AI Technical Summary
Traditional LDO solutions suffer from insufficient noise and power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) performance, and the use of large off-chip capacitors introduces ESD issues and increases costs, making it difficult to achieve low noise and high PSRR within a limited chip area.
An internal LDO circuit is combined with a switched capacitor low-pass filter, and on-chip devices are used to implement low-cutoff frequency low-pass filtering, reducing power supply noise and improving PSRR. At the same time, a non-overlapping clock generation circuit is used to optimize the voltage follower and reduce system overhead.
Without increasing the chip area, high PSRR and low noise performance are achieved, which reduces system power consumption and cost and solves the problems of insufficient noise and PSRR in traditional LDO solutions.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of integrated circuits, and particularly relates to a high-power-supply-rejection-ratio low-noise LDO implementation circuit. BACKGROUND
[0002] Low-dropout linear voltage regulators (LDOs) have been widely used in various devices, such as various smart phones, personal notebook computers, smart mobile terminals and other mobile portable devices. In order to ensure that the device system works more safely and reliably, high-quality power supply is essential. At present, most mobile portable devices have a large number of sensing sensor precision systems and radio frequency transceiver circuits for transmitting communication information. These precision and noise-sensitive systems require the system to provide low-noise high-power-supply-rejection-ratio (PSRR) power supply.
[0003] In a traditional high-PSRR LDO scheme, in order to reduce the multiplication effect of the output error amplifier on the reference voltage noise, the output stage often adopts a voltage follower scheme, and the first internal LDO multiplies the output voltage. In order to reduce the noise and PSRR influence of the reference voltage, a low-pass filter is used after the first internal LDO to minimize the influence of the previous stage, and the noise and PSRR of the system output are mainly contributed by the voltage follower of the output stage. In the traditional LDO scheme, the noise is mainly composed of four parts: the noise generated by the bandgap reference itself, the noise of the first internal LDO, the noise generated by the reference voltage filter circuit, and the noise generated by the LDO error amplifier. Similarly, the power supply noise coupled into the LDO is also composed of four parts: the path from the power supply to the bandgap reference voltage, the path from the power supply to the first internal LDO, the path from the power supply to the error amplifier output, and the path from the power supply to the output through the power tube. With the increasing requirement of modern devices on system power consumption, lower static current means higher noise, and the fast transient response of the LDO is also a challenge. Therefore, the part of the system generating the reference voltage and the first internal LDO cannot consume too much static power consumption, and more power consumption will be allocated to the error amplifier of the LDO. Therefore, the reference voltage and the first internal LDO will contribute too much noise output to the system. Worse still, in order to achieve high PSRR, the bandgap reference needs a very complex architecture, which will increase the static power consumption and wafer cost.
[0004] Therefore, to improve the noise performance and PSRR of the system reference voltage, a simple RC filter circuit is a viable solution. Implementing a low-bandwidth low-pass filter requires relatively large resistors and capacitors, which necessitates a considerable chip area. However, due to cost or packaging considerations, the chip area cannot be increased indefinitely, and the resistors and capacitors cannot be too large. Therefore, a large off-chip capacitor, CBP, is needed to simply implement a low-cutoff frequency low-pass filter. This can significantly improve the system's noise performance and PSRR. However, using an external capacitor raises the issue of ESD. Introducing ESD devices increases the area and makes them sensitive to high-temperature leakage, which also increases the user's overall system cost.
[0005] Therefore, a circuit LDO is needed to avoid ESD problems and solve the problem of unstable power supply. Summary of the Invention

[0089] Figure 1 The voltage reference source and the first internal LDO in the Figure 5 have relatively low PSRR bandwidth due to low power consumption, and the principle of enhancing PSRR through low-pass RC is as shown in Figure 5 The PSRR wave pattern of VOUT_PRIM is shown in Figure 5(b) shows the VOUT CLEAN wave pattern after a first-order low-pass filter (solid line), from which it can be seen that the PSRR enhancement frequency range is from the low-pass filter cutoff frequency (fc) to the first internal LDO PSRR bandwidth (f-3dB), if f-3dB is 100 times fc, VOUT CLEAN can be improved by 40dB, assuming that the first internal LDO dc PSRR is 50dB, f-3dB is 100Hz, fc=1Hz, VOUT CLEAN can achieve 90dB PSRR in the medium and high frequency (greater than 1kHz) range; Figure 5 (c) shows the principle of using a second-order low-pass filter circuit to enhance the PSRR of VOUT CLEAN in a higher frequency range (greater than 100kHz).
[0090] In order to achieve better PSRR enhancement effect, the cutoff frequency of the third low-pass filter needs to be very low (generally below 1Hz), and the filter uses an on-chip capacitor CF, and the on-chip capacitor is generally used in the range of 10pF-100pF. In order to achieve a low cutoff frequency, a relatively large filter resistor RF needs to be implemented, for example, to achieve a 1s time constant, the resistance needs to be 10GΩ-100GΩ, which is impossible to achieve with an on-chip resistor. Based on this problem, the present application innovatively uses a switched capacitor to achieve a large resistance, thereby implementing such a low-pass filter. The third low-pass filter implemented using a switched capacitor uses PMOS tubes PM1 and PM2, the gates of the two PMOS tubes are connected to non-overlapping edge clocks, PH1b and PH2b respectively. PM1 and PM2 act as switches and are divided into two parts in each cycle, the first half cycle charges Csmall, and the second half cycle transfers the charge of Csmall to Cbig. Using the principle of charge transfer to equivalent a larger resistance, the equivalent resistance value and the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter are determined by the following formula:
[0091]
[0092]
[0093] In order to achieve a lower cutoff frequency, it is necessary to increase the ratio of Cbig and Csmall, and at the same time reduce the clock frequency. Assuming that Cbig=100pF, Csmall=0.1pF, to achieve a 1s equivalent time constant, a clock frequency of 1kHz is required, which realizes an equivalent resistance of up to 10GΩ. Figure 1 The switched capacitor low-pass filter circuit in the present application combines RF1 and CF1 to form a second-order low-pass filter, which achieves the PSRR enhancement effect of VOUT PRIM in a higher frequency range.
[0094] The switch capacitor low pass filter scheme mentioned in the application, when the system is powered on, due to the low frequency of the clock, the ratio of Cbig and Csmall is large, if only relying on the switch capacitor to carry the charge to realize the power-on climbing of VOUT_CLEAN, the climbing time will be very long (related to the cutoff frequency of the filter), which is unacceptable in application, therefore, by short-circuiting VOUT_PRIM and VOUT_CLEAN through a switch during power-on, the power-on speed can be realized faster; for the low dropout LDO, if the system power is lower than the output voltage of the LDO, the LDO will enter the dropout mode, at this time, VOUT_PRIM and VOUT_CLEAN are equal to the input voltage, if the input is quickly restored, VOUT_PRIM can quickly respond, due to the low pass filter, VOUT_CLEAN still cannot quickly recover, therefore, a first internal LDO dropout mode detection circuit is used, so that when the system exits the dropout mode, there is a short enough time to charge VOUT_CLEAN to the voltage of VOUT_PRIM by using the PMOS PM3 as a switch.
