Product details
Overview
PT7M8216B12XZEX from Pericom Semiconductor is a 300mA, high-PSRR low-dropout regulator with 2.8V fixed output voltage, 150mV dropout at 150mA, ±2% initial accuracy, and stable operation with 0.47µF ceramic output capacitors. It delivers precision power to noise-sensitive RF and digital baseband circuits in compact portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the PT7M8216B12XZEX datasheet, PT7M8216B12XZEX pinout, PT7M8216B12XZEX application, or PT7M8216B12XZEX equivalent, key selection criteria include its 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, 36µA quiescent current, thermal shutdown (170°C), auto output discharge, and UDFN-4L 1mm×1mm package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The PT7M8216B12XZEX integrates a P-channel MOSFET pass element, error amplifier with internal phase compensation, reference voltage source, and protection circuitry including current limit (400mA) and thermal shutdown. Its architecture enables stability with ultra-low-ESR 0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors on both input and output.
EN pin control is high-active with VENH ≥1.2V and VENL ≤0.3V; standby current drops to 0.05µA when EN = GND. Output voltage accuracy is maintained across –40°C to +85°C ambient via ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient and ±2% initial tolerance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | 2.8V fixed - factory-trimmed for precision biasing of RF transceivers and core logic without external feedback. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA - sufficient to power dual-core application processors or multi-rail PMIC subsystems in handheld devices. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV @ 150mA - enables regulation from 2.95V input down to 2.8V output, critical for battery-powered systems near end-of-discharge. |
| PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding adjacent analog/RF blocks. |
| Quiescent Current | 36µA - minimizes battery drain during sleep modes in always-on sensor or connectivity ICs. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - validated for consumer-grade mobile and industrial edge node environments. |
| Output Accuracy | ±2% initial - ensures reliable startup and stable operation of voltage-sensitive peripherals like image sensors and ADCs. |
Pinout & Package
PT7M8216B12XZEX is housed in a Pb-free, green-compliant 4-pin UDFN-4L package measuring 1.0mm × 1.0mm × 0.5mm (max height), optimized for high-density portable PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VOUT | Regulator output | Delivers regulated 2.8V; requires 0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of pin for stability and transient response. |
| 2 - GND | Power ground | Primary return path for load current and internal bias; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| 3 - EN | Enable control input | High-active logic interface (1.2V min high, 0.3V max low); drives internal P-MOSFET gate to enable/disable output. |
| 4 - VIN | Input supply | Accepts 1.7V–5.5V input; bypassed with 0.47µF ceramic capacitor to GND to suppress supply ripple and prevent oscillation. |
| 5 - NC | No-connect terminal | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND for mechanical stability and EMI reduction, though floating is acceptable. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stable with 0.47µF ceramic capacitors | Eliminates need for large tantalum or aluminum electrolytic caps-reduces board area by >60% and improves reliability over temperature. |
| Auto output discharge | Internal 50Ω discharge path activates when EN = low, ensuring rapid VOUT decay to prevent latch-up or back-powering of upstream circuitry. |
| Low noise (60µVrms) | Enables clean power delivery to PLLs, VCOs, and high-resolution ADCs without requiring additional filtering stages. |
| Thermal shutdown + current limit | Protects against sustained overload or PCB-level thermal runaway-shuts down at 170°C with 20°C hysteresis for safe recovery. |
| High PSRR (75dB @ 1kHz) | Maintains output integrity when co-located with noisy DC-DC converters, enabling single-supply partitioning in RF front-end modules. |
Applications
| Mobile Baseband Power | RF Transceiver Bias |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LDO regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Torex XC6219B282MR-G | Same 2.8V output, 300mA rating, but 250mV dropout @ 150mA and 50µA IQ; UDFN-4 1.0×1.0mm package. | Lacks auto output discharge and has lower PSRR (65dB @ 1kHz); suitable where cost sensitivity outweighs noise performance. | Select when board-level discharge is handled externally and PSRR >70dB is not required for RF sections. |
| Richtek RT9013-28GB | 2.8V, 300mA, 200mV dropout @ 150mA, 45µA IQ, 70dB PSRR @ 1kHz; SOT-23-5 package (larger footprint). | Includes EN pin but no auto discharge; higher thermal resistance due to SOT-23 package limits continuous 300mA in confined spaces. | Prefer when existing layout uses SOT-23 footprints and thermal derating to 200mA is acceptable. |
Compared with XC6219B282MR-G and RT9013-28GB, PT7M8216B12XZEX offers superior PSRR and integrated discharge functionality in the smallest footprint-critical for next-gen ultra-thin mobile designs where noise margin and board area are constrained.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for stable 2.8V output at 300mA?
The PT7M8216B12XZEX requires VIN ≥ VOUT + VDROPOUT. At 300mA, dropout rises to ~220mV (extrapolated from 150mV @ 150mA and typical curve slope). Thus, minimum VIN is 3.02V. Operation below this causes output collapse or current limiting.
Can the NC pin be left floating without affecting performance?
Yes-the NC pin is internally unconnected and may float per datasheet guidance. However, tying it to GND improves mechanical anchoring and reduces potential EMI coupling; no electrical penalty exists for either choice.
Is an input capacitor mandatory, and what value is recommended?
Yes-an input capacitor is mandatory for stability and noise suppression. A 0.47µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor placed within 2mm of VIN and GND pins is specified and validated. Omitting it risks oscillation under load transients.
How does the auto output discharge function interact with system power sequencing?
When EN is pulled low, the internal 50Ω discharge path activates, pulling VOUT to GND in ~1.5ms (calculated from 0.47µF × 50Ω). This prevents back-powering of upstream regulators or latch-up in powered-down logic, simplifying multi-rail sequencing.
