This paper aims to extract a closed-form current-voltage (I–V) equation for short channel carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) in saturation region based on the Stanford model and ballistic relation of one channel CNFET. In order to obtain the goal, firstly, the ballistic relation is simplified to a closed-form I–V equation, and then, it is verified by a linear system identification method...
This paper presents an output-capacitorless class-AB low-dropout (LDO) regulator with load current sinking and sourcing ability. The proposed LDO consists of two complementary pass transistors, controlled using a level shifter technique. The transient improvement section applied to the gates of the pass devices enhances the transient performance of the LDO. The proposed LDO is designed in TSMC 0.18...
This paper deals with a comprehensive study and comparison on the conventional linear-assisted converter and a new structure named, LDO-assisted converter based on a new class-AB LDO regulator instead of the conventional linear one, in terms of efficiency, output ripple, and load transient response. The new structure reduces difference between input and output voltages and also switching frequency...
In this paper, a new structure based on linear-assisted DC-DC buck converter principle is proposed. Using a segmented LDO regulator instead of the conventional linear one in the hybrid scheme, reduces the difference between input and output voltages and also the switching frequency of the buck converter, while the circuit provides a lower output ripple, better transient response. In addition, the...
This paper presents an output-capacitorless low-dropout (LDO) regulator based on improved flipped voltage follower power stage for use in power management circuits. A new error amplifier (EA) structure, named as gain-bandwidth enhanced EA, is embedded in the LDO regulator. The LDO regulator is designed for the input and output voltages of 1.2 V and 1 V, respectively. Fast transients, low overshoot...
In this paper, a new structure based on linear-assisted DC-DC buck converter principle is proposed. Using a new class-AB LDO regulator instead of the conventional linear one (based on a push-pull output stage) in the hybrid scheme, reduces the difference between input and output voltages and also the switching frequency of the buck converter. Thus, the proposal achieves higher power efficiency rather...
This paper deals with a circuit proposal along with theoretical analysis to provide a solution for enhancing the stability and transient performance of external capacitorless low-dropout regulators (CL-LDOs) by segmenting the pass transistor to smaller sizes. The stability and transient analysis is carried out on the CL-LDO with two different size-segmented pass transistors in comparison with the...
This article presents a fully-integrated CMOS output-capacitorless low-dropout voltage regulator (LDO). A capacitor multiplier based on a current-mode amplifier is embedded into the error amplifier of the aforementioned LDO to simultaneously enhance the dynamic specifications to load variations, stability by pole splitting, and power saving. The proposed LDO topology is designed and post simulated...
