Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the current SRAM LDO design, the SRAM LDO architecture mainly includes two parts: the operational amplifier circuit and the regulator drive ring MOSFET circuit; due to the large number of SRAM Memory cells, the SRAM LDO needs to provide a very large Drive ring to Ensure that the SRAM Memory cell unit can be driven evenly, and the layout and wiring of the Driver ring and the parasitic resistance and capacitance will affect the consistency of the SRAM LDO output voltage adjustment value: Driver ring and Memory cell caused by unreasonable layout and wiring and layout parasitic resistance The difference in the output value at the node of the unit connected to the unit, and the difference between the actual output of the SRAM LDO and the ideal LDO output voltage caused by PVT and device mismatch will lead to the deterioration of the 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 where the existing LDO is connected to the SRAM Memory cell is too different from the target output regulation voltage.
