摘要

This paper presents a capacitor-less low-dropout (LDO) regulator for on-chip mobile applications. An additional push-pull current with a capacitive coupling circuit is proposed to significantly enhance the transient response of the LDO regulator. The proposed LDO regulator can deliver an output current of 100mA with a minimum dropout voltage of 0.4V. The circuit was modeled and implemented in a 0.35-mu m CMOS process with a die area of 0.22mm(2). The experimental results show that the LDO regulator can be recovered within 0.5 mu s at a voltage spike less than 90mV.
