Abstract :
In CMOS smart sensors and microsystems it can be very convenient to integrate both analog and digital circuits in the same chip; since the supply voltage for high-accuracy, high- precision interfaces should be as immune from disturbances as possible, low drop out regulators are often necessary. Here we show a CMOS, dual op amp, fast, low drop out regulator which allows to diminish the power supply gain by orders of magnitude up to very high frequencies.
