[0033] The power supply terminal of the LDO error amplifier U1 is connected to the secondary power supply, and the ground terminal of the LDO error amplifier U1 is grounded.

[0034] The LDO also includes capacitors C1, C2, and C3, resistors R3 and R4;

[0035] The output terminal of the error amplifier U1 is connected to one end of the capacitor C1, and the other end of the capacitor C1 is grounded.

[0038] The drain of MOSFET M1 is connected to one end of capacitor C3, and the other end of capacitor C3 is grounded.

[0039] The two ends of capacitor C3 and the two ends of resistor R4 are connected in parallel;

[0040] The primary power supply, secondary power supply, and LDO are integrated into the same hardware module, saving space and reducing the chip's footprint.

[0041] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The primary power supply provides the input power, which is initially regulated by a secondary power supply composed of resistor R and MOSFET Q1 to reduce input voltage fluctuations. The output voltage of the secondary power supply serves as the input to the LDO module, and is precisely regulated through a feedback loop composed of MOSFET M1 and error amplifier U1. Error amplifier U1 adjusts the gate voltage of MOSFET M1 by comparing the reference power supply Vref with the voltage divided by resistors R1 and R2, thereby controlling the stability of the output voltage.

[0042] The power supply can be applied to the ZQ calibration circuit to provide a stable power supply for the internal oscillator, thereby making the clock signal generated by the oscillator more stable and less affected by PVT, which is beneficial to improving the stability of ZQ calibration. Simultaneously, this invention can also serve as a voltage regulator for the oscillator in the ZQ circuit of DDR5 products; previously, the power supply of the oscillator and other modules in the ZQ circuit shared the same power supply, which affected power supply stability. The power supply of this invention can better ensure the stability of the power supply within the oscillator.

[0043] By employing a collaborative design involving a primary power supply, a secondary power supply, and an LDO module, a higher power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) can be achieved. The primary and secondary power supplies provide initial voltage regulation and filtering, reducing high-frequency noise and low-frequency ripple in the input power supply. The LDO module further regulates the voltage, focusing on suppressing residual noise, thereby improving the overall PSRR of the system. The system's ability to suppress input power supply noise is significantly enhanced, making it suitable for applications sensitive to power supply noise.

[0044] By coordinating the design of the primary and secondary power supplies and the LDO module, the input voltage stress on the LDO module can be reduced. The primary and secondary power supplies gradually lower the input voltage to an intermediate voltage range suitable for LDO module operation. The LDO module only needs to handle lower input voltages, reducing voltage stress and power consumption of its internal components. This improves the efficiency and reliability of the LDO module and reduces heat generation issues.

The primary and secondary power supplies share part of the voltage step-down task, reducing the input-output voltage difference of the LDO module. The LDO module operates at a lower voltage drop, resulting in significantly improved efficiency. Overall system efficiency is improved, energy loss is reduced, and it is suitable for battery-powered or low-power applications.

[0046] The coordinated design of the primary power supply, secondary power supply, and LDO module enhances system stability and reliability. The primary and secondary power supplies provide initial voltage regulation and filtering for the input voltage, reducing voltage fluctuations and noise. The LDO module operates under a stable input voltage, resulting in a more stable and reliable output. The system maintains high stability and reliability even under high-voltage input conditions, extending equipment lifespan.

[0047] By coordinating the design of the primary power supply, secondary power supply, and LDO module, the design complexity of the LDO module can be reduced. The primary and secondary power supplies handle the input processing, simplifying the LDO module design. The LDO module only needs to focus on low-noise output and high-precision voltage regulation. This reduces the design difficulty and cost of the LDO module while improving the overall system performance.

[0048] This invention can adapt to various application scenarios. The primary and secondary power supplies can be flexibly adjusted according to the input voltage range to adapt to different input conditions. The LDO module provides low-noise, high-precision output voltage, meeting the needs of applications with high power quality requirements. The system has stronger versatility and adaptability, suitable for various fields such as communication equipment, medical instruments, and industrial control.

[0049] This invention reduces output noise and ripple. The primary and secondary power supplies perform initial filtering on the input power, reducing noise and ripple. The LDO module further filters out residual noise, providing a clean output voltage. The significantly reduced output voltage noise and ripple make it suitable for applications with extremely high power quality requirements.

[0050] This invention improves the dynamic response capability of the system; the primary and secondary power supplies provide a stable intermediate voltage, reducing the impact of input voltage fluctuations on the LDO module. Under a stable input voltage, the LDO module can respond more quickly to load changes. The system's dynamic response capability is significantly improved, making it suitable for applications with frequent load changes.

[0051] This invention can reduce system costs; the primary and secondary power supplies use low-cost components to share the input workload. The LDO module can use low-voltage components, further reducing costs. The overall system cost is reduced while maintaining high performance.

[0052] This invention improves system scalability; the primary and secondary power supplies can adjust their output voltage ranges as needed.
