Product details
Overview
LD6836CX4/28P,315 from NXP Semiconductors is a 2.8 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 integrated auto-discharge (pull-down) functionality for rapid output discharge during disable. It serves as a precision power rail for low-voltage analog/digital circuitry in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the LD6836CX4/28P,315 datasheet, LD6836CX4/28P,315 pinout, LD6836CX4/28P,315 application, or LD6836CX4/28P,315 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, WLCSP4 terminal mapping, thermal and noise performance data, real-world use cases in mobile devices, and validated alternative parts with functional and application-level distinctions.
Technical Context
The LD6836CX4/28P,315 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (90 mV typ. at 300 mA) and high PSRR (−55 dB at 1 kHz). Its enable input (active HIGH, VIH ≥ 1.1 V) controls operation with 150 µs startup time and integrates over-temperature shutdown (160 °C) and current limiting (600 mA short-circuit).
As a pull-down variant ('P' suffix), it includes an internal 100 Ω output-stage switching transistor that actively discharges the output to ground upon disable-critical for systems requiring fast rail collapse and leakage control. The device operates across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient and supports stable regulation with 0.7–1.0 µF X7R ceramic output capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 2.8 V ±3% over −30 °C to +85 °C; ensures stable bias for 2.8 V logic, RF front-ends, or sensor interfaces without external feedback. |
| Dropout voltage | 90 mV typical at 300 mA; enables regulation from 2.89 V input, maximizing battery runtime in single-cell Li-ion (2.9–4.2 V) or Li-polymer systems. |
| PSRR | −55 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters, preserving signal integrity in ADCs and audio codecs. |
| Output noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); low enough for noise-sensitive analog rails (e.g., PLL VCO supplies, precision op-amp references). |
| Quiescent current | 0.1 µA typical in shutdown (VEN ≤ 0.4 V); minimizes standby power loss in always-on subsystems like RTC or wake-up controllers. |
| Enable threshold | VIL ≤ 0.4 V / VIH ≥ 1.1 V; compatible with 1.8 V and 3.3 V GPIOs without level-shifting, simplifying host MCU interface design. |
| Pull-down resistance | 100 Ω typical; discharges 1 µF load to 10% of 2.8 V in ≤300 µs, meeting fast-power-down requirements in mobile SoC power sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
LD6836CX4/28P,315 uses a 4-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP4) with 0.4 mm pitch and footprint 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm. Bumps are arranged in a 2×2 grid; bump A1 is index-marked (laser-marked 'Q' per Table 15 for 2.8 V P-version).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Supply ground reference | Primary return path for load current and internal bias; must connect to low-impedance ground plane to maintain PSRR and thermal stability. |
| EN | Active-HIGH enable input | Controls regulator state; driven HIGH (>1.1 V) to enable output; pulled LOW (<0.4 V) to disable and activate auto-discharge. |
| OUT | Regulated output voltage | Delivers 2.8 V to load; requires 0.7–1.0 µF X7R ceramic capacitor with ESR 5–500 mΩ for stability and transient response. |
| IN | Input voltage supply | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V; must be decoupled with ≥0.7 µF ceramic capacitor close to IN pin to suppress input ripple and prevent oscillation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 90 mV at 300 mA enables operation from near-output input voltages, extending usable battery range in portable devices. |
| Auto-discharge function | Integrated 100 Ω pull-down transistor ensures rapid, controlled output discharge on disable-eliminating need for external bleed resistors. |
| Low-noise regulation | 30 µVRMS output noise supports clean power for RF ICs, high-resolution ADCs, and precision analog sensors without added filtering. |
| High PSRR | −55 dB at 1 kHz rejects noise from noisy switchers, reducing need for additional LC filtering stages and PCB area. |
| Robust protection | Includes over-temperature shutdown (160 °C, 20 K hysteresis) and current limiting (600 mA), preventing damage during fault conditions. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LD6836CX4/28H | Same WLCSP4 package and 2.8 V output, but high-ohmic (3-state) output on disable-no auto-discharge. | Suitable where output must float during shutdown (e.g., shared-bus systems), but unsuitable when rapid rail collapse is required. | Select LD6836CX4/28H only if system design explicitly prohibits output discharge; otherwise LD6836CX4/28P,315 is preferred for power sequencing control. |
| Torex XC6210B282MR-G | 2.8 V, 300 mA WLCSP (0.8 mm × 0.8 mm), 150 mV dropout, 45 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, no integrated pull-down. | Larger footprint (0.8 mm vs. 0.76 mm), higher dropout reduces battery efficiency; requires external discharge circuit for equivalent functionality. | Use XC6210B282MR-G only if NXP's LD6836CX4/28P,315 is unavailable; expect 5% lower runtime and added BOM cost for external discharge resistor. |
Compared with LD6836CX4/28H and XC6210B282MR-G, the LD6836CX4/28P,315 uniquely combines minimal footprint, lowest dropout, highest PSRR, and integrated auto-discharge-making it optimal for battery-powered portable designs demanding both efficiency and precise power sequencing.

FAQ
What is the nominal output voltage and tolerance of the LD6836CX4/28P,315?
The LD6836CX4/28P,315 provides a fixed 2.8 V output with ±3% tolerance over −30 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature. This accuracy is guaranteed under 1 mA load and accounts for line, load, and temperature variations as specified in Table 12 of the NXP datasheet. The '28' in the part number explicitly denotes the 2.8 V output version.
Does the LD6836CX4/28P,315 include auto-discharge functionality, and how does it work?
Yes, the LD6836CX4/28P,315 includes integrated auto-discharge via an internal 100 Ω pull-down transistor on the OUT pin. When the EN pin is driven LOW (<0.4 V), the regulator disables and actively pulls the output to ground, discharging a 1 µF load to 10% of 2.8 V within 300 µs. This eliminates external discharge components and ensures safe, fast power-down sequencing.
What are the recommended external capacitors for stable operation of the LD6836CX4/28P,315?
The LD6836CX4/28P,315 requires a minimum 0.7 µF X7R ceramic capacitor on the OUT pin (typical 1.0 µF), with ESR between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ, and a ≥0.7 µF ceramic capacitor on the IN pin. These values ensure loop stability, adequate transient response, and compliance with the device's dynamic behavior as characterized in Figures 13–16 of the datasheet.
What is the thermal resistance and maximum power dissipation of the LD6836CX4/28P,315 in its WLCSP4 package?
The LD6836CX4/28P,315 has a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) of 130 K/W on a standard two-layer PCB. Its absolute maximum total power dissipation is 770 mW at Tamb = 25 °C. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient-e.g., at 85 °C ambient, max dissipation drops to ~450 mW based on the 130 K/W thermal coefficient.
How does the LD6836CX4/28P,315 compare to the SOT753-packaged LD6836TD/28P in terms of performance and layout?
The LD6836CX4/28P,315 and LD6836TD/28P share identical electrical specs (2.8 V, 300 mA, 90/100 mV dropout), but differ critically in package: WLCSP4 (0.76 mm × 0.76 mm) vs. SOT753 (3.1 mm × 2.7 mm). The LD6836CX4/28P,315 saves >95% board area and enables direct placement under SoCs or sensors, while the SOT753 offers easier manual assembly and higher thermal mass for higher-power scenarios.
