    Abstract: A voltage regulator circuit comprises an amplifier having an inverting input and a non-inverting input. The amplifier is configured to generate a control signal based on a reference signal at the inverting input of the amplifier and a feedback signal at the non-inverting input of the amplifier. The voltage regulator circuit also comprises an output node, a first power node, a second power node, and a driver that generates a driving current flowing toward the output node in response to the control signal. The driver is coupled between the first power node and the output node. A first transistor having a gate is coupled between the output node and the second power node. A bias circuit outside the amplifier supplies a bias signal to the gate of the first transistor, which is configured to operate in a saturation mode based on the bias signal supplied by the bias circuit.

  • Patent number: 8766613
    Abstract: A method of operating a voltage regulator circuit includes generating a control signal by an amplifier of the voltage regulator circuit. The control signal is generated based on a reference signal at an inverting input of the amplifier and a feedback signal at a non-inverting input of the amplifier. A driving current flowing toward an output node of the voltage regulator circuit is generated by a driver responsive to the control signal, and the driver is coupled between a first power node and the output node. The feedback signal is generated responsive to a voltage level at the output node. A transistor, coupled between the output node and a second power node, is caused to operate in saturation mode during a period while the voltage regulator circuit is operating.

  • Patent number: 8378654
    Abstract: A voltage regulator circuit with high accuracy and Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) is provided. In one embodiment, an op-amp with a voltage reference input to an inverting input has the first output connected to a PMOS transistor's gate. The PMOS transistor's source and drain are each connected to the power supply and the voltage regulator output. The voltage regulator output is connected to an NMOS transistor biased in saturation mode and a series of two resistors. The non-inverting input of the op-amp is connected in between the two resistors for the first feedback loop. The op-amp's second output is connected to the gate of the NMOS transistor through an AC-coupling capacitor for the second feedback loop. The op-amp's first output can be connected to the power supply voltage through a capacitor to further improve high frequency PSRR. In another embodiment, the role of PMOS and NMOS transistors is reversed.
