Abstract
This thesis presents work on the design of 1.5V, 100mA low-dropout (LDO) regulators with fast transient responses in the IBM8HP 0.13μm BiCMOS process. A conventional LDO architecture intended for use in an RF system was implemented and measured. The design of a printed circuit board (PCB) that is capable of measuring all pertinent characteristics of the regulator is also presented. Measurements show that the conventional design achieves a recovery time of less than 100ns with output voltage variations of less than 50mV. In addition to the conventional design, a new output capacitor-free architecture is introduced that can be fully integrated onto a chip. Simulations show that the output capacitor-free design achieves a recovery time of less than 50ns with output voltage variations of less than 140mV.
