| Summary: | The trend for electronic products is smaller, more portable, multifunctional, wearable and etc. This requires high performance power management to supply for different modules in the chip precisely. Low drop-out (LDO) regulator plays a significant part of on-chip power management, especially in low voltage and low power design, which can be widely used in the IoT applications.
In this work, the design of an output-capacitorless ultra-low supply low dropout LDO regulator is presented in TSMC 40nm CMOS technology. It can operate at 0.6V supply and provide 0.4V dc output voltage with a quiescent current of 18.5μA. Besides, this proposed circuit topology can respond fast to the output load step change from 0 to 25mA with 18mV overshoot and 39mV undershoot. Besides, the simulated line regulation is 1.63μV/mV and load regulation is 0.073mV/mA. The proposed regulator is very useful for IoT applications. |
