This chapter mainly introduces the representative digital LDO (DLDO) structures, including shift register-based DLDO, coarse-fine-tuning DLDO, ADC-based DLDO, event-driven DLDO, computational DLDO, and digital-analog hybrid LDO. In the shift register-based DLDO section, we introduce the classic structure, adaptive frequency technique, and successive approximation recursive (SAR) DLDO. For the coarse-fine-tuning DLDO, we discuss its mechanism of balancing accuracy and transient response and introduce several classic examples. In ADC-based DLDO, we discuss voltage-domain quantizer, time-domain quantizer, and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. In the event-driven DLDO section, we introduce the differences and advantages of event-driven and time-driven and discuss the challenges and corresponding technical points in the design of event-driven DLDO. Next, we introduce two computational DLDO control schemes: the charge and discharge algorithm, and the time-based exponential control. In the digital-analog hybrid DLDO section, we introduce four control schemes: passive analog-assisted (AA), active AA, digital-assisted, and analog-digital merged. Finally, we discuss the stability and reliability issues in advanced processes and large voltage difference conditions, with some solutions.

摘要

This chapter mainly introduces the representative digital LDO (DLDO) structures, including shift register-based DLDO, coarse-fine-tuning DLDO, ADC-based DLDO, event-driven DLDO, computational DLDO, and digital-analog hybrid LDO. In the shift register-based DLDO section, we introduce the classic structure, adaptive frequency technique, and successive approximation recursive (SAR) DLDO. For the coarse-fine-tuning DLDO, we discuss its mechanism of balancing accuracy and transient response and introduce several classic examples. In ADC-based DLDO, we discuss voltage-domain quantizer, time-domain quantizer, and proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. In the event-driven DLDO section, we introduce the differences and advantages of event-driven and time-driven and discuss the challenges and corresponding technical points in the design of event-driven DLDO. Next, we introduce two computational DLDO control schemes: the charge and discharge algorithm, and the time-based exponential control. In the digital-analog hybrid DLDO section, we introduce four control schemes: passive analog-assisted (AA), active AA, digital-assisted, and analog-digital merged. Finally, we discuss the stability and reliability issues in advanced processes and large voltage difference conditions, with some solutions.
