Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A digital low-dropout (LDO) regulator comprising only thin-oxide MOS transistors was developed. The input voltage to the LDO is set to be higher than the nominal overdrive voltage of thin-oxide MOS transistors by applying the proposed overdrive-voltage relaxation scheme. In the LDO, fast transient response can be achieved by applying an output capacitor-less design, which is based on power-MOS features as follows: 1-GHz switching and the small number of levels whereas a wide range of load current (400 $\mu$A - 250 mA) can be covered by applying the proposed power-MOS configuration. The LDO occupies only 0.057 mm$^2$ area using 40-nm CMOS technology, and the measured the transient response time is only 0.07 $\mu$s.
