LD6816 series
Ultra low dropout regulators, low noise, 150 mA
Rev. 1 — 28 September 2012
Product data sheet
1. Product profile
1.1 General description
The LD6816 series is a small-size Low DropOut regulator (LDO) family with a typical
voltage drop of 45 mV at 150 mA current rating. Operating voltages can range from 2.3 V
to 5.5 V. The devices are available with fixed output voltages between 1.2 V and 3.6 V.
In disabled mode the LD6816CX4/xxH devices show a high-ohmic state at the output pin,
while the LD6816CX4/xxP and LD6816CX4/CxxP devices contain a pull-down switching
transistor to provide a low-ohmic output state (auto discharge function).
All devices of the LD6816 series are available in a 0.4 mm pitch Wafer-Level Chip-Scale
Package (WLCSP) making them ideal for use in portable applications requiring
component miniaturization. All devices are manufactured in monolithic silicon technology.

The (absolute) maximum power dissipation depends on the junction temperature T
j
. Higher power dissipation is allowed with lower
ambient temperatures. The conditions to determine the specified values are T

and the use of a two layer Printed-Circuit
Board (PCB).
According to IEC 61340-3-1.

The overall R
th(j-a)
can vary depending on the board layout. To minimize the effective R
th(j-a)
, all pins must have a solid connection to
larger Cu layer areas for example to the power and ground layer. In multi-layer PCB applications, the second layer is used to create a
large heat spreader area directly below the LDO. If this layer is either ground or power, it is connected with several vias to the top layer
connecting to the device ground or supply. Avoid the use of solder-stop varnish under the chip.
Use the measurement data given for a rough estimation of the R
th(j-a)
in your application. The actual R
th(j-a)
value can vary in applications
using different layer stacks and layouts.
