Description
Summary:A high slew-rate amplifier is proposed in the Ultra-Low Quiescent Current Slew-Rate Enhanced OCL-LDO regulator design with improved transient response, using push-pull output to enhance driving capability that only requires ultra-low quiescent current (IQ ~1μA ). Using the tail-current in conventional amplifier design eliminates the trade-off between small IQ and high slew-rate. Minimum power loss of OCL-LDO regulator without transient-response degradation is implemented by small dropout voltage VDO with large-size pass transistor and ultra-low IQ. With the proposed design, stability of OCL-LDO regulators has gradually improved without using any on-chip and off-chip compensation capacitors. This is beneficial to technologies which require high-area efficiency.
