hief technology officer 4 components edit schematic of a low dropout regulator the main components are a power fet and a differential amplifier error amplifier one input of the differential amplifier monitors the fraction of the output determined by the resistor ratio of r1 and r2 the second input to the differential amplifier is from a stable voltage reference bandgap reference if the output voltage rises too high relative to the reference voltage the drive to the power fet changes to maintain a constant output voltage regulation edit low dropout ldo regulators operate similarly to all linear voltage regulators the main difference between ldo and non ldo regulators is their schematic topology instead of an emitter follower topology low dropout regulators consist of an open collector or open drain topology where the transistor may be easily driven into saturation with the voltages available to the regulator this allows the voltage drop from the unregulated voltage to the regulated voltage to be as low as limited to the saturation voltage across the transistor 2 appendix a for the circuit given in the figure to the right the output voltage is given as v out 1 r 1 r 2 v ref displaystyle v_ text out left 1 frac r_ 1 r_ 2 right v_ text ref if a bipolar transistor is used as opposed to a field effect transistor or jfet significant additional power may be lost to control it whereas non ldo regulators take that power from voltage drop itself for high voltages under very low in out difference there will be significant power loss in the control circuit 5 because the power control element is an inverter another inverting amplifier is required to control it increasing schematic complexity compared to simple linear regulator citation needed power fets may be preferable in order to reduce power consumption yet this poses problems when the regulator is used for low input voltage since fets usually require 5 to 10 v to close completely power fets may also increase the cost efficiency and heat dissipation edit the power dissipated in the pass element and internal circuitry p loss displaystyle p_ text loss of a typical ldo is calculated as follows p loss v in v out i out v in i q displaystyle p_ text loss left v_ text in v_ text out right i_ text out v_ text in i_ text q where i q displaystyle i_ text q is the quiescent current required by the ldo for its internal circuitry therefore one can calculate the efficiency as follows η p in p loss p in displaystyle eta frac p_ text in p_ text loss p_ text in where p in v in i in displaystyle p_ text in v_ text in i_ text in however when the ldo is in full operation i e supplying current to the load generally i out i q displaystyle i_ text out gg i_ text q this allows us to reduce p loss displaystyle p_ text loss to the following p loss v in v out i out displaystyle p_ text loss left v_ text in v_ text out right i_ text out which further reduces the efficiency equation to η v out v in displaystyle eta frac v_ text out v_ text in it is important to keep thermal considerations in mind when using a low drop out linear regulator having high current and or a wide differential between input and output voltage could lead to large power dissipation additionally efficiency will suffer as the differential widens depending on the package excessive power dissipation could damage the ldo or cause it to go into thermal shutdown quiescent current edit among other important characteristics of a linear regulator is the quiescent current also known as ground current or supply current which accounts for the difference although small between the input and output currents of the ldo that is i q i in i out displaystyle i_ text q i_ text in i_ text out quiescent current is current drawn by the ldo in order to control its internal circuitry for proper operation the series pass element topologies and ambient temperature are the primary contributors to quiescent current 6 many applications don t require an ldo to be in full operation all of the time i e supplying current to the load in this idle state the ldo still draws a small amount of quiescent current in order to keep the internal circuitry ready in case a load is presented when no current is being supplied to the load p loss displaystyle p_ text loss can be found as follows p loss v in i q displaystyle p_ text loss v_ text in i_ q filtering edit torex xc6206 3 3 v ldo voltage regulator in sot23 3 package in addition to regulating voltage ldos can also be used as filters this is especially useful when a system is using switchers which introduce a ripple in the output voltage occurring at the switching frequency left alone this ripple has the potential to adversely affect the performance of oscillators 7 data converters 8 and rf systems 9 being powered by the switcher however any power source not just switchers can contain ac elements that may be undesirable for design two specifications that should be considered when using an ldo as a filter are power supply rejection ratio psrr and output noise specifications edit an ldo is characterized by its drop out voltage quiescent current load regulation line regulation maximum current which is decided by the size of the pass transistor speed how fast it can respond as the load varies voltage variations in the output because of sudden transients in the load current output capacitor and its equivalent series resistance 10 speed is indicated by the rise time of the current at the output as it varies from 0 ma load current no load to the maximum load current this is basically decided by the bandwidth of the error amplifier it is also expected from an ldo to provide a quiet and stable output in all circumstances example of possible perturbation could be sudden change of the input voltage or output current stability analysis put in place some performance metrics to get such a behaviour and involve placing poles and zeros appropriately most of the time there is a dominant pole that arise at low frequencies while other poles and zeros are pushed at high frequencies power supply rejection ratio edit psrr refers to the ldo s ability to reject ripple it sees at its input 11 as part of its regulation the error amplifier and bandgap attenuate any spikes in the input voltage that deviate from the internal reference to which it is compared 12 in an ideal ldo the output voltage would be solely composed of the dc frequency however the error amplifier is limited in its ability to gain small spikes at high frequencies psrr is expressed as follows 11 psrr δ v in 2 δ v out 2 10 log δ v in 2 δ v out 2 db displaystyle text psrr frac delta v_ text in 2 delta v_ text out 2 10 log left frac delta v_ text in 2 delta v_ text out 2 right text db as an example an ldo that has a psrr of 55 db at 1 mhz attenuates a 1 mv input ripple at this frequency to just 1 78 µv at the output a 6 db increase in psrr roughly equates to an increase in attenuation by a factor of 2 most ldos have relatively high psrr at lower frequencies 10 hz 1 khz however a performance ldo is distinguished in having high psrr over a broad frequency spectrum 10 hz 5 mhz having high psrr over a wide band allows the ldo to reject high frequency noise like that arising from a switcher similar to other specifications psrr fluctuates over frequency temperature current output voltage and the voltage differential output noise edit the noise from the ldo itself must also be considered in filter design like other electronic devices ldos are affected by thermal noise bipolar shot noise and flicker noise 9 each of these phenomena contribute noise to the output voltage mostly concentrated over the lower end of the frequency spectrum in order to properly filter ac frequencies an ldo must both reject ripple at the input while introducing minimal noise at the output efforts to attenuate ripple from the input voltage could be in vain if a noisy ldo just adds that noise back again at the output load regulation edit load regulation is a measure of the circuit s ability to maintain the specified output voltage under varying load conditions load regulation is defined as load regulation δ v out δ i out displaystyle text load regulation delta v_ text out over delta i_ text out the worst case of the output voltage variations occurs as the load current transitions from zero to its maximum rated value or vice versa 6 line regulation edit line regulation is a measure of the circuit s ability to maintain the specified output voltage with varying input voltage line regulation is defined as line regulation δ v out δ v in displaystyle text line regulation delta v_ text out over delta v_ text in like load regulation line regulation is a steady state parameter all frequency components are neglected increasing dc open loop current gain improves the line regulation 6 transient response edit the transient response is the maximum allowable output voltage variation for a load current step change the transient response is a function of the output capacitor value c out textstyle c_ text out the equivalent series resistance esr of the output capacitor the bypass capacitor c byp textstyle c_ text byp that is usually added to the output capacitor to improve the load transient response and the maximum load current i out max textstyle i_ text out max the maximum transient voltage variation is defined as follows δ v tr max i out max c out c byp δ t 1 δ v esr displaystyle delta v_ text tr max frac i_ text out max c_ text out c_ text byp delta t_ 1 delta v_ text esr 6 where δ t 1 textstyle delta t_ 1 corresponds to the closed loop bandwidth of an ldo regulator δ v esr textstyle delta v_ text esr is the voltage variation resulting from the presence of the esr r esr textstyle r_ text esr of the output capacitor the application determines how low this value should be evolution and the future edit a competitor to the ldo the ivr integrated voltage regulator appears to offer solutions to many of the issues with efficiency and performance that ldo regulators suffer ivrs combine a switching voltage regulator with all necessary control circuitry into a single device which results in a 10x size reduction and 10 50 energy savings 13 see also edit electronics portal linear regulator voltage regulator switched mode power supply list of linear integrated
