A 53-mu A-quiescent 400-mA load demultiplexer based CMOS multi-voltage domain low dropout regulator for RF energy harvester

A low-power capacitorless demultiplexer-based multi-voltage domain low-dropout regulator (MVD-LDO) with 180 nm CMOS technology is proposed in this work. The MVD-LDO has a 1.5 V supply voltage headroom and regulates an output from four voltage domains ranging from 0.8 V to 1.4 V, with a high current...
