Monolithic integrated voltage regulator

摘要

A voltage regulator in the form of a series regulator for generating a regulated supply voltage includes a control loop with a reference network, a difference device, and a control element. The control element is connected between a first terminal and a second terminal. The power supply for the reference network and the difference device is coupled to the second terminal. During a starting phase, a starting device with an auxiliary circuit pulls the control loop into the regular operating range.
