    摘要: A linear regulator adjusts an intermediate voltage VREGOUT at an output node such that an output voltage VOUT at an output terminal approaches a first target voltage VOUT(REF1). A Dixon-type charge pump circuit enters a disable state when the output voltage VOUT is higher than a threshold voltage VTH(CP) determined to be lower than the first target voltage VOUT(REF1), outputs the intermediate voltage VREGOUT at a first input node to the output node in the disable state, enters an enable state when the output voltage VOUT is lower than the threshold voltage VTH(CP), and stabilizes the output voltage VOUT at the output terminal to a second target voltage VOUT(REF2) determined to be lower than the first target voltage VOUT(REF1) in the enable state.
