Product details
Overview
LD6816CX4/C23P,315 from NXP Semiconductors is a 2.3 V fixed-output, 150 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in WLCSP4 package with auto-discharge function (integrated pull-down transistor), 45 mV dropout at full load, 30 µVRMS output noise, and 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz-designed for powering core logic and RF circuitry in space-constrained mobile devices.
For engineers reviewing the LD6816CX4/C23P,315 datasheet, LD6816CX4/C23P,315 pinout, LD6816CX4/C23P,315 application, or LD6816CX4/C23P,315 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm WLCSP footprint, enable-controlled shutdown with 300 µs discharge time, ±3% output voltage accuracy over −40 °C to +85 °C, and compatibility with 1.0 µF X7R ceramic output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LD6816CX4/C23P,315 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout operation and fast transient response. Its internal bandgap reference, error amplifier, and thermal/overcurrent protection circuitry operate independently of input voltage variations between 2.3 V and 5.5 V.
Unlike high-impedance disable variants, this part integrates a dedicated pull-down switch (Rpd = 100 Ω typical) on the OUT pin, ensuring rapid discharge of downstream capacitance during shutdown-critical for power sequencing in multi-rail portable systems.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.3 V ±3% over −40 °C to +85 °C; enables direct powering of 2.3 V I/O domains without external feedback. |
| Dropout Voltage | 45 mV typical at 150 mA; allows regulation from 2.345 V input, maximizing battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion/Li-poly systems. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses switching noise from adjacent DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input rail. |
| Output Noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); meets low-noise requirements for RF transceivers and precision analog sensors. |
| 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. |

FAQ
What is the nominal output voltage of the LD6816CX4/C23P,315?
The LD6816CX4/C23P,315 provides a fixed nominal output voltage of 2.3 V, with guaranteed accuracy of ±3% across the full operating temperature range of −40 °C to +85 °C and load currents from 1 mA to 150 mA. This value is laser-marked as "L" on the WLCSP die per Table 13 of the datasheet, confirming its C23P variant designation.
Does the LD6816CX4/C23P,315 include an auto-discharge function?
Yes, the LD6816CX4/C23P,315 integrates an active pull-down transistor on the OUT pin, providing low-ohmic discharge (Rpd = 100 Ω typical) during shutdown. This auto-discharge function ensures the output voltage falls to 10% of nominal within 300 µs after EN is deasserted-critical for reliable power sequencing in multi-rail portable systems.
What package type and dimensions does the LD6816CX4/C23P,315 use?
The LD6816CX4/C23P,315 is housed in a wafer-level chip-scale package with backside coating (WLCSP4), measuring 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm with 0.4 mm bump pitch. Its compact size and solder-ball terminations enable ultra-high-density PCB layouts, and the backside coating improves mechanical integrity and moisture resistance.
What is the recommended output capacitor for stable operation of the LD6816CX4/C23P,315?
The LD6816CX4/C23P,315 requires a minimum 0.7 µF ceramic output capacitor, with 1.0 µF X7R recommended for full temperature range (−40 °C to +125 °C) stability. The capacitor must have ESR between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ and be placed within 2 mm of the OUT and GND pins to ensure loop stability and optimal transient response.
How does the LD6816CX4/C23P,315 achieve ultra-low dropout performance?
The LD6816CX4/C23P,315 achieves a typical dropout voltage of 45 mV at 150 mA by using a PMOS pass transistor architecture, which eliminates gate-drive overhead inherent in NMOS-based LDOs. This design allows regulation down to VIN = VOUT + 45 mV, enabling extended battery life in single-cell Li-ion systems where input voltage can sag below 2.5 V.
