Abstract
The flipped voltage follower (FVF), a variant of the common-drain transistor amplifier, comprising local feedback, finds application in circuits such as voltage buffers, current mirrors, class AB amplifiers, frequency compensation circuits and low dropout voltage regulators (LDOs). One of the most important characteristics of the FVF, is its low output impedance. In this tutorial-flavored paper, we perform a theoretical analysis of the transfer function, poles and zeros of the output impedance of the FVF and correlate it with transistor-level simulation results. Utilization of the FVF and its variants has wide application in the analog, mixed-signal and power management circuit design space.
