Abstract

A low dropout regulator comprises an input terminal, an output terminal, a pass element, and a feedback network. In this presentation, a split pass element structure and a pole-zero pairs cancellation scheme is proposed for stability compensation. The minimum requirement on the equivalent series resistance of the load capacitor, due to stability consideration is effectively removed. This approach can improve the transient response of the DC output voltage.

The gate G1 of the first transistor 401 is connected to the output terminal of the error amplifier 5〇2. And it is worth noting that 'the first resistive element 404 of the power unit 40, the ^ two resistive element 405 can be made of a resistive or resistive element or other resistive, two combined elements, such as a gold oxide half operating in a linear region. A crystal is formed. The capacitance reading can be made up of a parasitic element of the transistor, an external capacitive element, or other combination of capacitive elements, such as a thin film capacitor. In addition, the number of transistors, the number of capacitors, and the number of resistive elements included in the power unit in this embodiment are limited to the above. As long as the work = early 70 includes N (N is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2) transistors, N electrical components, and (N-1) resistive elements, and the resistive elements, capacitive Component: The crystal is connected in a similar manner to the above to achieve the effects of the present invention. And the connection manner of the components is between the closed pole and the source of the N capacitive transistors, and one of the resistive elements = the crystal, and the gate terminal of the - the gate is the error Amplifier output ^ ^ The other end of the resistive component is connected to the gate of other transistors respectively. In addition, the source of the transistor is connected to the same node, that is, the low voltage ,, the input end of the benefit ~ And the unregulated DC input voltage is thus the point = input. The transistor finds the vOUT, which is the output of the 点V〇uT. The private use case adjusts the parameters of each component in the power unit that can be adjusted. The size of the carcass, the ratio of length to width, or the separate structure of the ray-element system can make the frequency response of the transfer function of the _1 electric power 1 as shown in the solid line of Figure 7. The split parallel structure can generate a number of poles of 1247978 point-zero pairs in the specified frequency range, that is, the 零 and zero points in Fig. 7 have a phase offset of "y,) = 3: Z3. Due to the poles Each of the separate components of the power unit adjusts the parameters of Z1, p2, Z2, p3, and Z3 of the present invention, and can respectively shift the rate of the electric transfer function of P1 and node Q, and the electrical output of the second end νουτ. And the equivalent slope of the gain is the minimum phase shift of the hand/should be -45. This can make the low pressure drop linear pressure release ^ ecade, as shown by the dotted line in Figure 7. As shown by the eight solid line, its i shift function The frequency response is as shown in Figure 602. The pole position 3 is due to a „Electrical, 6. It is phase-shifted from the first load. Therefore, it can be seen from Figure 8 and it will cause _90 degrees to cause low _ The stability _ is accompanied by a minimum of 45 degrees, and the zero point is the same as the compensation method. maintain. This compensation method is the value of the pole _: when there is a series resistance, that is, the second load resistor 6〇3 becomes =2^^^_ resistor 6()3 will be built with the load capacitance 6〇1 itself zesr=(2 7Γ The value of ResrCl) '1 is the value of its load capacitance 601, and ^ is the equivalent series resistance value of the second load resistor 603 load capacitance 601. It can be predicted from Fig. 8 that if the S S is in the frequency, it will increase the unity gain frequency, and the phase boundary will be reduced due to the influence of the parasitic pole of the south frequency. The upper limit of the value R of the second load resistor 603 is limited to be stable first, but the lower limit thereof is not required to be defined. Therefore, the value of the second load resistor 6〇3, which is the value of the second load resistor 6〇3, is the limit of the equivalent series resistance of the load valley 601, as shown in Fig. 9. Since the lower limit of the second load resistor 603 is removed, the load capacitance 601 having a very small series resistance value can be used, that is, the second load resistor 603 can improve the transient state of the DC output voltage of the low-dropout linear regulator. = Right brother a load resistor 603 value is very small, when the load resistor 602 in Figure 6 is from small to instant, for example, within 1 microsecond, there is a drastic change, resulting in 1247978, out, the flow has a dramatic change, for example That is, 100mA, the transient response of the DC voltage at the output ν〇υτ is shown in Figure 10. The difference between the transient minimum voltage VMiN2 and the steady-state voltage VSTEADY VDIFF2 is smaller than that of VDlm in Figure 4, which significantly improves the transient response of the DC output voltage of the low-dropout linear regulator. In the above-mentioned invention, the lower limit of the parasitic equivalent series resistance value of the load capacitor 601 in the low-dropout linear regulator can be removed, that is, the equivalent series resistance value of the load capacitance 6〇1 parasitic can be zero, so that the load capacitance can be minimized. The equivalent series resistance of 6〇1 is used to effectively improve the transient response of the low-dropout linear regulator. However, the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, the simple equivalent changes and modifications made by the scope of the present invention and the description of the invention, All are still within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
