Abstract:
A low dropout (LDO) device with improved linear mode comprising an error amplifier, a programmable attenuation factor circuit coupled to said error amplifier, a feedback network whose input is electrically connected to said programmable attenuation factor circuit and whose output is electrically coupled to the negative input of said error amplifier, a high side (HS) pre-drive circuit whose input is a high impedance (HiZ) mode signal, a low side (LS) pre-drive circuit whose input is a low pull-down input mode signal, a high side (HS) output stage element electrically coupled to said high side (HS) pre-drive circuit, a low side (LS) output stage element electrically coupled to said low side (LS) pre-drive circuit, and a high side sense (HSENSE) output stage element whose gate is electrically coupled to said high side (HS) pre-drive circuit, and whose gate and source are electrically connected to the output of said error amplifier.

Claim (Index 5):
The low dropout (LDO) device of  claim 3  wherein said high side sense (HSENSE) element is matched to said high side (HS) element by minimizing the nested-to-isolated linewidth variation and interdigitating of said high side sense (HSENSE) element spatially within said high side (HS) element.
