    摘要: An overcurrent detection device of the present disclosure has two charge storage circuits, a control module and a counter circuit. The control module controls and provides charge paths of the two charge storage circuits, so that the two charge storage circuits are charged by a reference current and a sensed current respectively, wherein the sensed current is generated by an output current of a low-dropout regulator. The counter circuit obtains a voltage of the charge storage circuit charged by the sensed current, and counts accordingly. When the counting of the counter circuit reaches a specific value, the counter circuit outputs an overcurrent detection signal. When the output current is an overcurrent, the counter circuit first counts to the specific value before the charge storage circuit which is charged by the reference current is charged to a specific voltage.

    摘要: Disclosed are a self-adaptive fast-response LDO circuit and a chip thereof. Said circuit comprises a band gap reference circuit, an error amplifier, a power tube, a feedback resistor network, and a self-adaptive acceleration response circuit. The current of the power tube is mirrored by means of the self-adaptive acceleration response circuit, such that the tail current of a differential circuit in the error amplifier can accelerate charging and discharging adaptively according to load changes of the LDO circuit. In addition, before the LDO circuit is stably balanced, the characteristics of unbalanced states of two differential input ends of the error amplifier are used to perform fast charging and discharging on the tail current of the differential circuit and a gate electrode of the power tube in an extremely short time, such that the response time of the LDO circuit is greatly reduced.
