Abstract

The invention, belonging to the technical field of power supply management, discloses a low dropout linear voltage regulator, which comprises a power tube, a buffer, a first transconductance amplifier, a second transconductance amplifier, a current subtractor and a Miller compensation capacitor. The low dropout linear voltage regulator can remarkably increase slew rate and bandwidth of a common grid type error amplifier and enlarge the scope of the input common-mode voltage by three techniques of adaptive current bias, the current subtractor and capacitance coupling type dynamic charge and discharge, so that transient response speed of the linear voltage regulator is greatly increased and amplitude of the output voltage peak is reduced, meanwhile, good stability of a loop circuit is ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of power supply management, and in particular relates to the design of a low dropout linear regulator (LDO, Low Dropout Regulator). Background technique [0002] Low-dropout linear regulators can provide low output ripple power for noise-sensitive analog circuits and radio frequency circuits, and have a relatively simple structure and few peripheral components, so they are widely used in SoCs. In most applications, it is necessary to place an LDO with no output capacitor next to each circuit module, so that the optimization of the power supply of each circuit module can improve the overall performance of the system. [0003] For portable equipment, power efficiency is a key indicator for extending its battery life, so low quiescent current and low input-output voltage dropout are particularly important. However, because the tail current of the error amplifier limits the magnitude of the charging and dischar...
