And power management is important for portable electronic devices in order to enhance the system quality and increase the battery runtime. Low-Dropout regulators(LDO) are widely used either alone in many integrated power management circuits, while they can provide wideband and reliable regulated low noise supply voltage for noise-sensitive analog and RF loads. Most of conventional LDOs use a large capacitor, which cannot be implemented on chip. Therefore, output-capacitorless LDOs are needed for SoC applications. In order to extend the system runtime, the low power consumption has been an important aim of scientific researchers. So low power consumption of output-capacitorless LDO become one of the hot spot of current research. In this paper, the development of the future, the basic structure and performance parameters are introduced firstly. Then, various factors which influence the stability of transient response, and compare the OCL-LDO find the optimal method of OCL-LDO are analyzed. While an instantaneous current-boosting voltage buffer is inserted to improve the transient responses. The stability and transient responses of the LDO regulator are presented, and it
