Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a fully analog voltage regulator circuit with reference modulation. The voltage regulator circuit includes a low-dropout regulator, a voltage-to-current convert, a resistor-capacitor filter circuit, and an operational amplifier voltage buffer. The voltage regulator circuit minimizes dropout voltage of the circuit by comparing the output voltage of the voltage regulator to a reference voltage and adjusting the output voltage of the op amp voltage buffer, accordingly. The voltage regulator circuit includes two operational amplifiers, wherein the negative input of a first of the two operational amplifiers is coupled to the negative input of a second of the two operational amplifiers through the resistor-capacitor filter circuit.

Abstract: An on chip leakage-current detection device including a first inverter where the magnitude of delay of the output signal of the first inverter is determined by a leakage current of a target device. The leakage-current detection device further includes: a capacitor that is charged by the output signal of the first inverter; a second inverter coupled to capacitor that switches states when the capacitor is charged to a switching level; an odd number of additional inverters coupled in a sequence with a second-inverter output. The output of the leakage-current detection device has a frequency proportional to the leakage of the target device.
