Problems solved by technology

[0003] Currently in the SRAMLDO design, the SRAMLDO architecture mainly includes two parts: the operational amplifier circuit and the regulator driving MOSFET circuit; due to the large number of SRAMMemorycell units, SRAMLDO needs to provide a very large Driving to ensure that the SRAMMemorycell units can be driven evenly, and Driverring's layout and wiring and parasitic resistance and capacitance will affect the consistency of the SRAMLDO output voltage adjustment value: the output value difference at the unit node where Driverring is connected to the Memorycell unit is caused by unreasonable layout and layout and layout parasitic resistance, while PVT and device There is a difference between the actual output of SRAMLDO and the ideal LDO output voltage caused by mismatch, which will lead to the deterioration of consistency
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art urgently need to provide an LDO to solve the technical problem that the output average voltage at the cell node connected to the SRAMMemorycell and the target output regulation voltage of the existing LDO are too large.
