Linear regulator circuit 10 is the power-supply systems being widely used in needing in the application of good transient response and low noise.A shortcoming of linear regulator circuit 10 is power efficiencies.Power transistor device has significant power loss.In order to minimize this waste, drive circuit 14 must be powerful to use input voltage V inputwith output voltage V exportbetween low voltage difference carry out operating power transistor.In addition, the use support of powerful drive circuit 14 operates such as, linear regulator with good load-carrying ability (e.g., High Output Current, good transient response, good Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR)).But, providing with big current consumption (current drain carrying out Self-bias Current I2 more specifically, needed for function driver circuit 14) as cost of powerful drive circuit.
Although illustrated n channel power MOS FET device in Fig. 1, will be appreciated that linear regulator circuit 10 can but use p channel power MOS FET device.N channel device is selected, because n channel device is more effective than p channel device on the electric current that the size of devices process with less is larger when output current demand is larger.In addition, n channel power MOS FET device will provide good transient response usually.But, by using n channel power MOS FET device, need powerful drive circuit 14 to realize gratifying transient response and operational stability.To the operation of this drive circuit 14 unhappy need large static working current.If linear regulator circuit framework can but support highly reduction static working current, then will be favourable.If when load request is low, linear regulator circuit framework provides low-power to maintain behavior, then will be additionally favourable.

OTA for error amplifier circuit 116 provides the first order of adjuster, and this first order plays the effect of the error voltage difference of amplifying between Vref and Vfb.The error signal Vc amplified is imported into drive circuit 114.Drive circuit 114 in response to this error signal with voltage V gridthe control terminal of driving power transistor 112.During the normal running of linear regulator circuit 100, from power supply (V power supplyand V input) total current that transmits provides (wherein, electric current I 1 is the bias current of error amplifier circuit 116, and circuit I 2 is bias currents of drive circuit 114, and circuit I 3 is the electric currents flowing through power transistor 112) by electric current I 1+I2+I3.The total current being poured into the ground (GND) in the circuit 100 of Fig. 2 is provided (wherein, electric current I 5 flows through the electric current of feedback network 18 to ground) by electric current I 1+I5.In this Circnit Layout, the bias current I2 for drive circuit 114 is a part for load current, thus makes I2+I3=I4+I5, and wherein, electric current I 4 is the electric currents being sent to load.Thus the quiescent current for linear regulator circuit 100 is provided by electric current I 1+I5.Electric current I 1 is the relatively low current consumed by the operation of OTA.Electric current I 2 is relatively more much bigger than electric current I 1, because drive circuit 114 needs the control terminal of driving power transistor 12.Suppose that the electric current I 4 required for load reduces, this will cause the corresponding reduction of electric current I 2.When requirement not to load, that is, electric current I 4 is zero, and the maintenance electric current of this linear regulator circuit is also provided by electric current I 1+I5.
The transistor rank implementation of the linear regulator circuit 100 based on the framework shown in Fig. 2 is shown referring now to Fig. 3, Fig. 3.V power supplyit is the positive voltage of the control circuit for adjuster.V inputneed to be conditioned the input voltage that device regulates.If desired, V power supplyand V inputcan be identical voltage.
Error amplifier circuit 116 is the OTA using the one-level folded common source and common grid amplifier design formed by transistor M0, M1, M12, M13, M14, M15, M16 and M17 to realize.Transistor M12 and M13 forms the differential input transistor pair being used for OTA.Electric current I 1 is the right tail current flowing through tail current source CS1 of differential input transistor.Transistor M16 and M17 is configured to current source transistor, and these current source transistors are by bias voltage V biased _ abe biased.By bias voltage V biased _ btransistor M14 and M15 that be biased be to provide the cascade device of the voltage bias of the drain terminal for transistor M12, M13, M16 and M17.Transistor M0 and M1 is the load transistor forming current mirroring circuit.The output of error amplifier circuit 116 is got to provide error signal Vc at the drain terminal place of transistor M1 and M15.
Compensating network 120 is formed by the capacitor Cc between the output and earthing power supply node (GND) of error amplifier circuit 116 and being connected in series of resistor R3.
Clamp circuit 130 is by the output and the adjuster output node V that are connected in series in error amplifier circuit 116 exportbetween diode D1 and D2 formed.The negative electrode of diode D1 and D2 is joined together.The anode of diode D1 is connected to the output of error amplifier circuit 116, and the anode of diode D2 (such as, it is Zener diode) is connected to adjuster output node V export.Clamp circuit 130 plays voltage clamp at Vc and V exportbetween to protect the effect of the grid of power transistor 112, but it should be noted that about this circuit, V exportand the voltage between Vc is not by clamp.Those skilled in the art will recognize that, the clamp circuit of any kind that diode D1 and D2 of circuit 130 can be matched by the source voltage ratings with power transistor 112 substitutes.
Drive circuit 114 is formed by current source CS2, diode D0 and transistor M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M9 and M10.Vc is the input of drive circuit, and V gridthe output of drive circuit.Diode D0 is the parasitic diode of transistor M7.When the voltage of error signal Vc is lower than output voltage V exporttime, transistor M7 turns off and diode D0 and transistor M7 protects the grid of input transistors M4 to avoid reverse breakdown.Transistor M2, M3, M4, M5 and M9 form unity gain buffer circuit.The input of this buffer circuits is at the grid place of transistor M4.The output of this buffer circuits is in drain electrode place of transistor M5.Negative feedback is provided by being linked together by the drain and gate of transistor M5.Transistor M4 and M5 forms differential input transistor pair.Transistor M2 and M3 is the load transistor being connected to be formed current mirroring circuit.Transistor M9 is for the right tail current source transistor of this input difference.Transistor M6 is connected as source follower transistor, and its bias current is provided by transistor M10.Current source CS2 is connected to transistor M8 to form bias generator circuit, and this bias generator circuit provides bias current with a kind of relation of current mirror with the driver output stage that transistor M9 and M10 is connected for being formed by transistor M6 and M10.
Feedback network 118 is formed by resistor R1 and R2 be connected in series between output node and earthing power supply node.Tap node between resistor R1 and R2 generates feedback voltage Vfb to put on the grid of the transistor M13 in error amplifier circuit 116.Reference voltage Vref is applied to the grid of transistor M12.
Linear regulator circuit 100 operates as follows:
Output voltage V is sensed by feedback network 118 exportto generate feedback voltage Vfb.Error voltage between Vref and Vfb is amplified with generated error signal Vc by error amplifier circuit 116.Output from the voltage V of drive circuit 114 gridthe voltage of tracking error signal Vc is to control the grid voltage of power transistor 112.By negative feedback loop, feedback voltage Vfb will follow reference voltage Vref, and the output voltage V at output node place exportbe adjusted to:
V export=Vref* (Vfb1+Vfb2)/Vfb2, wherein, Vfb1 and Vfb2 is the voltage across resistor R1 and R2 respectively.
Output (the V of departure signal Vc, drive circuit 114 will be carried out for different load currents by feedback loop grid) and input transistors M4 and M5 in drive circuit 114 public connection on the voltage of node Vs.Electric current I 2_1 is the fixed component not controlled by feedback loop of driver circuit current I2.Electric current I 2_2 and I2_3 is the variable componenent controlled by feedback loop of driver circuit current I2.Electric current I 3 is also the variable current controlled by feedback loop.This control is by control voltage Vs and V gridperform.
When load current I4 is larger, so: I4=I2_1+I2_2+I2_3+I3-I5.
The voltage V of the output of drive circuit 114 gridbe controlled to meet this equation.But, along with load current I4 reduces, voltage V gridall reduce along with the reduction of electric current I 4 with electric current I 3, until the gate source voltage of power transistor 112 (Vgs) is lower than its threshold value and electric current I 3 is zero.So: I4=I2_1+I2_2+I2_3-I5.
Along with electric current I 4 still reduces further, feedback loop will reduce voltage Vs and V grid.Electric current I 2_2 and I2_3 also will reduce, because the drain-source voltage of transistor M9 and M10 reduces.
When I4 is reduced to 0, so: I4=I2_1+I2_2+I2_3-I5=0 and I2_1+I2_2+I2_3=I5.
When the drain-source voltage of transistor M10 and M11 is zero, the minimum value of electric current I 2_2 and I2_3 is zero.But as mentioned above, electric current I 2_1 has not by the fixed value that feedback loop controls.Therefore, because I2_1<=I5, there is constraint.If I2_1>I5, so electric current I 4 can not be zero.
So, importantly it should be noted that the drive circuit 114 in linear regulator circuit 100 is floating drives, the negative power source terminal of this floating drive is connected directly to V export.So the bias current I2 of drive circuit 114 is also a part for output current.This is different from the linear regulator circuit 10 of Fig. 1, in this linear regulator circuit, and bias current I2 but flow to earthing power supply node.Thus, not only control the grid voltage of power transistor 112 at the voltage of the error signal Vc of the output of error amplifier circuit 116 and the input end of drive circuit 114, but also the bias current of drive circuit is controlled in the scope between electric current I 2_1 and electric current I 2_1+I2_2+I2_3 to provide the minimum current of I2_1.Thus, the bias current of quiescent current by error amplifier circuit 116 of linear regulator circuit 100 and the current definition of feedback network.
Be compared to the circuit of Fig. 1, the disclosed circuit embodiments for linear regulator circuit 100 is with the power efficient operation improved.No matter need how many output currents, lower current drain is provided to the operation of circuit and maintains load-carrying ability simultaneously.Quiescent current for circuit is reduced to the level of the quiescent current lower than the normal two-stage calculation amplifier with identical bandwidth.
