Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and the detailed description.
The invention aims at the problem that the conventional method for reducing the LDO noise comprises the step of filtering by connecting an RC filter to the output of a traditional LDO circuit structure, and the phenomenon that a large capacitor is required to be added outside a chip for filtering high-frequency noise is avoided.
Referring to fig. 1, the present embodiment will be briefly described with reference to fig. 1. The high-bandwidth capacitor-free LDO structure in the embodiment mainly comprises two modules; the input voltage Vin is amplified to an output end VOUT through a differential operational amplifier circuit and a low-resistance circuit; in the circuit, the operational amplifier module is mainly used for differential amplification, and the low-resistance module is mainly used for reducing the impedance of the output to the ground.
Referring to fig. 2, the high bandwidth capacitor-less LDO structure of the present embodiment includes an operational amplifier a, a load capacitor C2, a bias power vbias, MOS transistors PM1, PM2, and NM1, and an output load capacitor C1, wherein an input voltage Vin is connected to the operational amplifier a. The bias power supply vbias is connected with MOS pipe PM1 to provide bias voltage for it, the drain electrode of MOS pipe PM1 is connected with the drain electrode of MOS pipe NM1, the source electrode of MOS pipe PM1 is connected with the source electrode of MOS pipe PM2, the grid electrode of MOS pipe PM2 is connected with the drain electrodes of MOS pipes PM1 and NM1, the source electrode of MOS pipe NM1 and the drain electrode of MOS pipe PM2 are connected with output terminal VOUT.
Referring to fig. 2, in the dashed box S1, a load capacitor C2 is connected to the output terminal of the operational amplifier a, in order to ensure the stability of the circuit and to improve the Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) of the operational amplifier output; in a dashed line box S2, the MOS transistors PM1, PM2, and NM1 constitute a low resistance module, the bias power supply vbias provides bias voltage for the MOS transistor PM1, and the NM1 is a source follower transistor, which also serves as a power transistor in this embodiment; in a dashed box S3, the resistor R1 and the output load capacitor C1 serve as an output load resistor and an output load capacitor of the output circuit, respectively.
The working principle of the LDO structure is as follows: the operational amplifier A, the low-resistance module and the low-resistance module circuit form a negative feedback circuit for ensuring that the input voltage Vin is equal to the voltage of the output end VOUT.
The low-resistance module circuit comprises MOS tubes PM1, PM2 and NM1, wherein the low-resistance module is of a super source follower structure, and the output impedance of the low-resistance module is obtained through small signal analysis: rout is 1/(g)mn1gmp2rno1) The simple source follower structure output impedance is: rout1 ═ 1/gmn1Therefore, the impedance of the output terminal VOUT to the ground is reduced by g relative to a simple source follower circuit structuremp2rno1X wherein gmn1、rno1Transconductance and impedance of NM1 tube, respectively; gmp2、rpo2Respectively, the transconductance and the impedance of the PM2 tube.
The LDO circuit in this embodiment has two main poles, and the second pole is located at the output end of the circuit

The dominant pole is located at the output of the operational amplifier A and is
Figure BDA0002291248520000042
Where Ra is the output load resistance of the operational amplifier a and C is the output load capacitance of the operational amplifier a.
While the loop stability of the LDO structure is ensured, the capacitor C1 can be increased relative to a simple source follower circuitgmp2ro1Doubling; however, the addition of a large output bypass capacitor C1 actually improves the noise filtering capability of the circuit, thereby eliminating the disadvantage of the output and off-chip bypass large capacitor circuit in filtering noise.
Furthermore, the output impedance is reduced for the circuit, i.e.f is increased, which corresponds to an increase in the distance of the dominant pole from the origin, so that the entire circuit configuration can output a very high bandwidth.
In summary, the LDO structure in the present disclosure can enhance the noise filtering capability of the circuit by adding a larger capacitor inside the LDO structure while ensuring the stability of the circuit, and meanwhile, the defect that the bypass capacitor is added outside the LDO structure in the conventional art is eliminated; in addition, the bandwidth of the whole circuit structure is increased, and a larger bandwidth is obtained.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such modifications and variations.
