  • Patent number: 10216209
    Abstract: A digital Low Drop-Out regulator includes: an event-driven circuit for generating a trigger signal by asynchronously detecting whether an output voltage is out of a threshold range to generate a first error information signal and a first control signal; a time-driven circuit for generating a second error information signal by detecting a change in the output voltage synchronized with a clock signal, and generating a second control signal by combining the first and second error information signals; a clock/trigger control circuit for generating the clock signal having a first or second cycle based on the trigger signal and the first and second error information signals; a first array driver for controlling driving force of the output voltage in response to the first control signal; and a second array driver for controlling the driving force of the output voltage in response to the second control signal.

  • Patent number: 10198015
    Abstract: A digital LDO regulator includes: a pulse control circuit for generating a proportional control signal based on an error code, generating an integral control signal that toggles during a first section, which includes an initialization section and an integration section, based on the proportional control signal, and generating a state information signal that defines a steady state section, the initialization section, and the integration section; a proportional control circuit for outputting a first drive signal by multiplying the error code by a proportional gain factor based on the proportional control signal; an integral control circuit for outputting a second drive signal by multiplying the error code by an integral gain factor based on the state information signal and the integral control signal; and a driver for adjusting the output voltage in response to the first drive signal and the second drive signal.
