Background
A low drop-out regulator (LDO) is a commonly used linear voltage regulator circuit, and can provide a low-error and stable output voltage to an output terminal of the LDO through a feedback loop. In general, the phase delay caused by a feedback loop is counteracted by using a miller compensation method by the LDO, so that the stability of the output voltage is ensured.
At present, one conventional miller compensation method is a cascode miller compensation method. In the method, the pole in the LDO can be pushed away by connecting the cascode miller compensation circuit between the source of the cascode transistor in the LDO and the output end of the LDO, so that the output voltage of the LDO can be stabilized.
However, since the cascode miller compensation circuit spans a larger gain, a new small inner loop (SL) is introduced into the LDO. Thus, the new inner small loop has one zero and three poles, resulting in a decrease in the stability of the new inner small loop, which in turn destroys the stability of the LDO.

The specific meaning of the terms in this application will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art in a specific context.
One conventional miller compensation method is miller compensation. Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a linear voltage regulator provided by a conventional miller compensation method. As shown in fig. 1, a capacitor CC is connected between a gate of a P-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) and a drain of the P-type power transistor, so that an equivalent capacitance formed by the P-type power transistor and the capacitor CC increases, resulting in a pole of an output terminal of the error amplifier becoming a dominant pole and a pole of an output terminal of the LDO becoming a subordinate pole, i.e., gmp/CL. Wherein gmp is the transconductance of the P-type power tube, and CL is the load capacitance. At this time, the unity gain bandwidth (unity gain bandwidth, UGB) of the LDO loop is gm1/CC. Gm1 is the transconductance of transistor Q1 and the transconductance of transistor Q2. Therefore, the stability of the LDO loop can be realized only by the fact that the secondary pole point gmp/CL is larger than UGB. That is, gm1/CC < gmp/CL.
However, due to the introduction of the capacitor CC, there is a feed-forward path in the LDO loop from the output of the error amplifier to the capacitor CC and then to the output of the LDO. Thus, a right half-plane zero is introduced. Thus, the stability of the LDO loop is reduced.
Meanwhile, due to the stability requirement of the LDO, the secondary pole point gmp/CL needs to be larger than UGB. Therefore, the load capacitance CL cannot exceed (gmp×cc)/gm 1, resulting in a smaller range of load capacitances CL that can be driven by the miller compensation method.
In addition, since the power supply voltage VDD is routed from the transistor Q5 to the capacitor CC and then to the output of the LDO, and the transistor Q6 is routed from the transistors Q4, Q2, Q1 and Q3 to the capacitor CC and then to the output of the LDO, the output voltage VOUT of the LDO is susceptible to noise from the power supply. Thus, the miller-compensated power supply rejection is poor.
The above-described miller compensation method has drawbacks. Therefore, the cascode miller compensation method is more commonly used.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a linear voltage regulator provided by another conventional miller compensation method. As shown in fig. 2, one end of the CC capacitor is connected to the output end of the LDO, and the other end of the CC capacitor is connected to the source end of the cascode transistor Q3. Thus, the two ends of the CC capacitor are connected across a larger gain, so that the secondary point (gmp×cc)/(C1×cl) of the LDO loop is farther than the secondary point gmp/CL in the miller compensation method. Wherein C1 is the parasitic capacitance of the output terminal of the error amplifier a.
Since there is no feed-forward path between the output of the error amplifier a to the output of the LDO in this cascode miller compensation method. Therefore, the problem that the Miller compensation method introduces a right half plane zero point is solved.
Meanwhile, since the capacitor CC is connected across the source of the transistor Q3 and the output terminal of the LDO, that is, the capacitor CC is connected across two nodes far from the power supply voltage VDD. Therefore, the power supply rejection ratio of the cascode miller compensation method is better than that of the miller compensation method.
In addition, under the cascode miller compensation method, the loop stability condition of the LDO is: gm1/CC < (gmp×cc)/(C1×cl). At this time, the stable condition makes the range of the load capacitance CL that can be driven by the cascode miller compensation method large.
However, the capacitor CC bridges the larger gain in the cascode miller compensation method, which introduces a new small internal loop (SL) inside the LDO. The new inner loop SL is coupled to the source of the transistor Q3 through the capacitor CC from the output of the LDO, and then from the source of the transistor Q3 to the output of the error amplifier a, and finally back to the output of the LDO through the P-type power transistor.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the amplitude frequency and the phase frequency of a new inner loop in the cascode miller compensation method. As shown in fig. 3, the new inner loop SL has a zero advance z0=0 at frequency f=0, which is caused by capacitive CC coupling. At the output of LDO there is a new main pole p of internal small loop SL 1,SL Wherein p is 1,SL =1/(roeq×cl), roeq is the equivalent capacitance of the output terminal of the LDO. The secondary point p of the new inner small loop SL consisting of the capacitance CC and the source impedance 1/gm3 of the transistor Q3 2,SL Wherein p is 2,SL Gm3/CC. The secondary point p of the new inner small loop SL consisting of the parasitic capacitance C1 of the output of the error amplifier a and the impedance roEA of the output of the error amplifier a 3,SL Wherein p is 3,SL =1/(roEA*C1)。
Thus, the secondary point p of the new inner small loop SL 3,SL The corresponding phase is 180 deg., resulting in a new inner loop SL with a phase easily exceeding 180 deg., which reduces the stability of the new inner loop.
Therefore, the new inner small loop SL has one zero and three poles, resulting in a decrease in the stability of the new inner small loop SL, which in turn, deteriorates the stability of the LDO.
If the stability of the new inner small loop SL is improved, one secondary point in the new inner small loop SL needs to be pushed out of the UGB of the new inner small loop SL. That is, the number of secondary poles of the new inner small loop SL is reduced.
At the secondary point p of the push-off new inner small loop SL 3,SL In the case of (a), the parasitic capacitance C1 at the output of the error amplifier a is generally determined by the size of the P-type power transistor, which is determined by the load current IL. Based on this, only the impedance roEA at the output of the error amplifier a can be reduced. However, this reduces the gain of the LDO loop, causing the output of the LDO to be electrical The error of the voltage VOUT increases, and the load adjustment rate of the LDO is reduced.
At the secondary point p of the push-off new inner small loop SL 2,SL The magnitude of the capacitance CC is determined by the stability of the LDO loop, while the maximum value of 1/gm3 of the source impedance of transistor Q3 is limited by the process and power consumption of transistor Q3. Based on this, the secondary point p of the new inner small loop SL 2,SL It is difficult to increase.
Based on the above analysis, if the stability of the new inner small loop SL is improved, one secondary pole of the new inner small loop SL needs to be pushed out of the UGB of the new inner small loop SL. Meanwhile, the impedance roEA of the output end of the error amplifier A is considered to be related to the precision of the output voltage VOUT of the LDO. Based on this, the secondary point p of the new inner small loop SL 2,SL Pushing out of the UGB of the new inner small loop SL.
Since the maximum value of 1/gm3 of the source impedance of transistor Q3 is limited by the process and power consumption of transistor Q3. Therefore, the present application increases the minor point p of the new inner small loop SL by decreasing the source impedance of transistor Q3 by 1/gm3 2,SL . Therefore, the aim of the invention of maintaining the high precision of the output voltage VOUT of the LDO is achieved while the novel inner small loop SL of the LDO is stable.
The application provides a linear voltage stabilizing circuit, a chip and electronic equipment.
In the present application, the electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a modem, which is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Wherein the fifth transistor M5, the third transistor M3, the compensation circuit 400 and the voltage constant output circuit 500 form an inner small loop SL ', and the first impedance attenuation circuit 200 is within the inner small loop SL'.
The voltage constant output circuit 500 may transmit the feedback voltage VFB to the cascode differential operational amplifier 100.
The feedback voltage VFB is used to indicate the output voltage VOUT of the linear voltage stabilizing circuit. When the output voltage VOUT becomes large, the feedback voltage VFB becomes large. As the output voltage VOUT becomes smaller, the feedback voltage VFB becomes smaller.
The cascode differential operational amplifier 100 may perform error amplification on the reference voltage VREF and the feedback voltage VFB to obtain an amplified signal, and transmit the amplified signal to the voltage constant output circuit 500.

The second impedance attenuation circuit 300 may change the on-current of the fourth transistor M4 when the output voltage VOUT changes, so that the impedance at the source of the fourth transistor M4 decreases.
When the output voltage VOUT becomes large, the feedback voltage VFB becomes large, and the gate-source voltage of the second transistor M2 becomes large. In this way, the source voltage of the fourth transistor M4 increases, and the on-current of the fourth transistor M4 decreases. Further, the second impedance attenuation circuit 300 reduces the source voltage of the fourth transistor M4 by reducing the on-current of the fourth transistor M4, thereby reducing the source voltage of the fourth transistor M4. In this way, the on-current of the fourth transistor M4 increases, and negative feedback is introduced to the source of the fourth transistor M4, so that the impedance at the source of the fourth transistor M4 decreases.
Accordingly, the second impedance attenuation circuit 300 may increase the on-current of the fourth transistor M4 when the output voltage VOUT increases, so that the impedance at the source of the fourth transistor M4 decreases.
When the output voltage VOUT becomes smaller, the feedback voltage VFB becomes smaller, and the gate-source voltage of the second transistor M2 becomes smaller. In this way, the source voltage of the fourth transistor M4 becomes small, and the on-current of the fourth transistor M4 becomes large. Further, the second impedance attenuation circuit 300 increases the source voltage of the fourth transistor M4 to increase the source voltage of the fourth transistor M4 by increasing the on-current of the fourth transistor M4.

At this time, the impedance at the source of the fourth transistor M4 and the impedance at the source of the third transistor M3 can be expressed by formula (1):
wherein r is in3 To introduce negative feedback on the source of the fourth transistor M4 and the source of the third transistor M3A is a multiple of the decrease in the impedance at the source of the fourth transistor M4 and the impedance at the source of the third transistor M3, g m3 To the impedance at the source of the fourth transistor M4 and the impedance at the source of the third transistor M3 when no negative feedback is introduced at the source of the fourth transistor M4 and the source of the third transistor M3.
Based on this, the pole on the source of the third transistor M3 can be expressed by formula (2):

Due to the pole P on the source of the third transistor M3 M3 Relative to the previous pole p 2,SL Gm3/Cc is increased by a-fold, whereas a is typically able to provide a gain of at least 10-20 dB. Thus, the pole P on the source of the third transistor M3 M3 Can be pushed by 1-2 orders of magnitude. Thus, the pole P on the source of the third transistor M3 is easily turned on M3 The design is outside the UGB of the inner small loop SL' of the LDO.
To sum up, the pole P on the source of the third transistor M3 is eliminated M3
The linear voltage stabilizing circuit, the chip and the electronic equipment can change the conduction current of the fourth transistor when the output voltage changes through the second impedance attenuation circuit. In this way, the source of the fourth transistor introduces negative feedback, reducing the impedance at the source of the fourth transistor, enabling the impedance at the source of the fourth transistor to be balanced with the impedance at the source of the third transistor. The first impedance attenuation circuit can change the on current of the third transistor when the output voltage changes. In this way, negative feedback is introduced into the source of the third transistor, so that the impedance at the source of the third transistor is reduced, and the magnitude of the pole at the source of the third transistor is increased.

The first operational amplifier component A1 and the second operational amplifier component A2 are operational amplifier components.
Based on the description of the above embodiments, one possible implementation of an op-amp component is exemplary. Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a linear voltage stabilizing circuit according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 7, the op-amp assembly may include: and a seventh transistor M7.
The first terminal of the seventh transistor M7 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the voltage constant output circuit 500 or to the control terminal of the sixth transistor M6, the control terminal of the seventh transistor M7 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the third transistor M3 or to the second terminal of the fourth transistor M4, and the second terminal of the seventh transistor M7 is electrically connected to the second terminal of the third transistor M3 or to the second terminal of the fourth transistor M4.
When the operational amplifier component is the first operational amplifier component A1, the connection relationship of the operational amplifier component is that the first end of the seventh transistor M7 is electrically connected to the second end of the constant voltage output circuit 500, the control end of the seventh transistor M7 is electrically connected to the second end of the third transistor M3, and the second end of the seventh transistor M7 is electrically connected to the second end of the third transistor M3.
When the operational amplifier component is the second operational amplifier component A2, the connection relationship of the operational amplifier component is that the control end of the sixth transistor M6 is electrically connected to the first end of the seventh transistor M7, the control end of the seventh transistor M7 is electrically connected to the second end of the fourth transistor M4, and the second end of the seventh transistor M7 is electrically connected to the second end of the fourth transistor M4.
The resistance of the first resistor R1 and the resistance of the second resistor R2 need to be such that the voltage across the first resistor R1 and the voltage across the second resistor R2 are greater than the threshold voltage of the seventh transistor M7. In this way, the seventh transistor M7 may be turned on.
Next, a process of how the first operational amplifier component changes the on-current of the third transistor M3 will be described in detail with reference to fig. 7, so that the impedance on the source of the third transistor M3 is reduced, and the pole on the source of the third transistor M3 is eliminated.
When the output voltage VOUT increases, the on-current of the third transistor M3 decreases, and both the voltage at the first terminal of the seventh transistor M7 and the voltage at the control terminal of the seventh transistor M7 decrease, so that the on-current of the seventh transistor M7 decreases. In this way, the voltage of the second terminal of the seventh transistor T1 decreases, so that the operational amplifier device can output the reduced first voltage. Further, the on-current of the third transistor M3 becomes large. Thus, the source of the third transistor M3 introduces negative feedback, reducing the impedance on the source of the third transistor M3.
When the output voltage VOUT decreases, the on-current of the third transistor M3 increases, and both the voltage at the first terminal of the seventh transistor M7 and the voltage at the control terminal of the seventh transistor M7 increase, thereby increasing the on-current of the seventh transistor M7. In this way, the voltage at the second end of the seventh transistor M7 increases, so that the operational amplifier component can output the first voltage that becomes larger. Further, the on-current of the third transistor M3 becomes small. Thus, the source of the third transistor M3 introduces negative feedback, reducing the impedance on the source of the third transistor M3.
At this time, the gain of the first operational amplifier component is about g m7 r o /2. As such, the impedance at the source of the third transistor M3 can be expressed by equation (3):
wherein r is in3 G is the impedance at the source of the third transistor M3 m7 r o And/2 is the gain of the first operational amplifier component.
Based on this, the pole on the source of the third transistor M3 can be expressed by formula (4):
wherein P is M3 Is the pole on the source of the third transistor M3, r in3 Cc is the capacitance provided by the compensation circuit 400 for the impedance at the source of the third transistor M3.
Due to the pole P on the source of the third transistor M3 M3 Relative to the previous pole p 2,SL Gm3/Cc increases g m7 r o 2 times the pole P on the source of the third transistor M3 M3 By 1 order of magnitude. Thus, the pole P on the source of the third transistor M3 is easily turned on M3 The design is outside the UGB of the inner small loop SL' of the LDO.
Meanwhile, since the first terminal of the seventh transistor M7 and the control terminal of the seventh transistor M7 are connected through the first resistor R1 or the second resistor R2, a variation in the voltage VEA of the second terminal of the fifth transistor M5 does not cause a variation in the on-current of the seventh transistor M7. Therefore, the seventh transistor M7 still exhibits a high impedance state at the second terminal of the fifth transistor M5. Thus, designing the op-amp component in this way does not reduce the impedance at the second end of the fifth transistor M5. Therefore, the high gain of the LDO loop is maintained, and the high precision of the output voltage VOUT of the LDO is realized.
In summary, the operational amplifier component changes the on-current of the third transistor M3 and the on-current of the fourth transistor M4 through the seventh transistor M7, so that the source of the fourth transistor M4 and the source of the third transistor M3 introduce negative feedback, and the impedance on the source of the third transistor M3 and the impedance on the source of the fourth transistor M4 are reduced. In addition, the operational amplifier component designed in the mode is simple, practical, efficient and low in power consumption.

The bias current device may include a first bias current meter IB1, a second bias current meter IB2, and a third bias current meter 2IB.
When the operational amplifier component is the first operational amplifier component A1, the connection relationship of the operational amplifier component is that the first end of the eighth transistor M8 is electrically connected to the second end of the third transistor M3, the first end of the ninth transistor M9 and the first end of the bias current device are both electrically connected to the second end of the constant voltage output circuit 500, and the second end of the ninth transistor M9 and the third end of the bias current device are both electrically connected to the second end of the third transistor M3.
When the operational amplifier component is the second operational amplifier component A2, the connection relationship of the operational amplifier component is that the first end of the eighth transistor M8 is electrically connected with the second end of the fourth transistor M4, the first end of the ninth transistor M9 and the first end of the bias current device are both electrically connected with the control end of the sixth transistor M6, and the second end of the ninth transistor M9 and the third end of the bias current device are both electrically connected with the second end of the fourth transistor M4.
The operational amplifier component changes the on current of the third transistor M3 through the eighth transistor M8 and the ninth transistor M9, so that the requirements of the eighth transistor M8 and the ninth transistor M9 on the power supply voltage VDD are lower. That is, the operational amplifier module designed in this way can be used both in the case of a low supply voltage VDD and in the case of a high supply voltage VDD.
The process of changing the on-current of the third transistor M3 through the eighth transistor M8 and the ninth transistor M9 is similar to the process of changing the on-current of the third transistor M3 through the seventh transistor M7, and will not be described here.
In summary, the on-current of the third transistor M3 is changed by the eighth transistor M8 and the ninth transistor M9, so that the source of the fourth transistor M4 and the source of the third transistor M3 introduce negative feedback, and the impedance at the source of the third transistor M3 and the impedance at the source of the fourth transistor M4 are reduced.
