Abstract: A linear voltage regulator includes a transistor, an error amplifier, a feedback circuit and a compensation circuit. The transistor has a first terminal for receiving an input voltage, a second terminal for providing an output voltage, and a control terminal. The error amplifier has a first input terminal, a second input terminal and an output terminal, wherein the first input terminal receives a reference voltage, and the output terminal is coupled to the control terminal of the transistor. The feedback circuit receives the output voltage and generates a feedback voltage lower than the output voltage. The compensation circuit is configured to receive the feedback voltage and generate a compensation voltage at the second input terminal of the error amplifier. The compensation circuit includes a compensation capacitor for introducing a zero point into an open-loop transfer function of the linear voltage regulator to improve system stability.

Abstract: A clock self-testing method and circuit. The clock self-testing method includes introducing a first clock signal and a second clock signal, counting cycles of the first clock signal and the second clock signal respectively beginning at the same moment, and if one of the number of cycles of the first clock signal being counted and the number of cycles of the second clock signal being counted is equal to N, determining whether the remained number of cycles is in a count range from M to N. If the remained number of cycles is out of the count range from M to N, the first clock signal and the second clock signal have errors.
