Abstract
Differing from conventional LDO voltage regulator being unable to work at a sleep mode for saving power dissipation, the present invention discloses a smart low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator capable of being switched to an operation mode or a sleep mode based on the controlling of an enablable signal. This smart LDO voltage regulator comprises an input voltage detecting unit, a switch controlling unit and a voltage regulating module. During the sleep mode of the smart LDO voltage regulator, the switch controlling unit generates a switch controlling signal to change a switch setting of a switch unit of the voltage regulating module, so as to facilitate the smart LDO voltage regulator produce an output voltage through a first voltage regulating unit or a second voltage regulating unit of the voltage regulating module, or directly output input voltage as the output voltage.
