Two-stage calibration adjusts bandgap and regulator resistors to eliminate clock noise and reduce temperature drift in the voltage generating device.
A linear-in-decibel current generator uses parallel branches and dynamic biasing to produce variable gain.
A linear regulator employs a PMOS current mirror to detect excessive currents in an NMOS driver, reducing silicon area while maintaining reliability.
A voltage-controlled variable resistor tunes an adaptive RC network in the feedback loop, countering phase margin degradation under wide capacitive loads.
Segmented positive and negative coefficient units cancel T and T ln(T) terms, eliminating the temperature coefficient in analog ICs.
A track regulator circuit injects a ramping current into the feedback resistor to control output voltage during startup.
Detection circuitry disables phase compensation at low output currents to increase open loop gain, resolving instability in regulated voltage.
A feed-forward compensated voltage regulator injects a compensation current into the control node to stabilize the feedback loop.
