Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of analog integrated circuit design, and in particular relates to a low-power low-voltage difference regulator. Background Art

[0002] Low voltage dropout regulators are extremely important in various systems and are usually used to generate stable voltages to power the system. Low voltage dropout regulators implemented using CMOS technology have been continuously optimized for power supply efficiency.

[0003] Conventional low dropout regulators such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the function of the op amp structure and the resistor network in the circuit makes the output voltage proportional to the input voltage, and obtains a stable output voltage VOUT. C1 is used to adjust the phase margin of the circuit. However, this circuit structure has a disadvantage. The value of VOUT is usually above 1V. If the static current of the overall circuit is to be small, the resistance value of the resistor used must be very large.

The described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the present invention, not all the embodiments.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a low-power low-dropout voltage regulator according to the present invention.

The specific structure is as follows: it includes a first MOS tube M1, a second MOS tube M2, a third MOS tube M3, a fourth MOS tube M4, a fifth MOS tube M5, a sixth MOS tube M6, a seventh MOS tube M7, an eighth MOS tube M8, a ninth MOS tube M9, a tenth MOS tube M10, an eleventh MOS tube M11, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a first transistor T1, a second transistor T2, and a third transistor T3;

[0030] The gate of the fifth MOS transistor M5 is respectively connected to the gate of the sixth MOS transistor M6, the drain of the third MOS transistor M3, the drain of the first MOS transistor M1, the gate of the eighth MOS transistor M8, and the gate of the tenth MOS transistor M10; the source of the fifth MOS transistor M5 is connected to the power supply; the drain of the fifth MOS transistor M5 is connected to the source of the third MOS transistor M3; the gate of the third MOS transistor M3 is connected to the source of the second MOS transistor M2; the gate of the first MOS transistor M1 is connected to the gate and drain of the second MOS transistor M2; the source of the first MOS transistor M1 is respectively connected to the gate of the fourth MOS transistor M4, the gate of the seventh MOS transistor M7, the gate of the ninth MOS transistor M9, and one end of the first resistor R1; the other end of the first resistor R1 is connected to the emitter of the first triode T1; the collector of the first triode T1 is connected to the signal ground; the base of the first triode T1 is respectively connected to the base of the second triode T2 and the signal ground;

[0034] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cross-coupled LDO circuit 22 converts the input reference voltage to the output terminal voltage, and its structure is as follows: it includes a twelfth MOS tube M12, a thirteenth MOS tube M13, a fourteenth MOS tube M14, a fifteenth MOS tube M15, a sixteenth MOS tube M16, a seventeenth MOS tube M17, an eighteenth MOS tube M18, a nineteenth MOS tube M19, a twentieth MOS tube M20, a twenty-first MOS tube M21, a twenty-second MOS tube M22, a twenty-third MOS tube M23, and a twenty-fourth MOS tube M24;

[0035] The source of the fourteenth MOS tube M14 is respectively connected to the source of the fifteenth MOS tube M15 and the source of the sixteenth MOS tube M16, the gate of the fourteenth MOS tube M14 is respectively connected to the gate and drain of the fifteenth MOS tube M15, the drain of the fourteenth MOS tube M14 is respectively connected to the drain and gate of the eighteenth MOS tube M18, and the source of the eighteenth MOS tube M18 is connected to the signal ground;

[0038] The source of the twenty-fourth MOS tube M24 is connected to the power supply, the gate of the twenty-fourth MOS tube M24 is connected to the drain of the twenty-second MOS tube M22, the drain of the seventeenth MOS tube M17 is connected to the drain and gate of the twentieth MOS tube M20, and the source of the twentieth MOS tube M20 is connected to the signal ground;

[0040] The source of the 23rd MOS tube M23 is connected to the power supply, the drain of the 23rd MOS tube M23 is connected to the drain of the 21st MOS tube M21, the gate of the 21st MOS tube M21 is connected to the gate of the 20th MOS tube M20, and the source of the 21st MOS tube M21 is connected to the signal ground. A first capacitor C1 is provided between the drain and the gate of the 24th MOS tube M24.

[0041] The structure of the present invention can achieve a quiescent current of nA level without using a large resistor. Among them, the reference circuit can generate a quiescent current of nA level so that the quiescent current in the entire low voltage difference regulator is nA level. At the same time, the reference circuit also provides a reference voltage and a mirror current source for the cross-coupled LDO circuit, and the cross-coupling structure of the cross-coupled LDO circuit is specifically the twelfth MOS tube M12, the thirteenth MOS tube M13, the fourteenth MOS tube M14, the fifteenth MOS tube M15, the sixteenth MOS tube M16 and the seventeenth MOS tube M17.

[0042] The cross-coupling structure makes the current in the twelfth MOS tube M12 equal to that in the thirteenth MOS tube M13, and at the same time ensures that the source terminal voltages of the fifteenth MOS tube M15 and the sixteenth MOS tube M16 are equal, thereby realizing the conversion from the reference voltage to the output voltage.

[0043] If the VOUT port changes, the gate end of the fifteenth MOS tube M15 will change in the same way, and the drain end of the fourteenth MOS tube M14 will change in the opposite way, that is, the gate end of the nineteenth MOS tube M19 will change in the opposite way, and the drain end of the nineteenth MOS tube M19 will change in the same way, and the gate end of the twenty-fourth MOS tube M24 will change in the same way, and the drain end of the twenty-fourth MOS tube M24 will change in the opposite way, that is, the VOUT port will change in the opposite way, and negative feedback will be achieved. At the same time, if the VOUT port changes, the source end of the seventeenth MOS tube M17 will change in the same way, and the drain end of the seventeenth MOS tube M17 will change in the same way, and the gate end of the twenty-first MOS tube M21 will change in the same way, and the drain end of the twenty-first MOS tube M21 will change in the opposite way, and the gate end of the twenty-second MOS tube M22 will change in the opposite way, and the drain end of the twenty-second M22 will change in the same way, and the gate end of the twenty-fourth MOS tube M24 will change in the same way, and the drain end of the twenty-fourth MOS tube M24 will change in the opposite way, that is, the VOUT port will change in the opposite way, and negative feedback will be achieved. The negative feedback of the two loops ensures the stability of the VOUT port output.

[0044] The first capacitor C1 is used to adjust the phase margin of the circuit. The static current in the mirror current source flowing through the eleventh MOS tube M11 generated by the reference circuit 21 is very small, so that the static current in the cross-coupled LDO circuit is very small, and specifically can achieve nA level current. The current of each branch in the cross-coupled LDO circuit provides a multiple of the current of the mirror current source, and the specific size depends on the ratio of the tube size in each mirror structure. Compared with the traditional structure, this structure does not use resistors, and ensures a lower static current with a small layout area.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
