Update README.md
This is a caravel that has an LDO Design implemented on Skywaters 130nm technology.
We have an enable switch so all the following analysis when the enable signal is high.
We used dc analysis for displaying the operating point for proper biasing of transistors and also dc sweep of output voltage against variations in supply and temprature to calculate dropout voltage,line regulation,temperature coefficient.
We made dc sweep on the supply and plotted voltage of the output node and vdd node overlaid on the same plot
We made dc sweep on temperature from 0 to 85°C and plotted the output voltage vs temperature from which we found temperature coeffiecient in ppm/°C.
We used AC analysis by injecting small ac signal over the supply and plotted the output voltage in dB which refers to the PSRR vs Frequency.
We made the above testbench to cut the feedback loop of the ldo and inject ac signal and then measure the loop gain and phase to find phase margin.
We used transient analysis to show the line transient by varying the supply from 0 to vdd at different supply levels corners such that the nominal supply is 2.3v. When VDD varies from 0 to 2.3v 
When VDD varies from 0 to 2.07v 
When VDD varies from 0 to 2.53v 
The load is varied from 0.1mA to 10mA where the load is modeled as current source varied as PWL source. 
The netlist of all previous analyses is below or you can simply run it using script “LDO_script.bash” existed in scripts folder.
The typical conditions are tt corner ,load of 50uA, T=27°C , VDD=2.3V , We have a script to automate running process corners then getting their statistical distribution where the variation of the load from 50uA till 100mA is included in the corners
