comparison of two LDO structures !!
Oct 07th, 2008, 7:47pm
 
Hi,all
  I am designing a LDO with required output voltage of 3V and current ability of 50mA. There are two structure to choose ,
but i don't know what merit each has.
what difference are between them,and which is better?
Thanks in advance.

These are identical structures, just with different flavors of inputs.  Either one could be made to meet the specs that you've given, but there are so many trade-offs implied in your question.  To answer the question as you stated it, but with a large amount of ambiguity, both have merit and both could be better at different times depending on the circumstance.

It really seems like you need to consult a text book first, and one popular one is "Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits" by Grey, Hurst, Lewis, and Meyer.

The only difference between the two structures is the error amplifier used for the loop. As Tlaloc pointed out there are several trade offs usually invovled that should be considered when it comes to decide for the error amplifier's topolgy, that your question cannot be answered without more information about your circuit requirements.
