This paper proposes a low dropout regulator design with dynamic loop gain control for wide-load current range. It uses a multi-phase error detection mechanism, a tri-state damping selector, and a dynamic integration shift register to predict load variation and adjust loop gain for fast response and low power consumption. The design also lowers output voltage ripple to improve achieve high current efficiency.
