Abstract

The quick transient response technology of low-voltage differential linear voltage regulators (LDO) has emerged as a research hotspot due to the growing need for dynamic power management in 5G and IoT devices. This article reviews three advanced LDO designs: 1)The dynamic high-impedance charge pump LDO, which suppresses limit cycle oscillations by connecting the output to the power tube grid via an ACHZ loop and employing a 1-bit auxiliary charge pump, achieved a sub-4-FS optimization coefficient (FoM) and a response time of 6.9 ns; 2) The load step reaction time was lowered to 68 ns by hybrid control LDO, in conjunction with digital rough tuning (DLDO) and analog fine tuning (ALDO), using the countable bidirectional binary search (CBBS) algorithm; 3) Adaptive gain layered Miller compensation NMOS LDO dynamically modifies Miller capacitance and pre-weighted reverse bias to maintain 17.5 MHz bandwidth over 0.1–300 mA load range. These solutions are superior to traditional designs in terms of process flexibility, stability, and transient responsiveness. To increase LDO performance in new applications, the future must improve high-frequency noise suppression and optimize static power.
