    摘要: A low-dropout voltage regulator (2) comprises: a differential amplifier portion (4) including a first amplifier input connected to a reference voltage (16), a second amplifier input, and a differential output which is determined by a difference between the reference voltage and a voltage on the second amplifier input; an output portion (10) arranged to provide a regulator output voltage (62) which is controlled by the differential output of the amplifier portion, the second amplifier input being connected to or derived from (70) the regulator output voltage; and a biasing portion (8) arranged to measure an external load current and to provide a biasing current to the differential amplifier portion which depends on the load current.

    摘要: A MOSFET has a current conduction path between source and drain terminals. A gate terminal of the MOSFET receives an input signal to facilitate current conduction in the current conduction path as a result of a gate-to-source voltage reaching a threshold voltage. A body terminal of the MOSFET is coupled to body voltage control circuitry that is sensitive to the voltage at the gate terminal of the MOSFET. The body voltage control circuitry responds to a reduction in the voltage at the gate terminal of the MOSFET by increasing the body voltage of the MOSFET at the body terminal of the MOSFET. As a result, there is reduction in the threshold voltage. The circuit configuration is applicable to amplifier circuits, comparator circuits and current mirror circuits.
