This chapter mainly introduces the core circuits and related classic structures of analog LDO, including single-stage op amps, error amplifiers, compensation technology, buffer, adaptive biasing, etc. For the buffer circuit, we focus on common-source buffers and source follower buffers, including the classic diode-connected common source buffer and super source follower (SSF) structure. In the compensation circuit section, we focus on Miller compensation, nested Miller compensation, damping-factor-control frequency compensation (DFCFC), and dynamic pole-zero compensation. In the biasing section, we introduce adaptive biasing technology and ultralow-power LDO design examples. For the PSR techniques, we analyze the PSR characteristics of output-pole-dominant LDO and internal-pole-dominant LDO and introduce three feedforward ripple cancellation (FFRC) technologies. Flipped-voltage follower (FVF) LDOs are the most commonly used fully integrated LDO architecture. Thus, we introduce a variety of FVF LDO structures and their compensation methods. Finally, we introduce several classic NMOS LDO design cases.

摘要

This chapter mainly introduces the core circuits and related classic structures of analog LDO, including single-stage op amps, error amplifiers, compensation technology, buffer, adaptive biasing, etc. For the buffer circuit, we focus on common-source buffers and source follower buffers, including the classic diode-connected common source buffer and super source follower (SSF) structure. In the compensation circuit section, we focus on Miller compensation, nested Miller compensation, damping-factor-control frequency compensation (DFCFC), and dynamic pole-zero compensation. In the biasing section, we introduce adaptive biasing technology and ultralow-power LDO design examples. For the PSR techniques, we analyze the PSR characteristics of output-pole-dominant LDO and internal-pole-dominant LDO and introduce three feedforward ripple cancellation (FFRC) technologies. Flipped-voltage follower (FVF) LDOs are the most commonly used fully integrated LDO architecture. Thus, we introduce a variety of FVF LDO structures and their compensation methods. Finally, we introduce several classic NMOS LDO design cases.
