In this paper, an output-capacitorless, low-dropout (LDO) regulator is designed, which consumes $4.5{\mu}A$ quiescent current. Proposed LDO regulator is realized using two amplifier for good load regulation and fast response time, which provide high gain, high bandwidth, and high slew rate. In addition, a one-shot current boosting circuit is added for current control to charge and discharge the parasitic capacitance at the pass transistor gate. As a result, response time is improved during load-current transition. The designed circuit is implemented through a $0.11-{\mu}m$ CMOS process. We experimentally verify output voltage fluctuation of 260mV and recovery time of $0.8{\mu}s$ at maximum load current 200mA.

A full adders is an important component in applications of digital signal processors and microprocessors. Thus it is imperative to improve the power dissipation and operating speed for designing a full adder. We propose a new adder with modified version of conventional static CMOS and pass transistor logic. The carry-out generation circuit of the proposed full adder is different from the conventional XOR-XNOR structure. The output Cout of module III is generated from input A, B and Cin directly without passing through module I as in conventional structure. Thus output Cout is faster by reducing operation step. The proposed module III uses the static CMOS logic style, which results full-swing operation and good driving capability. The proposed 1bit full adder has the advantages over the conventional static CMOS, CPL, TGA, TFA, HPSC, 14T, and TSAC logic. The delay time is improved by 4.3% comparing to the best value known. PDP(power delay product) is improved by 9.8% comparing to the best value. Simulation has been carried out using a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS design rule for simulation purposes. The physical design has been verified using HSPICE.
