    摘要: Power supply noise reduction methods and low drop out (LDO) voltage regulators with capacitively coupled supply noise-reducing components are disclosed. One illustrative voltage regulator includes: a pass transistor having an n-type conduction channel that couples a supply voltage to an output node; an operational amplifier that derives a control signal for the pass transistor from a difference between a reference voltage and a scaled or unscaled voltage of the output node, the control signal being supplied to a gate or base of the pass transistor; a buffer that derives a ripple cancellation signal from the supply voltage; and a coupling capacitor that couples the buffer to the base or gate of the pass transistor to impose the ripple cancellation signal on the control signal.
