hello,
i m trying to model in vhdl-ams low drop-out voltage regulator,
i m searching for existing model, but i don’t find ...  ::)
in some one know some ams existing model, that's will be fine

What are you trying to model?
a simple model can be made by a simple multiplication of the reference by a constant.

Chouba,

What do you need the LDO model for?  In your simulation testbench will the models of the load be drawing current from the LDO or are you just supplying a voltage?  

Don't go bananas modeling details like load regulation and line regulation if the output serves as the power supply to a sea of digital gates.

Will the model be used in a suite of full chip verification testcases?  If so, even if you need all the details (like load and line regulation) for a few testcases, you certainly do not need those details for the other 98% of testcases.

Or on the other hand, are you doing top-down design and plan to use a model of the LDO as an "executable spec" and designing the LDO schematic later?  In that case you need the model to behave as realistically as possible.

Cheers,

Bob P.
