Full On-Chip CMOS Low-Dropout Voltage Regulator
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a solution to the present bulky external capacitor low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulators with an external capacitorless LDO architecture, where the large external capacitor used in typical LDOs is removed allowing for greater power system integration for system-on-chip (SoC) applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
CMOS transconductance amplifiers, architectures and active filters: a tutorial
TL;DR: In this article, an updated version of a 1985 tutorial paper on active filters using operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) is presented, and the integrated circuit issues involved in active filters (using CMOS transconductances amplifiers) and the progress in this field in the last 15 years is addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Recycling Folded Cascode: A General Enhancement of the Folded Cascode Amplifier
R. Assaad,Jose Silva-Martinez +1 more
TL;DR: A recycling amplifier architecture based on the folded cascode transconductance amplifier is described, which delivers an appreciably enhanced performance over that of the conventional folded by using previously idle devices in the signal path, which results in an enhanced transc conductance, gain, and slew rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
A frequency compensation scheme for LDO voltage regulators
C.K. Chava,Jose Silva-Martinez +1 more
TL;DR: A stable low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator topology for low equivalent series resistance (ESR) capacitive loads is presented and it is demonstrated that this scheme realizes robust frequency compensation, facilitates the use of multilayer ceramic capacitors for the load of LDO regulators, and improves transient response and noise performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A robust feedforward compensation scheme for multistage operational transconductance amplifiers with no Miller capacitors
B.K. Thandri,Jose Silva-Martinez +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a multistage operational transconductance amplifier with a feedforward compensation scheme which does not use Miller capacitors is introduced, which uses the positive phase shift of left-halfplane (LHP) zeros caused by the feedforward path to cancel the negative phase shifting of poles to achieve a good phase margin.
