Abstract:
A power-supply apparatus according to an aspect includes an inductor, a transistor that supplies, in an on-state, a current to the input side of the inductor, a second transistor that becomes, when the first transistor is in an off-state, an on-state and thereby brings the input side of the inductor to a predetermined potential, a signal generation unit that generates voltage signals corresponding to a current flowing to the inductor, an amplifier that outputs a current according to the voltage signals, a converter that converts the current output from the amplifier into a voltage signal, and a control unit that controls the transistors based on a first feedback signal corresponding to the voltage on the output side of the inductor and the voltage signal, which is used as a second feedback signal.
Abstract:
In a switching power source which controls a current which flows in an inductor through a switching element which performs a switching operation in response to a PWM signal, and forms an output voltage by a capacitor which is provided in series in the inductor, a booster circuit which is constituted of a bootstrap capacity and a MOSFET is provided between an output node of the switching element and a predetermined voltage terminal. The boosted voltage is used as an operational voltage of a driving circuit of the switching element, another source/drain region and a substrate gate are connected with each other, and a junction diode between one source/drain region and the substrate gate is inversely directed with respect to the boosted voltage which is formed by the bootstrap capacity.
Abstract:
A voltage regulator has a voltage converter circuit and a control unit. The control unit controls the voltage converter circuit so that an output voltage attains a target voltage when the voltage regulator is in a no-load condition so as to have a transition characteristic in which the output voltage decreases with increase in the load current. The control unit calculates deviation between the output voltage and an ideal value thereof when a load condition of the voltage regulator is a first load condition, and corrects the target voltage by the output voltage adjustment unit. so The control unit also calculates deviation between rate of change of the output voltage with respect to the load current and an ideal value thereof, and corrects the transition characteristic so that the deviation becomes small to minimize deviation.
