6.3.1.1 DC Regulation

An LDO functions as a buffered op-amp in which the input signal is the internal reference voltage (VNR/SS), as shown in Figure 6-1, and in normal regulation VFBP = VNR/SS. Sharing a single reference makes sure that both channels track each other during start-up.

VNR/SS is designed to have a very low-bandwidth at the input to the error amplifier through the use of a low-pass filter. As such, the reference can be considered as a pure dc input signal.

As Figure 6-2 shows, the negative LDO on the device regulates with a VFBN = 0V and inverts the positive reference (VBUF). This topology allows the negative regulator to regulate down to 0V.
