Now electric current is limited to (I1+I2) * M*N*K*J.When Short_prot is high level, the 4th switch S4 disconnects,
EE point is reduced by described 4th current source electric discharge, voltage, controls described second switch S2 Guan Bi slowly,
Then the electric current of the 3rd current source I3 contribution is slowly risen to I3 by 0.Described in when EE discharges into of a sufficiently low second
S2 is of completely closed for switch.Now soft start completes, and electric current limit is stable at (I1+I2+I3) * M*N*K*J.
Additionally, the low-dropout regulator circuit with auxiliary circuit of the embodiment of the present invention also includes the 3rd control
Circuit processed, described 3rd control circuit can eliminate crossing of described power MOS transistor 113 during startup and rush.
Concrete principle has combined Fig. 7 and has been described, and does not repeats them here.
Although present disclosure is as above, but the present invention is not limited to this.Any those skilled in the art,
Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, all can make various changes or modifications, therefore the guarantor of the present invention
The scope of protecting should be as the criterion with claim limited range.
