    Abstract

    the proposed distributive digital low dropout (DLDO) regulator utilizes the triple binary successive approximation recursive (SAR) control algorithm for fast transient response. In addition, the body voltage control (BVC) can be used to expand the least significant bit (LSB) to enhance the accuracy. In case of load transients, the BVC can further increase or decrease the driving capability for fast transient response. Experimental results show that the voltage droop can be less than 72mV at FCLK = 100MHz, accomplishing a fast settling time of 3.6ns. Burst cells and lossless cells can maintain overshoot below 68mV with the settling time of 11.2ns. The BVC technique reduces output voltage ripple to less than 0.4mV in the steady-state.
