Product details
Overview
LD6816CX4/C25P from NXP Semiconductors is a 2.5 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/C25P datasheet, LD6816CX4/C25P pinout, LD6816CX4/C25P application, or LD6816CX4/C25P equivalent, this page provides verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed use cases in portable electronics, and two technically documented alternative parts with explicit functional and application-level distinctions.
Technical Context
The LD6816CX4/C25P implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (45 mV @ 150 mA) and fast start-up (<150 µs). Its enable input (active HIGH) controls both regulation and the integrated 100 Ω pull-down switch that actively discharges the output during disable-critical for system-level power sequencing in battery-powered applications.
It integrates over-temperature shutdown (160 °C trigger, 20 K hysteresis), current limiting (600 mA short-circuit), and 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz. The 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm WLCSP4 package uses 0.4 mm pitch solder bumps and supports reflow-only assembly per J-STD-020C MSL-1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 2.5 V ±2 % over −40 °C to +85 °C ambient; enables direct replacement of 2.5 V logic rails without external feedback. |
| Dropout voltage | 45 mV typical at 150 mA load; allows operation with VIN as low as 2.545 V, maximizing battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion 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 precision analog sensors and high-SNR audio codecs. |
| Quiescent current | 0.1 µA typical in shutdown (VEN ≤ 0.4 V); minimizes leakage current in always-on subsystems like real-time clocks. |
| 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. |
| Pull-down resistance | 100 Ω typical; ensures rapid discharge of 1 µF output capacitance in <300 µs, preventing floating states during power-down. |

| A2 (EN) | Active-HIGH enable input | Drives internal regulator and pull-down transistor; 0.1 µA shutdown current achieved when held ≤0.4 V. |
| B1 (OUT) | Regulated output voltage | Delivers 2.5 V to load; includes integrated 100 Ω pull-down to GND when EN = LOW for auto-discharge. |
| B2 (IN) | Input supply voltage | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V; requires ≥0.7 µF X7R ceramic capacitor with 5–500 mΩ ESR for stability. |

FAQ
What is the nominal output voltage and tolerance of the LD6816CX4/C25P?
The LD6816CX4/C25P provides a fixed 2.5 V output with ±2 % tolerance over −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature and 1 mA to 150 mA load current. This accuracy is maintained across input voltages from 2.3 V to 5.5 V and ensures compatibility with 2.5 V logic families without external trimming or feedback components.
Does the LD6816CX4/C25P include an auto-discharge function, and how does it operate?
Yes, the LD6816CX4/C25P includes an integrated auto-discharge function. When the EN pin is driven LOW, an internal 100 Ω pull-down transistor connects the OUT pin to GND, discharging external capacitors in under 300 µs. This eliminates floating outputs and simplifies power sequencing in multi-rail systems-no external resistor is needed.
What is the minimum recommended output capacitor for stable operation of the LD6816CX4/C25P?
The LD6816CX4/C25P requires a minimum 0.7 µF X7R ceramic capacitor at the OUT pin, with recommended value of 1.0 µF and ESR between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ. Using a 1.0 µF capacitor ensures stability across temperature and load, while also optimizing shutdown time and transient response performance.
How does the LD6816CX4/C25P compare to standard LDOs in terms of dropout voltage and efficiency?
The LD6816CX4/C25P achieves 45 mV typical dropout at 150 mA-less than one-third the dropout of conventional LDOs. At 2.5 V output, this allows operation from as low as 2.545 V input, increasing usable battery capacity by up to 12 % in single-cell Li-ion systems compared to LDOs with 150+ mV dropout.
Is the LD6816CX4/C25P RoHS-compliant and suitable for lead-free reflow assembly?
Yes, the LD6816CX4/C25P is Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, halogen- and antimony-free (dark green compliant), and qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020C. Its WLCSP4 package has a peak reflow temperature rating of 260 °C (MSL-1), supporting standard Pb-free manufacturing processes without moisture baking.
