초록

다중출력 LDO 레귤레이터는 다양한 공급 전압이 필요한 임베디드 시스템에서 변환 효율을 개선할 수 있는 방안이 된다. 다중 출력을 위한 시분할 구조에서 LDO의 피드백 인자가 작아지면 정착시간이 길어져서 리플 전압이 커진다. 제안하는 토폴로지에서는 기준 전압을 가변하여 일정한 피드백 인자를 구현함으로써 정착시간과 리플 특성을 개선한다. $0.35{\mu}m$ 표준 CMOS 공정으로 설계한 4 채널 프로토타입의 시뮬레이션 결과 제안하는 구조는 피드백 인자가 0.4 이하인 기존 회로보다 정착시간과 리플 특성이 2배 이상 개선되는 것을 입증하였다.

A multiple-output LDO regulator is a good choice in terms of the efficiency in embedded systems requiring various supply voltages. A small feedback factor in LDO incurs the long settling time, resulting in large ripples in the time-multiplexing strategy. A new proposed topology enhances the settling time, and hence the ripples by incorporating the constant feedback factor with different reference voltages. The simulation results of a prototype design in a standard $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process verify that the proposed strategy enhances the settling time and ripple characteristic by more than doubled than a conventional circuit using the feedback factor of less than 0.4.
