Voltage regulator |
摘要 |
A voltage regulator includes a two-stage feedback circuit for driving a controller formed by a transistor 10. The feedback circuit includes an error amplifier 30 and an output amplifier 20, a simple compensating circuit in the form of a resistor R<SMALLCAPS>SZ </SMALLCAPS>inserted between the inverting input 22 and the non-inverting input 24 of the output amplifier 20 resulting in a high phase reserve of the feedback circuit. The resistor R<SMALLCAPS>SZ </SMALLCAPS>limits the gain of the error amplifier 30 for small load currents by reducing its effective output impedance. This compensating circuit results in the two-stage feedback circuit being highly stable even when very low load currents are involved. This now makes it possible to achieve a very simple linear voltage regulator architecture totally integrated on a single chip. It is especially in battery-powered handhelds such as e.g. mobile phones or electronic organizers that this is important since these devices are often on standby with a low current consumption and activated for use only occasionally.
