摘要： A circuit arrangement and method for improving load regulation in an amplifier (e.g., LDO amplifier) uses a feedback circuit including a parallely connected feedback resistance Rf and a noise reduction feedback capacitance Cf, wherein an external capacitance has equivalent series resistance (ESR). The circuit arrangement includes a resistance Resr in the amplifier output, a junction point of the feedback resistance Rf and the feedback capacitor Cf being connected to a negative input of the LDO amplifier. Additionally, the circuit arrangement might include a resistance Rintentional in between Cf and Rf. The circuit arrangement provides good load regulation and better stability without increase in power/area. The arrangement supports external feedback mode providing design flexibility without compromising amplifier-stability, which provides high output current drive capability or enables driving heavy output capacitance. In a preferred form the invention includes split feedback including AC feedback and DC feedback.

摘要： A voltage regulator includes a measurement circuit for obtaining a value representing a magnitude of an output capacitance connected at an output node of the voltage regulator. A correction circuit in the voltage regulator modifies a compensation circuit internal to the voltage regulator based on the value. The modification of the compensation circuit is done to ensure that sufficient stability margins to accommodate the output capacitance are ensured for the main feedback loop in the voltage regulator. In an embodiment, a voltage proportional to the output capacitance is detected at start-up of the voltage regulator, and a corresponding binary signal is generated. The logic value of the binary signal is used to add or remove components and/or circuit portions in the compensation circuit to ensure stability. The voltage regulator is thus designed to support a wide range of output capacitance values.

摘要： An amplifier sharing technique in an analog to digital converter (ADC) in which a cascaded combination of a pre-amplifier and main amplifier is used to provide the required amplification for a first stage, and only the main amplifier is used to provide the amplification for the second stage. Switches and capacitors are used in conjunction such that the sampling and feedback capacitors of the first stage are connected across the cascaded combination in a first phase, and sampling and feedback capacitors of the second stage are connected across the main amplifier in a second phase. By appropriate choice of parameter values for various components, the second poles due to the pre-amplifier may be located at the higher frequency ranges obtaining the required unity gain bandwidth (UGB) without Miller compensation and/or additional gain.

摘要： A linear voltage regulator includes a pair of amplifiers. A first amplifier of the pair is used in conventional fashion to generate a regulated output voltage by controlling an impedance of a pass transistor in the linear voltage regulator, the controlling being based on a difference between a reference voltage and a voltage at a first node in a voltage divider network connected between the output terminal of the voltage regulator and a ground terminal. The second amplifier of the pair compares the regulated output voltage and a voltage at a second node in the voltage divider network, and injects a proportional current into the first node. Generation of a regulated output voltage lesser than the reference voltage is thereby enabled.
