In recent years, with the development of the integrated circuit industry, various power management chips have been developed. The power management chip currently applied to portable electronic products mainly includes discrete devices such as a switching regulator, a charge pump regulator, a low dropout regulator and a PMU power management unit.

The low dropout regulator generally has a current-limiting protection circuit part to prevent the chip from overheating. However, most of the current limiting structures of the existing low dropout linear regulators are realized by detecting the current of a power tube, and the specific implementation method is that the current of a detection tube which is matched with the power tube and is in a certain proportion is detected, when the current of the detection tube exceeds a set value, the current is limited, and a current limiting action signal is sent out; when the detection tube is large and the proportion of the power tube to the detection tube is small, the current limiting value is accurate, but the increase of power consumption can be caused, the current limiting value is particularly serious in a low-power-consumption low-dropout linear voltage regulator, and simultaneously, the matching degree of the power tube and the detection tube, the channel length modulation effect and the non-ideality of an analog circuit can cause the inaccuracy of the current limiting value of a current limiting structure. Therefore, a current limiting circuit and an implementation method of a high-voltage large-current linear voltage regulator are urgently needed.
