    摘要: A regulator circuit includes: a voltage detection circuit that detects a magnitude of an output voltage of an output node, and outputs a feedback voltage that indicates a result of the detection; an error amplifier circuit that compares the feedback voltage with a reference voltage, and outputs a voltage that indicates a result of the comparison; an output circuit that supplies an output current to the output node according to the voltage output by the error amplifier circuit; a current detection circuit that detects a magnitude of the output current; and a current bias circuit that supplies an output bias current to the output node, and increases or decreases the output bias current based on a result of the detection of the current detection circuit.

    摘要: A power source device includes a storage capacitor, a voltage detection circuit, input terminals, and output terminals, further includes: a boost circuit which converts a storage power provided to the input terminals to a boosted power under the condition that a stored voltage becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined voltage, and outputs the boosted power from the output terminals; and a MOS transistor which controls a supply of the boosted power to a load. One of the input terminals is connected to a gate terminal of the MOS transistor, and one of the output terminals is connected to a source terminal of the MOS transistor. The MOS transistor turns on to convert the storage power to the boosted power in the boost circuit, while the MOS transistor turns off not to convert the storage power to the boosted power in the boost circuit.

    摘要: A low-voltage bandgap reference circuit includes a current source supplying a reference voltage rail. A first BJT has a collector coupled to the voltage rail via a resistor, a base coupled directly to the voltage rail, and an emitter coupled to ground via an emitter resistance. A second BJT has a collector coupled to the voltage rail via a resistor, a base coupled to voltage rail by a first base resistance and to ground via a second base resistance, and a collector coupled to the emitter resistance via an intermediate resistance. A third BJT has a collector driven by a current source, a base coupled to a node between the first and second base resistances, and an emitter coupled to ground. A feedback amplifier regulates the reference voltage rail to equalize collector voltages of the first and second BJTs.

    摘要: A circuit for generating an output voltage, and regulating the output voltage to a target voltage, is described. The circuit comprises a pass device coupled between an input voltage level and an output voltage level, an error amplifier stage configured to generate a first control voltage on the basis of a reference voltage and the output voltage, a buffer stage configured to generate a drive signal for the pass device on the basis of the first control voltage, and a tracking circuit configured to track a voltage across the pass device and to generate a second control voltage on the basis of the voltage across the pass device. The buffer stage comprises a variable resistance element, for limiting a current flowing through the buffer stage on the basis of the second control voltage.

    摘要: A low dropout regulator that produces an output includes a comparison circuit, configured to compare a signal representative of the output and a reference signal to produce a comparison result. The low dropout regulator also includes a loop controller, coupled to the comparison circuit, configured to generate an output circuit control signal based at least in part on the comparison result. The low dropout regulator also includes an output circuit, comprising two or more output stages, configured to adjust a number of active output stages of the two or more output stages based on the output circuit control signal.
