This project discusses the design procedure of a conventional Low Dropout Voltage Regulator (LDO) circuit. The circuit consists of 2 stages, a 5-transistor operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) & a pass transistor. The circuit produces a regulated voltage of 0.9V using a reference voltage of 0.75V & a supply of 1.2V.
