LOW-DROPOUT REGULATOR HAVING SOURCING AND SINKING CAPABILITIES

A low-dropout regulator comprises an output current branch (100) in which a first output driver (110) and a second output driver (120) is arranged. An input amplifier stage (200) provides a first control current (I1) to control the operating state of the first and the second output driver (110, 120)...

Zusammenfassung:A low-dropout regulator comprises an output current branch (100) in which a first output driver (110) and a second output driver (120) is arranged. An input amplifier stage (200) provides a first control current (I1) to control the operating state of the first and the second output driver (110, 120). A current generator unit (300) provides a second control current (I2) to operate the first output driver (110) in the second operating state and provides a third control current (I3) to operate the second output driver (120) in the second operating state, when the first control current (I1) of the input amplifier stage (200) is below a threshold level.
