Abstract:
A low dropout voltage (LDO) regulator including: a coarse loop circuit configured to receive an input voltage, generate a coarse code and adjust a coarse current according to the coarse code; a digital controller configured to receive the coarse code and generate a fine loop control signal according to the coarse code; and a fine loop circuit configured to receive the input voltage and the fine loop control signal and adjust a fine current according to the input voltage and the fine loop control signal, wherein the coarse current and the fine current adjust a level of an output voltage.

Claim (Index 1):
A low dropout voltage (LDO) regulator, comprising:\n a fine loop circuit configured to receive an input voltage, provide a fine loop current to an output voltage node and to be disabled in response to a disable signal when an output voltage at the output voltage node changes; a coarse loop circuit configured to receive the input voltage, provide a coarse current to the output voltage node in response to a coarse code when the fine loop circuit is disabled; and a digital controller configured to generate an initialization signal to be set an initial fine current of the fine loop circuit in a way that reduces a transition effect due to a loop change while the coarse current is being varied and to provide an enable signal to the fine loop circuit to activate the fine loop circuit when the coarse current enters a steady state, wherein the LDO regulator receives a power supply voltage from a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) through a power line and provides the output voltage as an internal power supply voltage to a load circuit through the output voltage node.
