I'm building a regulator that will be used as a "controlled" pulldown for a bias node that needs to be pre-charged to VDD in some modes. This bias node needs to be brought down to a level Vbias, which is what the pulldown regulator is for. After it has been pulled down, the node is connected back to the bias generator.
The regulator is driving a purely capacitive load (NMOS gates). Do you guys see any problems with the scheme below? I've noted that it's possible, because of gate leakage and because there is no DC bias pullup for the node to drift down indefinitely, so the scheme will need to be timed so that leakage will not bring the node too low... Do you guys see any other issues?
Also, how do I go about performing AC analysis, since there is no DC path for the output node (top of cap)?
