Preface

Linear regulators, and more concretely, low-dropout (LDO) linear regulators, are essential blocks in power management systems, as they are able to generate precise and stable, low-noise, supply voltages, making them the right choice for supplying sensitive blocks in analogue, mixed-signal and radio-frequency circuits. In addition, LDO regulators can be completely integrated with no need of external components, what translates into significant savings in area and cost. Therefore, LDO regulators are attracting the attention from the scientific community, despite their use has some drawbacks. To mention, the maximum theoretical efficiency of LDO regulators is lower than that of switched-capacitor or inductor-based solutions. Even more, using internal compensation, the system’s dominant pole is located at an internal node, and t
