Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of power management chips, and in particular to an LDO circuit and method for improving load transient response speed. Background Art

[0002] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 The figure shows a method in the prior art to effectively improve the transient response speed. Figure 2 As shown, by sampling the output load current and feeding back the tail current of the first-stage amplifier, the gate of the second-stage amplifier tube is controlled to improve the transient response speed and the stability of the chip output. It includes: an operational amplifier and an output voltage divider circuit composed of an NMOS tube, a PMOS tube and a resistor, and by sampling the output load current and feeding back the tail current of the first-stage amplifier, the gate of the second-stage amplifier tube is controlled to improve the transient response speed. The source electrodes of the first PMOS tube MP1, the second PMOS tube MP2, the third PMOS tube MP3, the fourth PMOS tube MP4 and the fifth PMOS tube MP5 are connected to the power supply voltage VDD, the third NMOS tube MN3, the fourth NMOS tube MN4 and the fifth NMOS tube MN5 are connected to the ground terminal GND, the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 provide a feedback voltage Vfb which is input to the gate of the first NMOS tube MN1, the third NMOS tube MN3 is connected to the reference voltage Vbias, and the voltage output terminal VOUT is formed between the drain of the fifth PMOS tube MP5 and the second resistor R2, wherein at least the first part is formed by the first NMOS tube MN1, the second NMOS tube MN2, the third NMOS tube MN3, the first PMOS tube MP1 and the second PMOS tube MP2, which is an operational amplifier circuit; and the third part is formed by the fifth PMOS tube MP5, the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4, which constitutes a second-stage amplification and output voltage divider circuit.

[0003] On the basis of the above scheme, in the first part of the circuit PART1, the first PMOS tube MP1, the second PMOS tube MP2, the first NMOS tube MN1, the second NMOS tube MN2, and the third NMOS tube MN3 constitute an operational amplifier as the first-stage amplifier of the low-dropout linear regulator loop. Vbg and Vbias are standard voltage sources. The feedback voltages Vfb and Vbg are made equal through the amplifier, and the output voltage with very small error is obtained through the voltage division of the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4 in the third part PART3.

[0004] Generally speaking, when the static power consumption requirement is not high, the first part PART1 and the third part PART3 plus some compensation are sufficient to output a stable output voltage. However, when the static current requirement is relatively high, when the tail current of the first-stage amplifier is relatively small, the gain is small, and the output is output to the gate of the fifth PMOS tube MP5 of the power tube. If there is no large capacitor at the output, the output voltage will jump significantly.

[0005] On the basis of the above scheme, the second part is composed of the fourth NMOS tube MN4, the fifth NMOS tube MN5, the third PMOS tube MP3, the fourth PMOS tube MP4, the first resistor R1, and the second resistor R2, which serves as an output load current sampling circuit, wherein the third PMOS tube MP3 is a sampling tube, the first resistor R1 and the fourth PMOS tube MP4 play a role of auxiliary sampling, the second resistor R2 plays a role of protecting the gate of the fourth PMOS tube MP4 to prevent it from being broken down due to being connected to the PAD, the fourth NMOS tube MN4 and the fifth NMOS tube MN5 are current mirrors, responsible for feeding back the sampled current to the operational amplifier, and when the output light load / heavy load suddenly changes, the sampling tube third PMOS tube MP3 samples the output current and feeds it back to the first-stage amplifier through the current mirror fourth NMOS tube MN4 and the fifth NMOS tube MN5.

[0006] Aiming at the shortcomings of traditional low voltage drop linear regulator, such as unstable output when light load and heavy load are switched quickly, and serious output overcharge and undershoot jump, a method for improving transient response speed is proposed. In the circuit, the output load current is sampled and fed back to the tail current of the first-stage amplifier to control the gate of the fifth PMOS tube MP5 of the second-stage amplifier tube, thereby improving the transient response speed and effectively improving the stability of the chip output.

[0007] Pros and cons of previous technologies: 1: The previous technology can indeed improve some of the response speed, but when the heavy load is switched to the light load, the sampling current is extremely small, and the improvement on the output overshoot is limited.

[0008] 2: The operational amplifier is used to improve the sudden change of VOUT only, and the amplifier has only two stages, so the gain is limited and the improvement capability is also limited. Summary of the invention
