This paper presents a nano-power Low Drop-Out (LDO) voltage regulator circuit for Radio-Frequency System-on-Chip (RF SoC) applications, this LDO is designed for a smaller dimension due to CMOS technology and in the weak inversion region, can thus be used to minimize power loss of LDO regulator without transientresponse degradation. The proposed structure its low power dissipation make it ideal for RF system-on-chip applications that require low power dissipation under different loading conditions. In order to optimize performance for LDO, the proposed amplifier helps to minimize power of LDO regulators without using any onchip and off-chip compensation capacitors. The output spot noise at 100Hz and 1 kHz are 200nV/sqrt (Hz) and 6nV/sqrt (Hz), respectively. The active area of the circuit is 850 µm2 . The regulator operates with supply voltages from 1.2V to 2V.
