Abstract
A low-dropout regulator (LDO) capable of providing high power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and good reverse isolation. The LDO may include a core circuitry and a reverse isolation circuitry. The core circuitry may include a PSRR circuitry coupled to an output node and configured to provide high PSRR at the output node. The reverse isolation circuitry may be configured to provide good reverse isolation at the output node by, for example, providing current in response to ripples at the output node. The reverse isolation circuitry may be configured with bandwidth higher than that of the core circuitry such that it can provide fast transient response. The reverse isolation circuitry may be configurable and/or reconfigurable for a desirable reverse isolation performance. The reverse isolation circuitry may be configurable and/or reconfigurable to trade off between power consumed by the reverse isolation circuitry and a leakage current flowing through the core circuitry.
