In this paper, a fully digital green LDO regulator with ultra-low power consumption of 1.8μW coupled with an excellent current efficiency of 99.99% is proposed. The novelty is the use of a power-aware binary switching technique to control the ON/OFF operation of the respective Power Transistor (PTn)...
