With the rapid development of portable devices, IoT terminals, and wearable technologies, the defects of traditional switching power supplies, such as large electromagnetic interference and complex peripheral circuits, have become increasingly prominent. LDOs, with their low voltage difference, low noise, and fast dynamic response characteristics, have shown significant advantages in lithium battery-powered scenarios, especially in the fields of high-precision analog circuits (such as sensors, RF modules), medical electronics, and automotive-grade chips, which have high requirements for LDO power supply rejection ratio.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0019] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only embodiments of a part of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] See also Figure 1-6 , the embodiment provided by the present invention: like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a circuit for improving the high power supply rejection ratio of an LDO includes a feedback control amplifier module opa1 and a power tube module; The power tube module includes a power tube MP1 and a power tube MP2, the drain of the power tube MP1 is connected to the source of the power tube MP2, the in-phase input end of the feedback control amplifier module opa1 is connected to the source of the power tube MP1, the inverting input end of the feedback control amplifier module opa1 is respectively connected to the drain of the power tube MP1 and the source of the power tube MP2, and the output end of the feedback control amplifier module opa1 is connected to the substrate potential of the power tube MP1; The feedback resistor module includes a resistor R1 and a resistor R2, which are connected in series. The series resistor R1 is connected to the drain of the power tube MP2, and the drain of the power tube MP2 is the output voltage Vout. The resistor R2 is grounded, and the inverting input terminal of the error amplifier opa0 is connected to the common terminal of the resistor R1 and the resistor R2. The resistors R1 and R2 detect the LDO output voltage Vout and feed it back to the error amplifier opa0.
[0021] The non-inverting input terminal of the error amplifier opa0 is connected to the reference signal Vref, the inverting input terminal of the error amplifier opa0 is electrically connected to the feedback resistor module, and the output control terminal G of the error amplifier opa0 is respectively connected to the gates of the power tube MP1 and the power tube MP2; After the error amplifier opa0 compares the feedback signal input by the feedback resistor module with the reference signal Vref, the output control terminal G of the error amplifier opa0 outputs a control signal to the power tube MP1 and the power tube MP2.
[0022] After the feedback control amplifier module opa1 detects the signals of the source and drain of the power tube MP1, the output terminal vout0 of the feedback control amplifier module opa1 controls the substrate potential of the power tube MP1. Through circuit design, the amplifier gain will only increase in the high frequency band.
[0023] The working principle is: The reference signal Vref is connected to the non-inverting input terminal of the error amplifier opa0. At the same time, the output voltage Vout is divided by the feedback resistor module, resistors R1 and R2 are connected in series, and the feedback signal FB is input to the inverting input terminal of the error amplifier opa0. The error amplifier opa0 compares the two signals to determine the deviation between the output voltage Vout and the reference signal Vref.
[0024] The error amplifier opa0 outputs a control signal from the output control terminal G to the gates of the power tubes MP1 and MP2 according to the comparison result. When the output voltage Vout deviates from the reference signal Vref, the control signal adjusts the conduction degree of the power tubes MP1 and MP2, thereby adjusting the output voltage Vout. For example, if Vout is lower than Vref, the control signal will increase the conduction degree of the power tube to increase Vout; conversely, if Vout is higher than Vref, the conduction degree of the power tube will be reduced to reduce Vout, thereby achieving a stable output voltage.
[0025] The in-phase input of the feedback control amplifier module opa1 is connected to the source of the power tube MP1, and the inverting input is connected to the drain of the power tube MP1, that is, the source of the power tube MP2. Under normal circumstances, the source voltage of MP1 is higher than the drain voltage, and the voltage difference between the two is v1=Vin-Vs2. The feedback control amplifier module opa1 processes the detected source and drain signals, and its output vout0=Gain*v1 (Gain is the auxiliary amplifier gain).
[0026] The feedback control amplifier is specially designed to have a low gain in the low frequency band, so the output Vout0 voltage is low, making the substrate voltage of MP1 low; when the frequency increases, the amplifier gain increases, Vout0 increases, and the MP1 substrate potential increases accordingly. Since the increase in the MP1 substrate potential will increase the impedance of the MP1 tube, the power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) in the high frequency band is improved, effectively suppressing the impact of high-frequency noise in the power supply on the output voltage.
[0027] Furthermore, the drain of the power tube MP2 is also connected to the resistor Rload and one end of the capacitor CL, and the other ends of the resistor Rload and the capacitor CL are grounded. The drain of the power tube MP2 outputs a stable voltage Vout to power the load. At the same time, the capacitor CL plays a filtering role, smoothing the output voltage, reducing voltage fluctuations and high-frequency ripples, and ensuring the stability and purity of the output voltage.
[0028] The specific circuit design of the feedback control amplifier module is as follows: like Figure 3 As shown, the feedback control amplifier module opa1 includes an input stage unit, a frequency compensation unit and an output stage unit; The input stage unit includes power tube NM9, power tube NM7, power tube NM8, power tube NM1 and power tube NM2. The drain of power tube NM9 is connected to the current source Ib1, the drain of power tube NM9 is connected to the gate of power tube NM8, the gate of power tube NM9 is connected to the gate of power tube NM7, the drain of power tube NM9 is also connected to the gate of power tube NM9, the sources of power tube NM9, power tube NM7 and power tube NM8 are grounded, the drain of power tube NM7 and the drain of power tube NM8 are respectively connected to the sources of power tube NM1 and power tube NM2, the gates of power tube NM1 and power tube NM2 are respectively connected to differential input signals Vinp and Vinn, power tube NM1 and power tube NM2 constitute a differential input pair tube, power tube NM9, power tube NM7 and power tube NM8 provide bias current for the input stage, and a suitable static operating point is determined by current source Ib1.
[0029] The frequency compensation unit includes a resistor R1 and a capacitor C1. Both ends of the resistor R1 and the capacitor C1 are connected in parallel to the source electrodes of the power tube NM1 and the power tube NM2 respectively. The resistor R1 and the capacitor C1 form a frequency compensation network. The output stage unit includes power tube NM3, power tube NM4, power tube NM5, power tube NM6, power tube PM3, power tube PM4, power tube PM5, power tube PM6 and power tube PM7. The power tube NM3, power tube NM4, power tube NM5 and power tube NM6 together form a current mirror for copying current. The gates of the power tubes PM3 and PM4 are connected in common and are connected to the bias voltage Vbias. The sources of the power tubes PM3 and PM4 are connected to the sources of the power tubes PM5 and PM6 respectively. The drains of the power tubes NM1 and NM2 are connected to the common terminals of the power tubes PM3 and PM5 and the common terminals of the power tubes PM4 and PM6 respectively.

[0030] In the low frequency range, the capacitive reactance of capacitor C1 is large, which is equivalent to an open circuit. At this time, resistor R1 is connected to the source of power tubes NM1 and NM2, introducing negative feedback, resulting in a decrease in input stage gain. As the frequency increases, the capacitive reactance of capacitor C1 decreases, showing a high-pass characteristic, making the source end approximately short-circuited, and the negative feedback effect is weakened, thereby increasing the input stage gain. In this way, the entire amplifier circuit achieves characteristics with different gains at different frequencies. At the same time, the current mirror structure ensures the current distribution and signal transmission between each stage, and finally the output terminal Vout outputs the amplified signal.
