Abstract

The output capacitor and its equivalent series resistance (ESR) often limit the stability of a conventional low dropout regulator (LDR). A CMOS LDR with dynamic zero compensation is presented to tolerate the wide range of the output capacitor and the ESR. The stability constraints for the output capacitor with the ESR are derived. The measured LDR is stable for the output capacitor 2nF-47uF with ESR of 0.1-50Omega. The maximum quiescent current of this LDR with a bandgap reference is 43.2uA and its maximum output current is 150 mA for the output voltage of 1.8V.
