摘要:
A semiconductor device including a reduced surface field strength type LDMOS transistor which can prevent the breakdown of elements at channel formation portions when a reverse voltage is applied to its drain. A P well and an N well are formed in an N-type substrate to produce a double-well structure, with a source electrode being set to be equal in electric potential to the N-type substrate. The drift region of the N well has a dopant concentration to satisfy the so-called RESURF condition, which can provide a high breakdown voltage a low ON resistance. When a reverse voltage is applied to a drain electrode, a parasitic bipolar transistor comprising the N well, the P well and the N-type substrate develops to form a current-carrying path toward a substrate, so that the element breakdown at the channel formation portions is avoidable at the application of the reverse voltage.

A constant voltage circuit robust to the input voltage lowering is disclosed. The invention is applied to a constant voltage circuit fed with an input voltage through first and second power conductors for transferring the input voltage to a load as an output voltage through an output transistor. An inventive constant voltage circuit is provided with a substitute circuit, responsive to a detection of the lowing of the input voltage to a predetermined voltage, for providing a substitute output path that is connected in parallel with the output transistor. Doing this minimize the degree of lowering of the second voltage due to the lowering of said first voltage. The output transistor may be nay of NPN and PNP transistors and P-type and N-type MOS FETs.

A variable load current supply unit supplies a current to be consumed by a constant voltage output unit to a power source terminal thereof, and supplies a current to be consumed by a load circuit thereto through a reference voltage output terminal. The constant voltage output unit maintains a potential of the power source terminal thereof, i.e., a potential of the reference voltage output terminal, at a fixed potential. A base potential control unit negatively feeds back changes in the potential on the reference voltage output terminal to a base of an emitter follower transistor in the variable load current supply unit. In this way, when the current consumed by the load current is reduced and the potential on the reference voltage output terminal thereby slightly increases the current supplied by the variable load current supply unit decreases.
