Abstract

In this paper, we propose LDO regulator to operate using Pseude resistor instead of widely used Feedback resistor in conventional LDO regulator. Proposed Feedback network using Pseudo resistor has smaller area than the conventional feedback resistor and plays the role of an conventional LDO regulator. Thus, it has been proposed to compensate for the disadvantages of LDO regulator with noise. Although proposed LDO regulator compared with conventional LDO regulator has similar performance, this LDO regulator provide higher efficiency by reducing the overshoot and decreasing the area. This circuit was designed to using a Dongbu Hitek 0.18um CMOS process.

본 논문에서는 기존 LDO regulator에서 많이 사용 되는 피드백 저항을 Pseudo resistor를 이용하여 동작하기 위한 LDO regulator를 제안한다. 제안 된 Pesudo resistor를 사용한 Feedback network는 기존 피드백 저항보다 면적이 작으면서도 기존 LDO regulator의 역할을 하며, 노이즈를 갖는 LDO regulator의 단점을 보완하고자 제안되었다. 기존 LDO regulator와 비교하여 비슷한 성능을 가짐에도 불구하고, Overshoot를 감소시키고 면적을 줄여 더 높은 효율을 제공할 수 있다. 설계한 회로는 동부 하이텍의 0.18um CMOS 공정을 이용하였다.
