A low drop-out [LDO] voltage regulator with fast transient response which does not require capacitor for proper operation is proposed in this paper. Recent cap-less LDOs do not use off chip capacitor but instead they use on chip capacitor which occupy large area on chip. In the proposed LDO this on chip capacitor is also avoided. A novel secondary local feed-back technique is introduced which helps to achieve a good transient response even in the absence of output capacitor. Further a self compensating error amplifier is selected to eliminate the need of compensating capacitor. Stability analysis shows that the proposed LDO is stable with a phase margin of 78 0. The proposed LDO is laid out using Cadence spectre in 180 nm standard CMOS technology. Post layout simulation is carried out and LDO gives 6mV/V and 360μV /mA line and load regulation respectively. An undershoot of 120 mV is observed during the load transition from 0 mA to 50 mA with 1 μs transition time, however LDO is able to recover within 1.4μs. Since capacitor is not required in any part of design, it occupies only 0.010824 mmXmm area on chip.

ZnO nanorod arrays were grown on a flexible Kapton tape using microwave-assisted chemical bath deposition. High crystalline properties of the produced nanorods were proven by X-ray diffraction patterns and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Additionally, the photoluminescence spectrum showed higher UV peaks compared with visible peaks, which indicates that the ZnO nanorods had high quality and low number of defects. The metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) configuration was used to fabricate UV and hydrogen gas detectors based on the ZnO nanorods grown on a flexible Kapton tape. Upon exposure to 395 nm UV light, the UV device exhibited fast response and decay times of 37 ms and 44 ms, respectively, at a bias voltage of 30 V. The relative sensitivities of the gas sensor made of the ZnO nanorod arrays, at hydrogen concentration of 2 %, at room temperature, 150 C, are 0.42, 1.4 and 1.75 respectively.
