Abstract
A method achieves minimum limit cycle oscillation (LCO) amplitude of a digital low dropout regulator (D-LDO) by adding auxiliary unit power transistors in parallel with the main PMOS array with selected unit strength and LCO mode. An improved D-LDO with reduced LCO amplitude includes an auxiliary power transistor array in selected strength driven by an output of a comparator in parallel with a main power transistor array.
