Feedback signal Vfb is taken between resistance R 1 and resistance R 2, and receives the positive input of error amplifier EA.Because it is exactly sign-changing amplifier that PMOS adjusts pipe itself, so receiving the positive input of error amplifier EA, feedback signal consists of feedback loop.The reference voltage that band-gap reference produces is received error amplifier EA negative input.The grid that PMOS adjusts pipe is received in the output of error amplifier EA.PMOS adjusts the source electrode of pipe MP as input, receives input power Vin end, receives the output end vo ut of the voltage stabilizer of LDO together with the end of drain electrode and external capacitor C.Error amplifier EA, P type field effect transistor MP and feedback resistance R1, R2 have formed the feedback loop of LDO together, are used for regulated output voltage.If ignore the gain error of LDO, can obtain output voltage:
Vout = Vref × ( R 1 + R 2 R 2 )
When load current is jumped to heavy duty or jumped to underloading by heavy duty by underloading, to be load current by little unexpected change large or by reducing greatly suddenly, because bound-time is short, and the limited bandwidth of LDO, can produce voltage overshoot at output terminal, and output stablize time of needs from fluctuate to can be more of a specified duration, the feedback loop of LDO itself and limited output bandwidth be with can't the fast and stable transmission voltage, thereby rear one-level circuit can't be worked.
At present, industry has gone out the scheme of many raising LDO transient responses, such as adopting the BUFFER(buffer memory) the level spread bandwidth etc., although these schemes can arrive certain effect, their defective is the circuit structure more complicated, and has increased extra power consumption.
