A novel dual-feed low-dropout regulator
2015
A novel dual-feed (DF) low-dropout (LDO) is presented. The DF-LDO adopts dual control loops to maintain the output voltage. The dual control loops include a feedback loop and a feedforward loop. There is an equilibrium point in dual control loops, and the equilibrium point is the output voltage of the DF-LDO. In addition, the transient performance is optimized by adjusting the damping ratio and natural frequency. With a 1 μ F decoupling capacitor, the proposed DF-LDO is fabricated in a 0.18 μ m CMOS process and its output voltage is 1.5 V. When the workload changes from 100 μ A to 100 mA in 100 ns, load regulation of 7 mV for a 100 mA step is achieved, the settling time is 997 ns and the undershoot is 12.8 mV; when the workload changes from 100 mA to 100 μ A in 100 ns, the settling time is 249 ns with an imperceptible overshoot.
