ABSTRACT:
A low-drop out (LDO) regulator is provided. In one embodiment, the LDO regulator includes an error amplifier, a pass transistor, a reference voltage circuit, an output noise filter, and a voltage divider. The voltage divider provides a feedback voltage based on the output voltage. Further, the feedback voltage is provided at a feedback node. The output of the error amplifier is coupled to the pass transistor. The reference voltage circuit is coupled to a first input of the error amplifier. The output noise filter is coupled between the feedback node and the second input of the error amplifier.
