Abstract:
According to an aspect, a low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator includes a differential amplifier, a pass transistor coupled to an output of the differential amplifier, where the pass transistor is configured to provide an output voltage of the LDO voltage regulator, and a soft-start circuit coupled to the differential amplifier. The soft-start circuit is configured to adjust a soft-start driving signal to control a slope of the output voltage based on the output voltage during a start-up operation of the LDO voltage regulator.

Claim (Index 10):
A low dropout (LDO) voltage regulator comprising:\n a differential amplifier; a pass transistor coupled to an output of the differential amplifier, the pass transistor configured to provide an output voltage of the LDO voltage regulator; and a soft-start circuit coupled to the differential amplifier, the soft-start circuit including a clamp capacitor configured to be charged during a start-up operation of the LDO voltage regulator to control an increase of the output voltage, the soft-start circuit configured to cause the clamp capacitor to have a first voltage slope in a first phase of the start-up operation and a second voltage slope in a second phase of the start-up operation, the second voltage slope being different than the first voltage slope, at least one of the first phase or the second phase having a duration that is determined based on a value of the output voltage.
