Product details
Overview
LD6836CX4/29H,315 from NXP Semiconductors is a 2.9 V fixed-output, 300 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in a 0.4 mm pitch WLCSP4 package (0.76 × 0.76 × 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 LD6836CX4/29H,315 datasheet, LD6836CX4/29H,315 pinout, LD6836CX4/29H,315 application, or LD6836CX4/29H,315 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2.9 V nominal output, WLCSP4 footprint compatibility with space-constrained PCBs, enable-input threshold (VIH = 1.1 V), thermal shutdown at 160 °C, and PSRR of −55 dB at 1 kHz - all critical for low-noise analog supply rails in battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The LD6836CX4/29H,315 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (90 mV typ. at 300 mA), precise 2.9 V output regulation (±0.5% at +25 °C), and fast 150 µs startup time. Its internal bandgap reference and error amplifier ensure stable operation across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature.
It integrates over-temperature protection (160 °C trip, 20 K hysteresis), output current limiting (600 mA short-circuit), and 10 kV HBM ESD protection. The high-ohmic disable state eliminates output leakage paths, supporting clean system-level power sequencing in multi-rail mobile SoC designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output voltage | Fixed 2.9 V ±0.5% at +25 °C; supports precision analog circuitry without external feedback components. |
| Dropout voltage | 90 mV typical at 300 mA; enables >97% efficiency at VIN = 3.0 V, extending battery runtime in 3.3 V rail-down applications. |
| PSRR | −55 dB at 1 kHz; suppresses switching noise from upstream DC-DC converters feeding sensitive RF or audio subsystems. |
| Output noise | 30 µVRMS (10 Hz–100 kHz); meets low-noise requirements for ADC references and PLL VCO supplies. |
| Quiescent current | 0.1 µA typical in shutdown (VEN ≤ 0.4 V); minimizes standby power loss in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Enable threshold | VIH = 1.1 V min, VIL = 0.4 V max; compatible with 1.8 V GPIO logic without level-shifting. |
| Thermal resistance | Rth(j-a) = 130 K/W; requires minimal copper pour for thermal management in compact handheld layouts. |
Pinout & Package
LD6836CX4/29H,315 uses a 4-bump Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP4) with 0.4 mm pitch and dimensions 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm. Bump layout follows 2×2 grid with index area marking bump A1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Supply ground | Primary return path for output current and internal bias; must connect to solid ground plane for noise and thermal performance. |
| EN | Device enable input (active HIGH) | Controls regulator ON/OFF state; VIH ≥ 1.1 V enables output; VIL ≤ 0.4 V forces high-ohmic disable. |
| OUT | Regulator output voltage | Delivers regulated 2.9 V; requires ≥0.7 µF X7R ceramic capacitor (ESR 5–500 mΩ) for stability. |
| IN | Regulator input voltage | Accepts 2.3–5.5 V input; must be decoupled with ≥0.7 µF capacitor close to pin to suppress ripple and transient spikes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low dropout | 90 mV at 300 mA enables operation from single-cell Li-ion (3.0 V min) while maintaining 2.9 V output. |
| Low-noise regulation | 30 µVRMS output noise ensures clean power for noise-sensitive analog blocks like RF transceivers. |
| High-ohmic disable | Output enters 3-state (high-Z) mode when disabled - prevents back-powering or loading of downstream circuits. |
| Integrated protection | Thermal shutdown (160 °C), current limiting (600 mA), and 10 kV HBM ESD protect against real-world board-level stress. |
| Miniaturized packaging | WLCSP4 footprint (0.76 × 0.76 mm) reduces PCB area by >70% vs. SOT753, ideal for ultra-thin mobile devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LD6836CX4/29P | Same 2.9 V output and WLCSP4 package, but includes integrated pull-down transistor for auto-discharge during disable. | Required where rapid output discharge is needed (e.g., multi-voltage domain sequencing, safety-critical reset). | Select LD6836CX4/29P if downstream circuitry must actively pull OUT to GND upon disable; otherwise LD6836CX4/29H,315's high-Z state is preferred for isolation. |
| LD6836TD/29H | SOT753 (5-pin) package instead of WLCSP4; higher Rth(j-a) (125 K/W vs. 130 K/W); 100 mV dropout (typ.) at 300 mA. | Suitable for prototyping or cost-sensitive designs where PCB area is less constrained and reflow process supports larger SMD packages. | Choose LD6836TD/29H for hand-soldering feasibility or legacy board compatibility; LD6836CX4/29H,315 is optimal for miniaturized production designs. |
Compared with LD6836CX4/29P, LD6836CX4/29H,315 offers superior isolation in shutdown but lacks auto-discharge; versus LD6836TD/29H, it delivers smaller footprint and lower dropout at the cost of tighter assembly requirements - making it the preferred choice for volume-manufactured portable electronics demanding maximum integration density.

FAQ
What is the nominal output voltage of the LD6836CX4/29H,315?
The LD6836CX4/29H,315 delivers a fixed nominal output voltage of 2.9 V, with initial accuracy of ±0.5% at +25 °C and ±3% over the full −40 °C to +85 °C operating temperature range. This tight tolerance eliminates need for external trimming and ensures reliable operation of 2.8–3.0 V logic and analog circuits.
Does the LD6836CX4/29H,315 support active-high enable control?
Yes, the LD6836CX4/29H,315 features an active-HIGH enable input (EN pin) with VIH minimum of 1.1 V and VIL maximum of 0.4 V, fully compatible with 1.8 V GPIO standards. When EN is pulled below 0.4 V, the device enters shutdown with 0.1 µA quiescent current and high-ohmic output state.
What package type is used for the LD6836CX4/29H,315?
The LD6836CX4/29H,315 is housed in a Wafer-Level Chip-Scale Package (WLCSP4) with 2×2 bump array, 0.4 mm pitch, and overall dimensions of 0.76 mm × 0.76 mm × 0.47 mm - optimized for ultra-dense PCB layouts in smartphones and wearables.
What is the dropout voltage specification for the LD6836CX4/29H,315 at full load?
The LD6836CX4/29H,315 exhibits a typical dropout voltage of 90 mV at 300 mA output current, with a maximum of 160 mV across temperature and process variation. This allows operation from as low as 3.0 V input while sustaining 2.9 V output - critical for single-cell Li-ion battery systems.
How does the LD6836CX4/29H,315 handle thermal overload conditions?
The LD6836CX4/29H,315 incorporates integrated over-temperature protection that disables the output when junction temperature reaches 160 °C, with 20 K hysteresis to prevent oscillation. Recovery occurs automatically once temperature falls below 140 °C, ensuring safe operation under sustained high-load or poor heatsinking conditions.
