A stable low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator topology is presented in this paper. LDOs are linear voltage regulators that do not produce ripples in the DC voltage. Despite the close proximity of the supply input voltage to the output, this regulator will maintain the desired output voltage. Based on a detailed comparison between NMOS and PMOS-based LDOs, we decided to opt for a PMOS design because it does not require an additional charge pump as compared to NMOS. A demonstration of how Miller capacitance enhances overall design stability is also presented here. Multiple pass elements are arranged in parallel in order to increase the current carrying capacity of the pass network.

翻译后的摘要:
本文提出了一种稳定的低压差(LDO)稳压器拓扑结构。LDO是一种线性稳压器,不会产生直流电压的波动。尽管供电输入电压与输出电压非常接近,但该稳压器仍将保持所需的输出电压。通过对NMOS和PMOS LDO之间的详细比较,我们决定选择PMOS设计,因为与NMOS相比,它不需要额外的电荷泵。本文还演示了米勒电容如何增强整体设计稳定性。多个传输元件并联排列以提高传输网络的电流承载能力。
