Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic circuits, and in particular to a low voltage drop linear regulator, a ferroelectric memory and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] In the related art, Low Dropout Regulator (LDO) is a common basic circuit module in analog circuits, which is used to realize level conversion and provide stable, low-interference power supply for other circuits. Due to the particularity of the storage array of large-capacity ferroelectric memory chips, the output load of LDO is required to be above 100mA. However, current ferroelectric chips usually use two LDOs to be responsible for high and low load conditions respectively. When switching between high and low loads, this method often has serious voltage fluctuations and slow recovery time, thereby limiting the operating frequency of the ferroelectric chip. At the same time, the use of two LDOs also increases the size of the overall circuit.
