Product details
Overview
LD6836CX4/16H,315 from NXP Semiconductors is a 1.6 V fixed-output, 300 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in a 0.4 mm pitch WLCSP4 package (0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm), featuring 90 mV dropout at full load, 30 µVRMS output noise (10 Hz–100 kHz), and high-ohmic (3-state) output during disable - designed for power-sensitive mobile interfaces in smartphones and portable media players.
For engineers reviewing the LD6836CX4/16H,315 datasheet, LD6836CX4/16H,315 pinout, LD6836CX4/16H,315 application, or LD6836CX4/16H,315 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1.6 V fixed output, 2.3–5.5 V input range, 150 µs startup time, 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, and thermal shutdown at 160 °C - all validated for miniaturized battery-powered systems requiring low-noise, low-quiescent-current regulation.
Technical Context
The LD6836CX4/16H,315 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (90 mV @ 300 mA) and stable operation with only 0.7 µF external output capacitance. Its enable pin (active HIGH, VIH ≥ 1.1 V) controls a high-ohmic output state when disabled, eliminating residual leakage paths in sleep mode.
Internally integrated over-temperature protection (160 °C shutdown with 20 K hysteresis) and output current limiting (600 mA short-circuit current) ensure robustness in thermally constrained portable designs. The device meets 10 kV HBM ESD rating and operates across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 1.6 V ±3 % over −30 °C to +85 °C - ensures stable core logic supply without external feedback components. |
| Dropout voltage | 90 mV typical at 300 mA - enables operation down to VIN = 1.69 V, maximizing battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems. |
| Quiescent current | 0.1 µA typical in shutdown (VEN ≤ 0.4 V) - minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems. |
| PSRR | 55 dB at 1 kHz - suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding the LDO input. |
| Output noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz) - supports noise-sensitive analog circuits like ADCs and RF front-ends. |
| Startup time | 150 µs to 95 % of 1.6 V - enables fast wake-up from deep-sleep states in mobile SoC power domains. |
| Thermal resistance | 130 K/W (junction-to-ambient) - requires minimal PCB copper area for thermal management in compact layouts. |
Pinout & Package
LD6836CX4/16H,315 uses a 4-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP4) with 0.4 mm pitch and footprint 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm. Bump layout follows 2×2 grid with index area marking bump A1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Supply ground | Reference node for all internal circuitry; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| EN | Enable input (active HIGH) | Logic-level control: ≥1.1 V enables regulation; ≤0.4 V disables output into high-ohmic state. |
| OUT | Regulator output voltage | Delivers regulated 1.6 V; requires ≥0.7 µF X7R ceramic capacitor for stability. |
| IN | Regulator input voltage | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V; decoupling capacitor recommended to suppress input ripple. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 90 mV at 300 mA enables >94 % efficiency at 1.6 V output from 2.3 V input - critical for extending battery life. |
| Low-noise regulation | 30 µVRMS output noise supports precision analog signal chains without additional filtering. |
| High-ohmic disable | Output floats (not pulled) when disabled - prevents unintended loading of downstream circuits during sleep. |
| Integrated protection | Over-temperature shutdown (160 °C) and current limiting (600 mA) eliminate need for external fault management. |
| Miniature packaging | 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm WLCSP4 footprint saves >70 % board area vs. SOT753 - ideal for space-constrained mobile PCBs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LD6836CX4/16P | Same 1.6 V output and WLCSP4 package, but includes pull-down transistor for auto-discharge during disable. | Required where rapid output discharge is needed (e.g., multi-rail sequencing), not suitable if floating output is mandatory. | Select LD6836CX4/16P only when active discharge is required; LD6836CX4/16H,315 is preferred for zero-leakage sleep states. |
| LD6836TD/16H | SOT753 (5-pin) package, 100 mV typical dropout, 125 K/W thermal resistance, same 1.6 V output and high-ohmic disable behavior. | Used where manual rework, test probing, or higher thermal mass is acceptable; not suitable for ultra-dense layouts. | Choose LD6836TD/16H for prototyping or cost-sensitive non-miniaturized designs; LD6836CX4/16H,315 is optimal for production-scale mobile devices. |
Compared with LD6836CX4/16P, LD6836CX4/16H,315 avoids output discharge leakage but sacrifices auto-reset capability; versus LD6836TD/16H, it delivers 20 % smaller footprint and 4 % lower dropout at the cost of reduced thermal margin and no test pads.

FAQ
What is the nominal output voltage of the LD6836CX4/16H,315?
The LD6836CX4/16H,315 delivers a fixed nominal output voltage of 1.6 V, with ±3 % tolerance over −30 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature and ±0.5 % at +25 °C. This value is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and does not require external resistive feedback - ensuring consistent performance across production lots without calibration.
Does the LD6836CX4/16H,315 support active discharge during shutdown?
No, the LD6836CX4/16H,315 does not provide active discharge. It features a high-ohmic (3-state) output when disabled via the EN pin, meaning the OUT terminal floats rather than being pulled to GND. For auto-discharge functionality, use the LD6836CX4/16P variant, which integrates a pull-down transistor.
What is the minimum external output capacitance required for stable operation of the LD6836CX4/16H,315?
The LD6836CX4/16H,315 requires a minimum external output capacitance of 0.7 µF, with X7R dielectric recommended to maintain stability across −40 °C to +125 °C. The specified capacitor tolerance is ±30 % or better, and ESR must be between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ to ensure phase margin and prevent oscillation.
Can the LD6836CX4/16H,315 operate from a 2.0 V input supply?
No - the LD6836CX4/16H,315 has a minimum input voltage of 2.3 V per its absolute operating conditions. At 1.6 V output, a 2.0 V input falls below the required headroom (VIN ≥ VOUT + VDO ≈ 1.69 V), but more critically violates the 2.3 V lower limit for internal reference and control circuitry operation.
Is the LD6836CX4/16H,315 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the LD6836CX4/16H,315 is fully RoHS-compliant and halogen-free, meeting NXP's "dark green" compliance standard - meaning it contains no brominated flame retardants, antimony trioxide, or other restricted halogenated compounds, and is lead-free per JEDEC J-STD-020.
