MUMBAI, India, Nov. 14 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202441036797 A) filed by Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea, on May 9, 2024, for 'low drop-out regulator with active discharge circuit.'

Inventor(s) include Siddamurthy, Subba Reddy; Tadinada, Aswani Aditya Kumar; and Issa, Venkatsuryam Setty.

The application for the patent was published on Nov. 14, under issue no. 46/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "An LDO regulator circuit includes an Active Capacitor Frequency Compensation (ACFC) circuit and an output circuit. The ACFC circuit includes a current amplifier. The output circuit includes a pass transistor, an output node and an active discharge circuit connected to the output node. The current amplifier includes a source degeneration resistor-capacitor (RC) configured to control a gain of the current amplifier. The ACFC circuit is configured to control a voltage across a gate source junction of the pass transistor. The active discharge circuit is configured to drain a current from the output node based on a voltage across the gate source junction of the pass transistor and a load current at the output node."
