Product details
Overview
PT7M8216B25XZEX from Pericom Semiconductor is a 2.5V fixed-output, 300mA low-dropout linear regulator in a 1mm×1mm UDFN-4L package, featuring 150mV dropout at 150mA, ±2% initial output accuracy, 75dB PSRR at 1kHz, and auto output discharge. It operates from 1.7V to 5.5V input and delivers stable power to noise-sensitive RF and baseband circuits in compact portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the PT7M8216B25XZEX datasheet, PT7M8216B25XZEX pinout, PT7M8216B25XZEX application, or PT7M8216B25XZEX equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-small footprint compatibility, high PSRR for RF supply filtering, tight DC accuracy under load/temperature, and EN-controlled sequencing in multi-rail mobile SoC power systems.
Technical Context
The PT7M8216B25XZEX integrates a P-channel MOSFET pass element, precision bandgap reference, error amplifier with internal phase compensation, and thermal shutdown (170°C) plus current limit (400mA) protection. Its architecture enables stability with only 0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors on input and output.
EN pin logic is high-active with 1.2V threshold; standby current drops to 0.05µA when disabled. Output discharge resistance is 50Ω, ensuring rapid VOUT decay after shutdown-critical for safe power-down sequencing in battery-powered devices.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 2.5V ±2% initial accuracy ensures reliable biasing of ADC references and RF ICs without external trimming. |
| Max Output Current | 300mA guaranteed supports core logic rails in smartphones, PMIC companion LDOs, and camera sensor interfaces. |
| Dropout Voltage | 150mV @ 150mA (VOUT=2.8V) - actual measured value for 2.5V variant is ≤165mV, enabling >93% efficiency at 3.3V input. |
| PSRR | 75dB @ 1kHz - suppresses switching noise from DC-DC converters feeding adjacent analog/RF blocks. |
| Quiescent Current | 36µA typical - minimizes battery drain during idle states in always-on sensors and Bluetooth LE subsystems. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - validated across industrial-grade mobile and automotive infotainment ambient conditions. |
| Capacitor Support | Stable with 0.47µF ceramic (X5R/X7R) - eliminates need for larger, higher-ESR tantalum or aluminum electrolytics. |
Pinout & Package
PT7M8216B25XZEX is housed in a Pb-free, green-compliant 4-pin UDFN package measuring 1.0mm × 1.0mm × 0.5mm (max). The bottom-exposed thermal pad improves thermal resistance and requires solder connection to PCB ground plane for optimal power dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 4) | Input Supply | Accepts 1.7–5.5V; must be bypassed with 0.47µF ceramic capacitor close to pin to suppress high-frequency noise and ensure transient stability. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power Ground | Primary return path for load current and internal bias; connects to thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation and low-noise reference. |
| EN (Pin 3) | Enable Control | High-active digital input (1.2V min high threshold); floating or open-circuit increases quiescent current-must tie to VIN or GND. |
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Regulated Output | Delivers 2.5V ±2%; requires 0.47µF ceramic capacitor to GND within 2mm for ESR-dependent loop stability and load transient response. |
| NC (Pin 5) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND for mechanical stability and EMI reduction-leaving open is acceptable per datasheet. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-Small UDFN Package | 1.0mm × 1.0mm footprint saves >60% board area vs. SOT-23, enabling dense RF module integration in slim smartphones. |
| Auto Output Discharge | 50Ω internal discharge path clears VOUT within 100µs after EN deactivation-prevents back-powering or latch-up in multi-supply systems. |
| Low-Noise Regulation | 60µVRMS output noise (10Hz–100kHz) avoids corruption of precision analog front-ends and high-resolution audio DACs. |
| Thermal & Current Protection | 170°C thermal shutdown with 20°C hysteresis and 400mA current limit prevent damage during short-circuit or overtemperature events. |
| Wide Input Range | 1.7–5.5V operation supports direct Li-ion (3.0–4.2V), USB (4.75–5.25V), and multi-cell alkaline inputs without pre-regulation. |
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 XC6219B251MR-G | Same 2.5V output, 300mA, UDFN-4 (1.0×1.0mm), but 25µA IQ and 65dB PSRR @ 1kHz. | Lacks auto-discharge; requires external resistor for controlled VOUT decay. | Preferred where lowest quiescent current dominates over PSRR and discharge control. |
| Richtek RT9013-25GB | 2.5V/300mA, SOT-23-5 package (larger footprint), 200mV dropout @ 150mA, 70dB PSRR @ 1kHz. | Includes active-low EN and thermal foldback-but no auto-discharge or 0.47µF ceramic support. | Chosen when board space permits SOT-23 and thermal foldback is required over ultra-small size. |
Compared with XC6219B251MR-G and RT9013-25GB, PT7M8216B25XZEX uniquely combines ultra-miniature UDFN-4, 75dB PSRR, and integrated auto-discharge-making it optimal for space-constrained, noise-sensitive, and fast-sequencing mobile designs where external discharge circuitry is prohibitive.

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for PT7M8216B25XZEX to maintain 2.5V output at 300mA?
The dropout voltage is specified as 150mV @ 150mA for VOUT = 2.8V; for the 2.5V variant, worst-case dropout is 165mV at 300mA per characterization curves. Thus, minimum input is 2.5V + 0.165V = 2.665V. Operation below this causes output collapse or regulation loss.
Can PT7M8216B25XZEX operate with a 0.22µF ceramic output capacitor?
No. The device is characterized and guaranteed stable only with ≥0.47µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitors. Using 0.22µF violates the stability condition and risks oscillation, especially under load transients-per Section 4 of the datasheet and Figure 7's stability boundary.
Is the NC pin (Pin 5) electrically isolated or internally tied to GND?
Pin 5 is a true no-connect: not bonded internally and electrically isolated. The datasheet explicitly states "This pin is better to be connected to the GND, but leaving it open is also acceptable"-confirming no internal connection exists, unlike thermal pads or substrate ties.
Does PT7M8216B25XZEX support reverse current blocking when VIN < VOUT?
No. The device uses a P-channel MOSFET pass element, which inherently lacks reverse current blocking. If VIN falls below VOUT (e.g., during hot-swap or battery swap), current flows backward from VOUT to VIN unless an external Schottky diode is added-this behavior is confirmed in the block diagram and functional description.
