Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a low-voltage dropout regulator and more specifically to improving a power supply rejection ratio (PSRR) of the low dropout voltage regulator. The low dropout voltage regulator may be used to generate various voltages for integrated circuits of an electronic device. In some cases, a P-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator may be used. However, the PMOS LDO may not provide a sufficient PSRR or reduction in supply noise. To address these issues, an N-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (NMOS) LDO voltage regulator having an NMOS pass transistor may be used. The NMOS LDO may provide a lower impedance than the PMOS LDO. Further, the NMOS LDO may provide an increased bandwidth and consume a smaller physical area than the PMOS LDO.
