Abstract :
This paper presents a digitally assisted low-dropout voltage regulator. In lieu of the analog error amplifier, the proposed structure uses an analog-to-digital converter, a digital-to-analog converter, and a digital processor. It offers flexibility in terms of stability and regulation accuracy. The measurement results verify the performance of the proposed structure.
