摘要: An overcurrent protection circuit configured to limit an output current flowing through an output transistor includes a sense transistor that provides a sense current proportional to the output current, a sense resistor through which the sense current flows, a current limiting circuit that detects a sense voltage generated by the sense resistor and controls a gate voltage of the output transistor, and a current correction circuit that provides the sense resistor with a corrected sense current added to the sense current based on a difference of voltage between a drain voltage of the output transistor and a drain voltage of the sense transistor.

摘要: A voltage regulator includes an error amplifier which receives a feedback voltage and a reference voltage, an amplifier circuit which receives an output voltage of the error amplifier and controls a gate of an output transistor by a first output voltage, and a non-regulation detection circuit which detects a non-regulation state of the voltage regulator based on a second output voltage of the amplifier circuit. The amplifier circuit includes a first transistor receiving the output voltage of the error amplifier at a gate of the first transistor, and a second transistor connected to a drain of the first transistor, and provides the second output voltage based on a gate-source voltage of the second transistor.

摘要: A voltage regulator includes an error amplifier which controls the gate of an output transistor so that a feedback voltage based on an output voltage of an output terminal matches a first reference voltage, a first transistor having a gate to which a second reference voltage is supplied, and a first resistor connected between the gate of the output transistor and the source of the first transistor. The first resistor functions as a resistance constituting a phase compensation circuit by a current flowing therethrough in response to a small output current of the output transistor.
