Abstract
A flipped voltage follower structure based on a dynamic current boosting technique is proposed which enables the fast-transient behavior. It is applied to an output capacitor-less low-dropout (LDO) regulator to improve the output transient response and reduce the over/undershoots of the output voltage when the load current or the input voltage is suddenly changed. The proposed low-dropout regulator is simulated in 0.18 μm CMOS technology, which the output voltage is regulated at 1 V with a dropout voltage of about 114 mV. The output voltage over/undershoot amplitudes of the proposed LDO are obtained in 99.52/551.8 mV with the settling time of fewer than 1.3 μs for the load current changes from 0.1 to 100 mA with 200 ns rise/fall times.
