Abstract

In this paper present Low Drop-Out (LDO) regulator that improved load transient characteristics due to the push-pull detection structure. The response characteristic of the voltage delta value is improved due to the proposed push-pull sensing circuit structure between the input terminal of the LDO regulator pass transistor and the output terminal of the internal error amplifier. Voltage value has improved load transient characteristics than conventional LDO regulator. Compared to the conventional LDO regulator, it has an improved response speed of approximately 244 ns at rising time and approximately 90 ns at falling time. The proposed circuit was simulated by the samsung 0.13um process using Cadence's Specter and Virtuoso simulator.

본 논문에서는 push-pull 감지 회로 구조로 인해 load transient 특성을 개선시킨 LDO를 제안하였다. LDO 레귤레이터 패스 트랜지스터의 입력단과 내부 오차증폭기의 출력단 사이에 제안된 push-pull 감지 회로 구조로 인한 전압 델타 값의 응답 특성을 개선시켜 종래의 LDO 레귤레이터보다 load transient 특성에서 우수한 효과를 가진다. 기존의 LDO 레귤레이터보다 rising time에서는 약 244 ns, falling time에서는 약 90 ns 만큼의 향상된 응답속도를 가진다. 제안된 회로는 Cadence사의 Spectre, Virtuoso 시뮬레이션 tool을 사용하여 samsung 0.13um 공정으로 특성 및 결과를 시뮬레이션 하였다.
