Abstract :
A 1.21 V output, 100 mA, 0.1 μF-10 μF output capacitor, ESR-independent, low voltage, low drop-out voltage regulator for portable power applications is designed and fabricated in a 0.5 μm CMOS process with an area of 0.22 mm2. The use of a wide-range output capacitor LDO enables reduced target system PCB size and bill of materials (BOM). A 0.05%/V line regulation, 0.001%/mA load regulation with 220 mV drop-out is measured. LDO-specific pole-zero and optimal stability analyses are detailed.
