Abstract | Low-dropout regulators (LDOs) are widely distributed in SoC designs to supply individual voltage domains, and a digital LDO (DLDO) is favorable for its lowvoltage operation and process scalability. However, as many SoCs generate a load current (ILOAD) variation at sub-A/ns level, voltage regulators require a large areaconsuming output capacitor (COUT) to maintain the output voltage (VOUT) during fast transients. A conventional shift-register (SR)-based DLDO [1] suffers from a power and speed trade-off, thus requires a large COUT. To break the tie and minimize COUT, [2-5] applied coarse-fine tuning and adaptive clocking, but a fast sampling clock is still necessary for instantaneous VOUT sensing. Event-driven control used in [6] reacts fast within one clock cycle, but the ADC (with 7 comparators) and the digital PI controller increase the complexity and power consumption. This work presents an analog-assisted (AA) tri-loop control scheme for transient improvement, low power, and COUT reduction. |
