Problems solved by technology

However, the existing problems are as follows: parallel operation of LDOs needs to solve the problem of load current balance, otherwise the inherent differences between LDOs will cause the LDO with a slightly higher output voltage to share a larger current and enter an unbalanced working state until overcurrent protection or failure due to thermal shutdown

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of low-dropout linear regulators, in particular to an LDO parallel current sharing circuit. Background technique [0002] In the DC / DC power supply design of electronic systems, switching power supplies and LDOs are currently the most commonly used. The switching power supply has high efficiency and large output current, but due to its switching characteristics, the output voltage ripple noise is relatively large. A low dropout regulator (Low Dropout Regulator, LDO for short) can generate a regulated output voltage to provide power for a chip, and is currently widely used in a System-on-a-Chip (SoC for short). Low-dropout linear regulators can be divided into ordinary LDO circuits and capacitorless LDO circuits (capacitorless LDO) according to whether they need bypass capacitors. Ordinary LDO circuits generally require one or two bypass capacitors, while capacitorless LDO circuits generally require one or t...
