315 from NXP Semiconductors is a 3.3 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-optimized for power-sensitive mobile interfaces in smartphones and portable media players.
For engineers reviewing the LD6816CX4/33P,315 datasheet, LD6816CX4/33P,315 pinout, LD6816CX4/33P,315 application, or LD6816CX4/33P,315 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm WLCSP footprint, active-HIGH enable input, guaranteed 3.3 V ±2% output accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C, and integrated thermal/overcurrent protection.
Technical Context
The LD6816CX4/33P,315 employs a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout voltage and stable operation with only 1.0 µF ceramic output capacitance. Its internal reference generator and feedback network ensure tight output regulation across line (±0.1 %/V) and load (0.0025 %/mA) variations.
Unlike high-ohmic disable variants (e.g., /xxH), this /xxP version integrates a dedicated pull-down transistor (Rpd = 100 Ω typical) that actively discharges the output during shutdown-critical for systems requiring rapid rail collapse and leakage control in battery-powered standby modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 3.3 V ±2% over −40 °C to +85 °C; enables direct replacement of standard 3.3 V logic rails without external resistors. |
| Dropout Voltage | 45 mV typical at 150 mA; allows operation with VIN as low as 3.345 V, extending 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 analog or RF circuitry. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); supports low-noise analog sensors, ADC references, and RF front-end biasing without added filtering. |
| 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. |
| Shutdown Current | 0.1 µA typical; reduces system quiescent power in deep-sleep states for multi-day battery life in IoT endpoints. |
| Start-up Time | <150 µs to 95% of 3.3 V; meets fast wake-up timing requirements in responsive user-interface subsystems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP4), 0.4 mm pitch, 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm body size with solder bumps on bottom surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (A1) | Supply ground reference | Primary return path for regulator current; must connect to solid PCB ground plane for thermal and noise performance. |
| EN (A2) | Active-HIGH enable input | Drives internal pass transistor; logic HIGH ≥1.1 V enables regulation; LOW ≤0.4 V disables with auto-discharge active. |
| OUT (B1) | Regulated output voltage | Delivers stable 3.3 V to load; includes internal pull-down transistor (100 Ω typ.) for rapid discharge when disabled. |
| IN (B2) | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.3 V to 5.5 V; requires local 1.0 µF X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2 mm of pin for stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-discharge function | Integrated 100 Ω pull-down transistor ensures controlled output discharge during shutdown-eliminates need for external bleeder resistors in space-constrained designs. |
| Ultra-low noise output | 30 µVRMS noise floor enables clean power for precision analog circuits without additional LDO post-regulation stages. |
| High PSRR at low frequency | 55 dB rejection at 1 kHz mitigates ripple from buck converter switching frequencies and their harmonics in mixed-signal SoC power domains. |
| Thermal & overcurrent protection | Automatic shutdown at 160 °C junction temperature with 20 K hysteresis; current limit prevents damage during short-circuit or overload events. |
| ESD robustness | 10 kV HBM rating protects against handling damage during SMT assembly and field operation in handheld consumer devices. |

FAQ
What is the output voltage tolerance of the LD6816CX4/33P,315 over temperature?
The LD6816CX4/33P,315 guarantees ±2% output voltage accuracy over the full operating ambient temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C at 1 mA load. At +25 °C, the tolerance tightens to ±0.5%, ensuring precise 3.3 V regulation for logic and analog circuits requiring stable reference levels. This specification is confirmed in Table 9 of the NXP datasheet Rev. 1.
Does the LD6816CX4/33P,315 require an external output capacitor, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the LD6816CX4/33P,315 requires a minimum 0.7 µF external ceramic output capacitor, with 1.0 µF recommended for optimal stability and transient response. NXP specifies X7R dielectric capacitors rated for −40 °C to +125 °C, with ESR between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ. The capacitor must be placed within 2 mm of the OUT and GND pins to maintain loop stability and minimize noise coupling.
How does the auto-discharge function of the LD6816CX4/33P,315 operate during shutdown?
When the EN pin is driven LOW, the LD6816CX4/33P,315 activates an internal 100 Ω (typical) pull-down transistor between OUT and GND, rapidly discharging the output capacitance. Shutdown time to 10% of nominal voltage is typically 300 µs with a 1.0 µF load. This eliminates reliance on external bleed resistors and ensures predictable power-rail collapse for system-level sequencing and leakage control.
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LD6816CX4/33P,315, and what happens beyond that limit?
The absolute maximum input voltage for the LD6816CX4/33P,315 is +6.0 V for transients up to 4 ms, per Table 6 of the datasheet. Continuous operation above 5.5 V violates recommended conditions and risks permanent damage. Exceeding +6.0 V-even briefly-may trigger irreversible latch-up or junction breakdown due to internal ESD protection diode conduction, potentially degrading or destroying the LD6816CX4/33P,315.
Is the LD6816CX4/33P,315 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the LD6816CX4/33P,315 is fully RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, meeting NXP's "dark green" compliance standard. It contains no lead, bromine, chlorine, antimony, or other restricted substances per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and IEC 61249-2-21. This is explicitly stated in Section 1.2 of the product data sheet and verified in the manufacturer's material declarations.
