摘要: A shunt regulator includes: a capacitor, connected between an output terminal and a ground terminal; a voltage divider circuit and an output transistor, connected between the output terminal and the ground terminal; an error amplifier, controlling the output transistor based on a voltage at an output terminal of the voltage divider circuit and a reference voltage; a non-volatile memory; a memory control circuit, outputting a data read signal to the non-volatile memory; and a voltage detection circuit, detecting that a voltage at the output terminal has reached a predetermined voltage which permits a data reading operation of the non-volatile memory, and outputting a detection signal to the memory control circuit. An operating current of the non-volatile memory is supplied from the capacitor.

摘要: A voltage regulator includes an error amplifier circuit which controls a gate voltage of an output transistor, an overcurrent protection circuit which prevents an overcurrent of the output transistor, and a protection circuit which detects a negative voltage of an output terminal and controls a gate voltage of the output transistor to suppress an overcurrent. The protection circuit includes a MOS transistor which controls the gate voltage of the output transistor, a clamp circuit connected to a gate of the MOS transistor, a semiconductor element having an N-type region connected to the clamp circuit, and a parasitic bipolar transistor constructed from an N-type region connected to the output terminal as an emitter, a P-type substrate as a base, and the N-type region of the semiconductor element as a collector.
