    Abstract: A dynamic current sink includes the following elements. A voltage comparator compares a reference voltage with a second control signal from an LDO (Low Dropout Linear Regulator) to generate a first control signal. A first transistor selectively pulls down a voltage at a first node according to the first control signal. The inverter is coupled between the first node and a second node. An NAND gate has a first input terminal coupled to a second transistor and a third node, a second input terminal coupled to the second node, and an output terminal coupled to a fourth node. A capacitor is coupled between the fourth node and a fifth node. A resistor is coupled between the fifth node and a ground voltage. A third transistor has a control terminal coupled to the fifth node, and selectively draws a discharge current from an output node of the LDO.

    Abstract: A low dropout regulator that produces an output includes a comparison circuit, configured to compare a signal representative of the output and a reference signal to produce a comparison result. The low dropout regulator also includes a loop controller, coupled to the comparison circuit, configured to generate an output circuit control signal based at least in part on the comparison result. The low dropout regulator also includes an output circuit, comprising two or more output stages, configured to adjust a number of active output stages of the two or more output stages based on the output circuit control signal.
