Product details
Overview
LD6836TD/18P,125 from NXP Semiconductors is a 1.8 V fixed-output, 300 mA ultra-low-dropout linear regulator in SOT753 (SOT23-5 compatible) package, featuring 100 mV typical dropout at full load, 30 µV RMS 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 is deployed in power rails for mobile baseband processors and camera sensor modules.
For engineers reviewing the LD6836TD/18P,125 datasheet, LD6836TD/18P,125 pinout, LD6836TD/18P,125 application, or LD6836TD/18P,125 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, thermal behavior, enable timing, PSRR performance, and real-world design implications for portable low-noise LDO selection.
Technical Context
The LD6836TD/18P,125 implements a PMOS pass transistor architecture enabling ultra-low dropout (100 mV typ. @ 300 mA) and stable regulation down to 1.8 V output. Its internal reference and error amplifier deliver ±0.5% output accuracy at 25 °C and ±3% over −40 °C to +85 °C ambient.
It integrates active auto-discharge via a 100 Ω pull-down transistor on the OUT pin when disabled (EN < 0.4 V), ensuring rapid output voltage decay (300 µs typical shutdown time). The device includes over-temperature shutdown (160 °C) and current limiting (600 mA short-circuit protection).
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS7A0518PDBVR | Lower quiescent current (250 nA vs. 0.1 µA), same 1.8 V output, but no auto-discharge; SOT-23-5 package | Lacks integrated pull-down; requires external MOSFET or resistor network for discharge in always-on systems | Select when ultra-low IQ dominates over discharge speed; verify external discharge solution fits layout constraints |
| MCP1700T-1802E/MB | Higher dropout (178 mV @ 250 mA), same 1.8 V output, no enable pin or auto-discharge; SOT-23-3 package | Fixed ON operation only; unsuitable for power-gated subsystems requiring controlled sequencing | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-sequenced rails where enable control and fast discharge are unnecessary |

FAQ
What is the dropout voltage specification for LD6836TD/18P,125?
The LD6836TD/18P,125 has a typical dropout voltage of 100 mV at 300 mA output current, with a maximum of 200 mV across temperature and process variation. This allows reliable 1.8 V regulation from inputs as low as 1.9 V - essential for extending runtime in single-cell Li-ion systems where input voltage drops below 2.5 V during discharge.
Does LD6836TD/18P,125 include auto-discharge functionality?
Yes, LD6836TD/18P,125 includes an integrated pull-down transistor on the OUT pin that activates when the EN pin is driven LOW (<0.4 V), providing a 100 Ω low-ohmic path to GND. This achieves rapid output discharge in ~300 µs, eliminating residual voltage that could interfere with system reset or power sequencing - no external components required.
What is the recommended output capacitor for LD6836TD/18P,125?
The LD6836TD/18P,125 requires a minimum 0.7 µF X7R ceramic capacitor at the OUT pin, with ESR between 5 mΩ and 500 mΩ. A 1.0 µF capacitor is recommended for optimal stability and transient response. The capacitor must be placed within 2 mm of the OUT and GND pins to minimize inductance and ensure PSRR and noise performance meet datasheet specifications.
How does the PSRR of LD6836TD/18P,125 compare at different frequencies?
LD6836TD/18P,125 delivers 55 dB PSRR at 1 kHz, optimized for suppressing ripple from switching regulators. PSRR decreases at higher frequencies (e.g., ~35 dB at 100 kHz), reflecting its internal compensation design. For broadband noise suppression, pairing LD6836TD/18P,125 with a ferrite bead and bulk capacitor upstream is recommended - especially in mixed-signal SoC power domains.
Is LD6836TD/18P,125 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, LD6836TD/18P,125 is qualified for lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020C. Its SOT753 package has a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1 and withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C. Standard SnAgCu paste profiles with preheat (150–200 °C), soak (180–200 °C), and reflow (235–245 °C peak) are fully compatible - no special handling required beyond standard MSL-1 precautions.
