Younghyun Lim and Jeonghyun Lee, under supervision of Prof. Jaehyouk Choi, have been selected as the “Best Paper Award” winners for the 16th IEEE RF/Analog Workshop, which was held in Jeju, Korea.

 

The IEIE RF/Analog Workshop is one of the major domestic workshops on semiconductor circuits. Annually, prestigious semiconductor circuit designers from industries and universities have attended this workshop, and showed state-of-the-art semiconductor technology. The “Best Paper Award” is an honorable prize which presented to an outstanding paper showing great outcomes.

 

In this work, the authors designed a new low dropout regulator (LDO) for analog/RF circuits, which had high power-supply rejection ratio (PSRR) and a fast transient response while maintaining a low dropout voltage and a large load current. The prototype circuit was fabricated using a TSMC 40-nm CMOS process.
